A method for monitoring motion using a plurality of skeleton recording devices, the method comprising: detecting, by a processor of a monitoring system, the presence of at least one human skeleton in a field of view of a first skeleton recording device from the plurality of recording devices, wherein each of the plurality of skeleton recording devices is connected with a separate monitoring device wherein each of the plurality of skeleton recording devices are placed in an area of surveillance with non-overlapping field of view monitoring the complete area of surveillance; tracking, by the processor, the at least one human skeleton within the FOV of the first skeleton recording device, wherein tracking includes determining a direction of traversal of the at least one human skeleton and extracting skeleton data pertaining to the at least one human skeleton tracked by the first skeleton recording device; transmitting, by the processor, a message to the rest of the plurality of skeleton recording devices, in case of absence of a human skeleton in the field of view of the first skeleton recording device from the plurality of recording devices to switch ON and OFF corresponding infrared sensors in a round robin manner; in case of detection of at least the one human skeleton coming to one of the edges of the field of view of the first recording device; identifying, by the processor, one or more second skeleton recording devices based on the direction of traversal of the at least one human skeleton from the FOV of the first skeleton recording device to a FOV of the one or more second skeleton recording devices; and based on the identification, notifying, by the processor, the one or more second skeleton recording device to activate corresponding infrared sensors. detecting, by a processor of a monitoring system, the presence of at least one human skeleton in a field of view of a first skeleton recording device from the plurality of recording devices, wherein each of the plurality of skeleton recording devices is connected with a separate monitoring device wherein each of the plurality of skeleton recording devices are placed in an area of surveillance with non-overlapping field of view monitoring the complete area of surveillance; tracking, by the processor, the at least one human skeleton within the FOV of the first skeleton recording device, wherein tracking includes determining a direction of traversal of the at least one human skeleton and extracting skeleton data pertaining to the at least one human skeleton tracked by the first skeleton recording device; transmitting, by the processor, a message to the rest of the plurality of skeleton recording devices, in case of absence of a human skeleton in the field of view of the first skeleton recording device from the plurality of recording devices to switch ON and OFF corresponding infrared sensors in a round robin manner; in case of detection of at least the one human skeleton coming to one of the edges of the field of view of the first recording device; identifying, by the processor, one or more second skeleton recording devices based on the direction of traversal of the at least one human skeleton from the FOV of the first skeleton recording device to a FOV of the one or more second skeleton recording devices; and based on the identification, notifying, by the processor, the one or more second skeleton recording device to activate corresponding infrared sensors.
