1. A method for monitoring a surveillance system of a facility having a plurality of surveillance devices including one or more access control devices, one or more intrusion detection devices and a plurality of video surveillance cameras, the method comprising:
receiving a selection of one of the plurality of video surveillance cameras;
receiving a video data stream captured by the selected video surveillance camera, wherein the selected video surveillance camera has a field of view that includes a corresponding monitored region of the facility;
a first user interface device of a first virtual reality headset displaying:
the video data stream to a first user; and
a status of one or more of the plurality of surveillance devices;
the first user interface device receiving a first user input corresponding to a movement of at least part of the first user's body;
the first user interface device simulating the first user navigating the monitored region from within the monitored region by adjusting a presentation of the video data stream received from the surveillance camera in the monitored region in response to the first user input;
a second user interface device, remote from the first user interface device, displaying:
at least part of the video data stream that is displayed on the first user interface device presented from the same perspective as the video data stream is presented on the first user interface device, resulting in a common scene; and
the status of the one or more of the plurality of surveillance devices; and
the first user interface device transmitting and receiving audio communication signals to and from the second user interface device to allow the first user of the first user interface device and a second user of the second user interface device to investigate a security incident captured by the surveillance system by collaboratively discussing events observed in the common scene.
