IBM: Smart Surveillance Systems
Enterprise Security Today article
IBM Corp. hopes to capitalize on the enormous growth in video surveillance by selling technology from its research labs that performs real-time analysis on footage captured by security cameras in stores and sensitive locales.
This could be a real improvement in security surveillance deployment. I can imagine systems with "rules" written to send an alert to a live person monitoring several cameras if the system detects something suspicious, just like a network IDS sensor. More cameras could then be monitored per person, theoretically.
