CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 11, 2007 - IntelliVid, a leading provider of video intelligence applications for retail loss prevention and store intelligence, today announced Remote Access Collaboration, a new software feature available within its Video Investigator™ solution that dramatically enhances retailers’ remote management capabilities with access to high-level video analytics anywhere, anytime.

The network-based approach allows managers to share critical store intelligence from a remote desktop or laptop via a web-based browser.

“Remote access capabilities are being embraced by a growing number of retail leaders,” according to Dave Gorman, president & CEO of David Gorman & Associates and a former Walmart loss prevention executive. “Effective store security today increasingly depends on the ability to monitor video surveillance in real-time, anywhere, anytime. Remote access allows loss prevention professionals to be more effective and share critical store intelligence wherever they are located.”

Using Remote Access Collaboration, retailers may realize the following benefits:

* Quickly collaborate and share investigations and store intelligence at the store, regional and national level.
* Rapidly access store intelligence through video analytics that speed up the process required to perform the audit.
* Remotely send and receive alarms, view live video and perform rapid forensic searches across multiple cameras simultaneously from any location.
* Remotely monitor and assess key risk indicators to help prioritize those stores that need primary focus, avoiding unnecessary site visits.

IntelliVid’s Video Investigator product line is an open platform, video intelligence application designed exclusively for the retail industry, providing unprecedented capabilities for tracking people, monitoring assets and automating store intelligence alerts and notifications. Video Investigator enables retailers to derive greater real-time intelligence and value from their surveillance systems to reduce theft and optimize store operations.

Video Investigator offers Computer-Aided Tracking ™ (CAT) integrated video analytics with advanced image processing to enable retailers to track moving objects and people across multiple cameras throughout the store, live or forensically. CAT automatically learns the layout of a store and the interrelationships between cameras, and presents the most likely next camera to which a subject may travel, even as he or she crosses into the range of another camera. In addition, Video Article Surveillance™ monitors high-value assets automatically with real-time alerts, while Video Investigation Management™ combines video evidence and investigation notes in a single report for ease of sharing across locations. Beyond this, Point-of-Sale (POS) Accelerator™ provides integrated POS monitoring of transactions that increase security and operational efficiencies, while Asset Search™ allows users to simply highlight a region on screen to instantly determine the last time an asset was moved or removed.

Remote Access Collaboration is available immediately as part of Video Investigator 2.1 licenses for new and existing customers.
