1. A method of tracking at least one target, the method comprising the steps of:
detecting and localizing an incident in a first area using a first sensor system, the first sensor system having a video surveillance system with a network of a plurality of cameras or an acoustic detecting system with a network of microphones;
determining the at least one target to be identified within a plurality of targets associated with the incident in the first area;
tracking the at least one target from the first area to a second area separate from the first area using a second sensor system;
collecting, by first and second wireless packet analyzers, data comprising unique identifiers for the plurality of targets, the first wireless packet analyzer collecting first and second unique identifiers in a first detection area covering the first area and the second wireless packet analyzer collecting the first or second unique identifier in a second detection area covering the second area, each unique identifier collected for each target of the plurality of targets being from a mobile device; and
determining the digital identity of the at least one target in the first area based on a correlation between the tracking of the at least one target to the second area and the first or second unique identifier collected by the second wireless packet analyzer.
