1. A method, comprising:
obtaining characteristic values for an observed event in a scene, the characteristic values including at least one of: a pixel-height value, a pixel-width value, or an x-coordinate and y-coordinate center position of a foreground object,
parsing a plurality of alert directives, the alert directives being previously generated by a behavioral recognition system, to identify a matching alert directive from the plurality of alert directives based on the characteristic values being within a set of at least one pre-defined user-defined alert directive matching criterion, each alert directive from the plurality of alert directives including at least one of a representation of whether a specified behavior should result in an alert, a representation of an alert publication frequency, or a representation specifying that matching to that alert directive is based on at least one of a behavior type or an object type, and
upon identifying the matching alert directive, bypassing an existing alert publication procedure of the behavioral recognition system by one of publishing or not publishing an alert of the observed event in the scene, based on the matching alert directive.
