Claim:
1. A method for adjusting an image adjustment parameter of a camera based on specific areas within an image view of the camera, the method comprising: receiving a plurality of images in the form of a video sequence representing an image view monitored by the camera; detecting, from the plurality of images, one or more events, wherein each detected event is of a specific event type, the events of a specific event type being one of presence of motion, presence of an object having a specific appearance, or a combination thereof; dynamically identifying, based upon the detection of each event, one or more specific locations represented by at least one pixel coordinate within the image view where the detected event is present; determining a presence value for each of the dynamically identified specific locations within the image view where the detected event is present, wherein each presence value is dynamically updated to reflect a number of occurrences in the plurality of images of the specific event type in each of the dynamically identified specific locations; and adjusting the image adjustment parameter of the camera, including a camera setting, or an image processing setting, or a combination thereof, for one or more of the dynamically identified specific locations within the image view having a presence value above a threshold.
