NetBotz Gives Customers Affordable, Easy Way to Integrate Legacy CCTVs into the NetBotz Surveillance Solution;
NetBotz Solution Maximizes Customers CCTV Investments

AUSTIN, Texas - October 7, 2003 - NetBotz®, Inc.,the global leader in IP-based intelligent physical security solutions, and recent winner of the Deloitte & Touch Rising Star Award, today announced that analog CCTV data can now be integrated into the NetBotz surveillance solution. This news means that customers can fully leverage their existing investments in proprietary CCTV technology by bringing this visual information into the NetBotz solution, where its advanced digital features, like motion detection, can now be applied.

CCTVs are like silos, capturing visual information that can only be used one way-to display visual data. However, integrating CCTV data into the NetBotz solution means users can now take full advantage of its motion detection, advanced recording and advanced alarming features. All alert and picture data transmitted can be encrypted via SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). Moreover, any CCTV images can be stored and managed enterprise wide by NetBotz Central, a powerful management platform, which manages a company's organization-wide NetBotz appliance deployment as well as all the physical threat data they gather.

CCTV cameras can range from those that watch over locations such as lobbies, retail stores and casino gaming sites to the exotic specialty visual capture devices such as underwater, pinhole, night vision and caustic environment cameras.

The current analog-to-digital conversion method has a number of drawbacks, including cumbersome, expensive and difficult-to-maintain cabling to integrate digital video recorders (DVRs) with CCTV cameras. In addition, DVR storage is typically distributed, making for an inefficient way to manage a company's visual surveillance data.

With more than 2,200 customers, NetBotz provides the leading solution for protection against physical threats-hostile human acts such as physical intrusion and sabotage to dangerous ambient and environmental factors, including noxious gases.
