Ray Davis - Behavioral Recognition Systems (BRS)

Interviewer: Russ Capper | Guest: Ray Davis | Episode: 263 | Date: June 19, 2010

Video surveillance systems can be ineffective because they rely on people to monitor and interpret what the camera sees. Davis has created an artificial neural network, a video system that processes and analyzes what it sees; it observes and determines what is “normal” for an area, based on its own learned behavior. The camera decides when a person or action is out of the norm and then will raise an alarm. Russ interviews Ray Davis, CEO of BRS Labs. His approach may revolutionize the security and surveillance industry—and not a minute too soon!
