Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

RA'ANANA, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 26, 2003

NICE Systems (Nasdaq:NICE), a worldwide leader of multimedia recording solutions, applications and related professional services for business interaction management, today announced that Anixter Inc. has selected the NiceVision(R) Pro digital video and audio recording solution for its new 135,000 square foot headquarters in Glenview, IL.

Anixter, the world's leading distributor of communications products, has been a distributor of the NiceVision digital recording solution since October 2002.

Anixter's new CCTV system, designed to provide security for personnel and property, includes camera coverage for entrances and exits, lobbies and pathways, as well as external cameras to fully monitor grounds around its headquarters complex. Plans call for integration of the CCTV system with access control for more than 40 doors, and for the external camera output to be monitored off-site by a third-party through a WAN connection.

Pete Lockhart, vice president of technology for Anixter, is overseeing system installation. "Building security for our extensive data base and computer system -- one of the largest in the industry -- was a top priority," he pointed out. "We've designed a system that has a high level of integration and will be tied together with our own Closed Circuit Twisted Pair (CCTP) camera system. NiceVision was the only product out there that came close to meeting all our needs in terms of system functionality, as well as our demands for high-level integration."

CCTP is the first-ever video surveillance system to run video, power and control signals over a single, Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable. The benefits of CCTP are many, according to Lockhart. The most noteworthy include accommodation of technology advances such as digital integration, IP-based networks and power over Ethernet. Costs related to moves, adds and changes are significantly reduced with CCTP, it exceeds Cat6 performance and can be used with an existing copper or fiber backbone.

Jacob Fox, vice president and general manager for NiceVision, the Americas, commented, "We appreciate our relationship with Anixter very much. I believe they are the first distributor to install the NiceVision solution in their own facility. We're very pleased to be a major part of their security and their plans to create a showcase for their innovative CCTP system."
