A security surveillance system is described incorporating a plurality of surveillance devices including a plurality of imaging devices, and at least one of a remote monitoring centre for monitoring of images produced by the imaging devices and a remote recording centre for recording of images produced by the imaging devices. The system is arrayed as a plurality as network nodes, at least some of which nodes include one or more imaging devices, and at least one of which nodes includes a monitoring centre and/or recording centre, wherein each node is in direct network connection to at least two other nodes. In particular the network is cellular in that at least three network nodes are arrayed in a ring wherein each node is in direct network connection to the two neighbouring nodes in the ring, and the overall array comprises a plurality of such rings to produce a cellular, honeycomb-like network structure. A method of use of such a system in an urban environment is also described. |
