Design for a flexible video surveillance as a service

Current video surveillance systems are popular on standalone applications. A free video surveillance software usually fixes its configuration on a single desktop. This makes it is hard to scale the system up for supporting many cameras. Moreover, it also needs a one-stop management service method. Our research tries to enhance OpenVSS, an open source video surveillance system, for Video Surveillance as a Service (VSaaS) so that it can be used by multiple users and runs on Infrastructure as a Service of Cloud Computing in the future.
