BRS Labs publicly launched their company in July 2008 with a potentially disruptive new approach to video analytics. Instead of the traditional analysis for specific activities (perimeter violation, loitering, etc), BRS Labs attempts to identify abnormal behavior relative to a given scene. For instance, if a person walking in a parking lot acts differently than the normal person walking in a parking lot, BRS labs would generate an alert. While this has great potential, it also is risky and is in need of further product maturation before it can be a major commercial offering. Read a
review of BRS Labs and an
announcement of $12 Million USD in additional funding.
