A number of particle streams with heliocentric orbits pass through the near-Earth space. Approximately half of them belong to meteor and fireball streams, and the rest are considered to be sporadical. As the periods of revolution of the Earth and the streams around the Sun are not divisible, and the distribution of particles inside the streams is not homogeneous, there are annual variations of their activity. The goal of the proposed investigations is to obtain from observations the spatial parameters of the streams of tiny particles crossing the Earth's orbit. For this purpose it is proposed to make simultaneous monitoring of meteor events from near-by observation sites and from sites separated by more than one thousand kilometres. These observations are supposed to be accompanied by simultaneous telescope observations. At the Kosmoten Observatory (Northern Caucasus) a hybrid TV-camera with CCD is used for meteor observations. The limiting magnitude of the camera is good enough to detect meteors with brightness +5(m) in the 52(°) field. Since July 2002 meteor observations are done every clear night. In the future it is planned to begin stereo (basis) TV-observation with the aim to determinate individual orbits of observed meteors and their physical densities.
