June 2005 — Present (3 years 5 months)
"Adding Insight to Video Surveillance"
George Orwel's 1984 "Big brother WAS watching" but actually in 2008 he is only recording :-) One could ask: Is today's Human dependant real time monitoring practically useless? If one can't watch one monitoring screen for 1 hour and stay alert, how can we watch 100s of screens for 24/7? My answer is Video Analytics ... My small part in this answer is Mate
