Abstract—This paper discusses the idea and demonstrates an
early prototype of a novel method of interacting with security
surveillance footage using natural user interfaces in place of
traditional mouse and keyboard interaction. Current
surveillance monitoring stations and systems provide the user
with a vast array of video feeds from multiple locations on a
video wall, relying on the user’s ability to distinguish locations
of the live feeds from experience or list based key-value pair of
location and camera IDs. During an incident, this current
method of interaction may cause the user to spend increased
amounts time obtaining situational and location awareness,
which is counter-productive. The system proposed in this paper
demonstrates how a multi-touch screen and natural interaction
can enable the surveillance monitoring station users to quickly
identify the location of a security camera and efficiently
respond to an incident.
Index Terms—Video surveillance stations, multi-touch screen,
NUI, human computer interaction.
