Claim One:
1. A video surveillance system comprising: a user interface comprising: a primary camera pane for displaying a primary video data feed captured by a primary video surveillance camera; two or more camera panes in proximity to the primary camera pane, each proximate camera pane for displaying secondary video data feeds captured by one of a set of secondary video surveillance cameras; a tracking module for tracking movement of an object in one of the secondary video data feeds and, based thereon, replacing the primary video data feed in the primary camera pane with the secondary video data feed having the tracked object; and a camera selection module for selecting a new secondary video data feed for display in each of the proximate camera panes based at least in part on a likelihood-of-transition metric, wherein the likelihood-of-transition metric is determined according to steps comprising: (i) defining a set of candidate video data feeds, and (ii) assigning, to each candidate video data feed, an adjacency probability representing a likelihood that an object tracked in the primary camera pane will transition into the candidate video data feed.
