Abstract Nowadays, video surveillance is a very common practice in Smart Cities. There are public and private video surveillance systems, and very often different systems or single devices frame the same area. However, when a target needs to be identified or needs to be tracked in real-time, such solutions typically require human intervention to configure the devices in the best possible way (e.g., choosing the optimal cameras, setting up their focus, and so on). To address such a problem, in this paper, we define a new interrogation method based on a Federated Edge approach. This approach addresses the problem from the point of view of both camera hardware and shooting angle associated with it. According to the presented approach, it is possible to understand which the best camera to identify a target and possibly tracking it in a specific area is. A case study is defined in the context of urban mobility management.
