AXCESS Inc. Shipping LANcam Digital Network Cameras; Network Camera Provides Realtime CCTV Surveillance.

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 20, 1999--

AXCESS Inc. (Nasdaq:AXSI) announced today that it is in full production, fulfilling orders for its LANcam network digital video camera recently released at the September ASIS Annual Seminar and Exhibits in Las Vegas.

The LANcam connects directly to the corporate LAN or the Internet so remote or local sites can be viewed by any authorized Windows pc connected to the network within the enterprise or worldwide (web). The LANcam uses its own TCP/IP connection (or IP address) so it easily installs onto existing company networks. The camera comes with free viewing software for set-up and simple viewing applications.

"This rollout is an important milestone in the company's new plan. The LANcam is the perfect solution for corporations because the LAN/WAN network can now be used cost effectively to extend the reach of CCTV. With our low-bandwidth video compression technology, the performance impact on the network is minimal as a camera will typically only consume the equivalent bandwidth of a single ISDN circuit. Our customers appreciate the significant cost savings and easy implementation," stated Allan Griebenow, AXCESS' president and ceo.

The camera, just 6 inches long, comes in a standard security form factor for both installation and interchanging C(/CS)-mount lenses. The compression and (10/100baseT) Ethernet local area network (LAN) cards are built-in for a direct RJ-45 connection to CAT5 cable. In addition, a BNC analog output connection is provided for simultaneous video transmission over coax. Other features include: a unique bandwidth throttle to dynamically tune the video frame rate and bandwidth consumption; black and white options; and alarm input and output control relays.

In addition to a complete line of digital CCTV offerings, AXCESS provides active RFID systems for people, asset and vehicle tracking, and access control. AXCESS also offers an integrated asset management solution utilizing automatic video recording tied to RFID reads for validating events.
