1. A method for providing emergency support by an emergency support system installed in a light pole, the method comprising:
recording, by a sensor of the emergency support system, sample data in a buffer, wherein the sample data indicates whether motion is detected at each sample time;
determining a degree of motion activity based on the sample data;
comparing the degree of motion activity to a threshold to determine an occurrence of an anomalous motion event; and
transmitting to a base station data indicating the occurrence of the anomalous motion event, wherein the base station is capable of:
communicating with a plurality of other emergency support systems installed in respective light poles, each of the other emergency support systems being configured to record respective sample data;
identifying a subset of the at least one of the other emergency support systems based on the proximity relative to the emergency support system; and
in response to the base station receiving the data indicating the occurrence of the anomalous motion event, transmitting an instruction to the subset to upload the respective sample data associated with the subset.
