LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwire - April 2, 2009) - ISC WEST -- Behavioral Recognition Systems, Inc. (BRS Labs) today announced that its AISight™ Cognitive Video Analytics™ software, the first analytics solution that works with all Pan, Tilt, Zoom (PTZ) cameras, was awarded the Security Industry Association's (SIA) New Product Showcase (NPS) Video Analytics award at ISC West. AISight's adaptive-learning capabilities specifically address the challenges of complex video-surveillance environments without rules programming or human training.

"We are honored to receive the SIA award and believe it further validates BRS Labs as an industry thought leader and market innovator, and highlights our accomplishments in Cognitive Video Analytics," said Eric Eaton, CTO of BRS Labs. "BRS Labs' approach to video analytics represents a fundamental change in the industry away from rules-based systems to a cognitive approach to deliver much stronger security with greater scalability and effectiveness."

Until now, video analytic products could control only the positioning of PTZ cameras, because the constant movement of the camera renders rules-based systems ineffective. BRS Labs' AISight Cognitive Video Analytics software takes visual input from the various positions of a PTZ camera; automatically learns and stores what activities and behaviors are normal for each view; and generates real-time alerts that notify appropriate security personnel of potentially threatening abnormal behaviors, all without human involvement or training. AISight requires no pre-programming or extensive setup, so customers can have it up and running on large-scale video surveillance networks in just a few days instead of the months required by other products.

Now celebrating its 30th anniversary, the SIA New Product Showcase recognizes outstanding innovations in the design of electronic security products, systems, and services. This year's competition included 76 entrants. Technologies showcased through this program are used in the protection of life and property in residential, commercial, and institutional settings. The New Product Showcase is a trusted and valued resource for consultants, integrators, and security professionals (corporate or government) on the latest products and technologies available.
