A surveillance system may comprise one or more computing devices and one or more robotic surveillance devices. The one or more computing devices may be configured to obtain video data captured by one or more cameras. The one or more computing devices may analyze the video data to determine whether there is any trigger event. In response to determining that there is a trigger event, the one or more computing device may determine an optimal robotic surveillance device among the one or more robotic surveillance devices based on the trigger event and provide an instruction to the optimal robotic surveillance device. The optimal robotic surveillance device may be configured to perform a responding action in response to receiving the instruction.
