HRS and Vidient Partner to Develop and Promote State-of-the-Art Intelligent CCTV PlatformsHuman Recognition Systems and Vidient Systems, Inc. Announce Partnership to Provide Human Behavioural Analytics and Smart Video Surveillance October 12th, 2007  Human Recognition Systems (HRS), a market leader in developing and delivering solutions which identify people and their behaviours, today announced a partnership with leading video analytics provider Vidient Systems, Inc., to address the growing demand for intelligent video analytics and smart CCTV solutions in a number of target markets including aviation, critical infrastructure, government, retail, finance and banking.
HRS operates across a range of industry sectors and has undertaken significant projects that include Non-Passenger Screening and passenger surveillance solutions using Human Behavioural Analytics at UK airports, a Biometric Information Management System specific to the construction industries and Identity Management Consultancy across the government and private sectors.
Vidient has gained a reputation for proven, reliable video analytics and surveillance solutions through the effective use of its flagship product, Vidient SmartCatch®, in corporate environments, public facilities and major international airports around the world, including San Francisco International, San Diego International, Finavia-Helsinki-Vantaa Airport and Tallahassee (Florida) Regional Airport.
"With our strong capability in developing and deploying solutions for real-world problems and Vidient's proven, superior analytics, we now offer world-class video solutions that address the most pressing security issues facing customers today," said Lee Hannis, Business Development Manager at HRS. "Together, our companies have already engaged a number of compelling opportunities and are confident our partnership will result in major new technology deployments."
The partnership with HRS marks another significant milestone in Vidient's strategy to align with leading systems integrators around the world that specialize in highly complex security environments.
"Partnering with HRS enables us to focus intently on the specific intelligent video analytic needs of major corporations, transportation hubs and public facilities throughout the UK while HRS concentrates on overall installation and deployment issues," said Brooks McChesney, founder and Chief Client Executive of Vidient Systems, Inc. "This is a strong, synergistic relationship that has opened numerous new opportunities for both companies."
HRS and Vidient will bring a wide range of smart surveillance solutions to the market. Smart surveillance systems will automatically distinguish humans and analyse their behaviours against set patterns, alerting security personnel to risks in real-time. The smart surveillance solutions will convert passive CCTV systems into proactive security agents that process and identify suspicious behavior and objects, intelligently alerting proper authorities to people and events which require active response. Combined with the correct processes and policies, smart video surveillance solutions will deliver substantial cost savings and tangible security benefits.
Lee Hannis further noted, "Human behavioural analytics is an area that is developing rapidly and one that HRS has embraced fully due to our understanding of complex identity solutions. Vidient's powerful range of analytics combined with our ability to work closely with clients and integrate large solutions successfully will set standards which will be difficult to match in the industry."
