WVSN:Challenges&designspace
RULE 1: dont miss important events! RULE 2: high-quality not necessary good! RULE 3: dont put all your eggs in the same basket!

Provide Quality of Service: reliability, availability, multi-resolution Take into account the needs of the applications! Multi-views for scene disambiguation, heterogeneity and multi-tiers organization

With scalar sensors, events position determines the set of active sensor. Not true anymore with video sensors Coverage is more complex, determination of which sensor to wake up is not trivial as pan-tilt-zoom features increase the number of eligible sensor nodes
