MENLO PARK, Calif., Aug. 4 (UPI) -- SRI International and BRS Labs are partnering to give first responders better communications during emergency situations.
SRI said it is integrating its Aware system with BRS Labs' AISight system to facilitate the rapid distribution of video analytics. The result will be increased situational awareness to assist first responder organizations in real-time during emergency situations.
"Security is evolving from traditional technologies, requiring cutting edge platforms to capture situational awareness," said Ray Davis, chief executive officer of BRS Labs. "The partnering of Aware and BRS Labs' AISight creates a mesh network to provide instant distribution of actionable intelligence across mobile devices."
SRI's Aware system is a portable, wireless network that allows organizations such as public safety agencies to improve response time and enhance security needs during emergency situations.
AISight combines computer vision with machine learning technology to provide actionable intelligence through real-time behavioral patterns.
"AISight takes visual input from a live camera or recorded video, learns what activities and behaviors normally occur within each unique camera's environment and notifies security personnel of unexpected or unusual behaviors with real-time alerts," BRS Labs said in a news release with SRI. "The system is managed and monitored through desktop and browser-based applications, hand-held devices or existing command and control systems and third-party video management systems."
