Las Vegas, NV - ISC West (April 7, 2006) - ObjectVideo®, the leader in intelligent video, announced today its partnership with Western DataCom, a leader in the design and manufacture of communications equipment for security. Western DataCom has just launched the IVS PC/104 Intelligent Video Server Card, incorporating ObjectVideo OnBoard™ intelligent analytic software and designed specifically for the Cisco Systems 3200 Series Wireless Mobile Router. Additionally, the Western DataCom IVS PC/104 Intelligent Video Server Card has met the Cisco Technology Developer Program test criteria for interoperability with the Cisco 3200 Series Wireless Mobile Router.

Western DataCom’s IVS PC/104 card, is powered by a Mango DSP multimedia platform (www.mangodsp.com) and fully supports all intelligent functionality of ObjectVideo OnBoard, which detects, classifies and tracks objects in a video surveillance application, and generates real time alerts if any object violates rules established by the end user.

The events detected by ObjectVideo OnBoard not only provide real-time alert notification, but also can be used to dynamically manage the distribution and quality of digital video streamed from the router. This allows customers to maximize the use of multiple intelligence applications, while minimizing the bandwidth burden placed on their network by the use of real-time video.

“This technology has gone from concept to market in six short months, providing an ideal solution for customers who needed to secure areas or perimeters where running cable and wire is not possible,” said Brian Eckert, vice president of sales & marketing for ObjectVideo. “The demand for this product is high and we are pleased it is now available through Western DataCom.”

The combined technologies will help customers proactively address threats, improve security planning, and enhance their overall effectiveness in security efforts.

“Bringing ObjectVideo OnBoard technology onto the IVS PC/104 enables us to offer a product today, that will meet the demands of those who understand the value of intelligence on the router to bring video where needed for swift action,” said Phil Ardire, president of Western DataCom.

“We understand the growing need for innovative and effective security solutions,” said Dr. Hugo Vliegen, senior manager—market development for Cisco. “Cisco Systems is driving an ecosystem around intelligent video for the 3200 Series Wireless Router to ensure our customers have leading edge networked surveillance and monitoring solutions. This ObjectVideo OnBoard-equipped product from Western DataCom is a strong example of companies coming together to take advantage of the strengths of the Cisco 3200 Series - Cisco IOS, security, high performance and Mobile IP on a rugged mobile and wireless platform in response to market requirements.”

The Cisco Technology Developer Program sets criteria for interoperability testing and helps leading product and services firms to deploy innovative business solutions. The program provides enterprise or service provider customers with information regarding Cisco Technology Developer Partner products and services that the Cisco Technology Developer Partner believes meet the program’s criteria for interoperability with Cisco networking technology.
