1. A system for storage and bandwidth reduction of visual events in association with an activity comprising:
at least one visual event detector having at least one camera that acquires images of the activity, at least one processor receiving the images and a visual event detection process operating at least in part on the processor that processes the images;
a queuing process that identifies the visual events from the at least one visual event detector and stores the visual events; and
a communications process that enables a reduced-bandwidth communications channel adapted to transmit the stored visual events in a reduced-bandwidth and queued format to a remote location,
wherein the visual events comprise activities related to at least one of bridge operations, and safety operations with respect to a vessel, and wherein the visual events are based upon software-based event detectors and hardware-based event detectors that identify predetermined characteristics within one or more of the images and determine a state based upon the characteristics.
