Bosch Security Systems Chooses ObjectVideo's Intelligent Video Surveillance Software to Interface with DiBos Digital Video Recorder and Transmission System; Combined Technologies Will Help Customers Enhance Overall Security Efforts.

LAS VEGAS -- ObjectVideo(R), the leader in intelligent video surveillance software, announces today that Bosch Security Systems, Inc., a leading supplier for the security industry, has chosen ObjectVideo VEW(TM) to interface with its recently launched DiBos Digital Video Recorder and Transmission System. The combined technologies will help customers proactively address threats, improve security planning, and enhance their overall effectiveness in security efforts.

Bosch's DiBos, an MPEG-4, PC-based recording system that offers state-of-the-art digital recording and communications technology, will interface with ObjectVideo software, which uses artificial intelligence called "computer vision" to detect, classify, and track potential threats in real time. ObjectVideo's intelligent video analysis algorithms run all objects in a camera's view against pre-programmed rules. When an object violates a rule, for example, a person crosses a virtual tripwire, a small boat loiters next to a ship, or a bag is left unattended in an airport terminal, the software alerts security personnel by phone, pager, email or an alert console. Through the interface, this alert will now trigger recording on Bosch's DiBos system.

"Bosch selected ObjectVideo's technology because the company is one of the leading providers of intelligent video surveillance - from live viewing to forensic applications," said Dr. Christof Ridder, Director of CCTV Systems Product Management for Bosch. "Bosch and ObjectVideo have extensively tested the DiBos/ObjectVideo VEW software combination. Interfacing these products delivers the best of both worlds for all of our customers."

The DiBos system will communicate directly with ObjectVideo VEW systems in a network environment, so customers can:

--Quickly find pre-alarm/event recordings by searching for events in the DVR system

--Instantly access stored and live video from the VEW system

--Stream live video to the console from the camera where an alert has taken place

"ObjectVideo is delighted to be chosen by a security leader like Bosch with an extensive global distribution network. Bosch's sales and marketing efforts will enable the benefits of our combined technologies to reach customers worldwide," said Bruce Thompson, Vice President of Corporate Development for ObjectVideo.

Customers of ObjectVideo's technology include the Department of Homeland Security's Customs and Border Protection Bureau, the Department of Defense, the U.S. Air Force, the Department of Energy, the Port of Jacksonville, Port Everglades, Miami International Airport and a variety of private sector businesses.
