ASIS 2006 Professional Security Conference: New Government and Commercial Video Surveillance Server Unveiled by BroadWare

New Digital Video Encoding and Distribution Server Offers Easy,
Out-of-the-Box Implementation, Scalability and Unprecedented Cost-Effectiveness 

SAN DIEGO, Calif. – September 27, 2006 – BroadWare Technologies, Inc., the leader in distributed digital video surveillance, today announced the BroadWare Encoding Server (BES), a scalable, single-box, appliance-based solution that encodes, distributes, manages and archives digital video feeds for video surveillance and enterprise security applications. This announcement was made today at the ASIS International 2006 professional security conference in San Diego.

BroadWare develops video surveillance systems for commercial businesses and government organizations of every type, including corporate buildings, retail store chains, hotels and hospitality, airports and seaports, railroads and light rail, highways and bridges, casinos and sports venues, gas and energy plants, manufacturing buildings, municipal and state facilities, sensitive federal government installations and remote military assets.

“This new video server solution from BroadWare greatly simplifies the integration of building-wide, campus-wide and enterprise-wide video surveillance,” said Bill Stuntz, CEO of BroadWare Technologies. “It’s a perfect retrofit solution that lowers the total cost of ownership of video surveillance and provides a system component that can stand alone or be scaled into a larger system as customer needs evolve.”

BES includes up to 64 channels of video, 16 alarm inputs, PTZ control and up to six terabytes of internal storage. Multiple BES servers can be combined to accommodate additional channels and scale to support massive enterprise video applications. BES offers the power and flexibility to meet a diverse range of video surveillance requirements including single- building facilities, campuses or multi-geographic facilities such as retail store chains. Government and commercial facilities can now combine different video codecs, including MJPEG and MPEG-4, into a single BroadWare system to leverage the advantages of each. Bandwidth can be managed within each portion of an IT network to optimize capacity and protect other applications.


When integrated with the BroadWare Application Server, the BroadWare Encoding Server gives administrators and operators multiple Web-based consoles to configure, manage, display and control many sources of video. These cost-effective BroadWare solutions enable versatile, streamlined video management and unlimited scalability of cameras and viewers.

Other key benefits of the BroadWare Encoding Server include:

1) Highly cost-effective, out-of-the-box solutions that can be easily and quickly deployed
2) Open-architecture design with flexibility to support a wide array of cameras
3) MJPEG and MPEG-4 formats can be encoded simultaneously
4) Low-latency video and high-quality images delivered to security personnel
5) Motion detection capability with supported cameras
6) Scalability to unlimited sites, cameras, users, and storage systems
7) Efficient, redundant multi-site archiving that conserves bandwidth
8) Loop and event-based video recording and clipping capabilities
9) Options for external storage and support for nextwork-connected cameras

BES will become generally available on October 16, 2006. More details will be posted at www.BroadWare.com/products
