Brickstream Corporation announces OEM Partnership with Human Recognition Systems Ltd.

Brickstream Corporation is pleased to announce that they have signed a reseller agreement with Human Recognition Systems Limited (HRS), which will allow HRS to represent and sell Brickstream's market leading, ClarityTM Video Analytic Appliance

Atlanta, GA - 05th September 2008 - BRICKSTREAM CORPORATION - a leader in intelligent Video Analytics, announces a strategic OEM Reseller Partnership with Human Recognition Systems Ltd. to add the leading Clarity intelligent video analytics appliance to their current people and behaviour monitoring systems.

Brickstream's unique market leading stereo-vision ClarityTM appliance is an IP-addressable appliance that utilises PoE. Clarity is the first, true 'at the edge' intelligent video analytic appliance; requiring no other hardware or software, to cost effectively deliver consistent, reliable and accurate people counting, queuing and tracking data, with real-time alerts and data feeds. Clarity's three-dimensional accuracy levels are far superior to previous solutions which use infra-red, thermal or two-dimensional images, typically delivered by monocular cameras.

HRS will take this technology and work with organisations to understand their customers' behaviour deeply. This understanding will be used to deliver a working solution, integrating components which improve how people move through the physical environment and interact with it - making the experience better and safer for the customer, more profitable for their client.

"Clarity offers partners a proven, extendible and flexible video analytics platform with which to address counting, queuing, service, tracking, and real-time alerting needs." said Steve Jeffrey, Chief Executive of Brickstream.  "We are very excited about the new market opportunity that the partnership with HRS provides."

"Partnering with Brickstream provides us with a real opportunity to be at the forefront of this market, not only in the uniqueness of the solution due to our specific experience and expertise but also the benefits such a system can provide to the everyday operations of a business. Through new and innovative solutions, primarily in the aviation sector, we intend to address the real-life problems and costs of effectively managing people flow and queues.  As air travel grows and the security requirements increase, so the need to have the tools to effectively control and manage passengers becomes even more critical." says Simon Meyer, Chief Operating Officer at HRS.
