TimeSight Systems™ Wins ASIS Accolade for Unique Approach to Security First to Automate Video Lifecycle Management

MT. LAUREL, NJ, September 10, 2009 - TimeSight™ Systems, the industry leader in the practice of video lifecycle management (VLM), today announced it has won an ASIS Accolade for its “Unique Approach to Security.” The award from “Security’s Best Competition” will be presented at ASIS International September 21-24 at the Anaheim, California Convention Center. TimeSight is being recognized for its industry-changing technology: the only intelligent network video recorder (NVR) software to provide automated VLM capability. VLM is the practice of reducing the size of stored video over time, according to business rules, as the video ages and becomes less relevant. The result is massive storage savings. 

“Our VLM solutions are a powerful answer to the video surveillance market’s need to capture megapixel-quality information and retain it longer in a smaller storage footprint,” said Charles Foley, chairman and CEO, TimeSight Systems. “It is an honor to be noticed by the judges of this award and by the industry’s most prestigious association – ASIS - for our truly winning technology.”

TimeSight’s use of VLM through dynamic H.264 compression, along with its exclusive Motion Optimized Recording (MORe), makes higher resolution analog and IP solutions even more effective and affordable.  Motion Optimized Recording (MORe) applies specific resolution, frame rate, and retention policies to motion and non-motion video, enabling users to store all video footage on less storage than riskier “Record On Motion” only techniques.   In addition, TimeSight’s Analog Camera Environment (ACe) feature brings plug-n-play capability for existing analog cameras into an NVR, with better image quality and longer retention than currently possible on most DVRs, in a small, economical footprint. This new intelligent encoding feature converts video streams from legacy analog cameras into fully digitized network video streams leveraging surveillance-optimized H.264 digital video format. ACe technology allows users with a significant investment in analog CCTV systems to migrate into a fully functional IP based video network and benefit from the practice of VLM.

“With the continued growth in the IP surveillance market, and the increasing resolution curve from today’s newer camera technologies, storage continues to be an area of concern and interest for enterprise surveillance users,” said Simon Harris, senior research director, IMS Research. “The introduction of VLM addresses these concerns, and should allow for greater coverage and increasing quality of video data when compared to standard compression techniques without creating unnecessary strain on budgets and infrastructure.”

TimeSight also won the Security Industry Association’s prestigious New Product Showcase “Best Video Device” award at ISC West 2009 in Las Vegas, providing further strong validation that its VLM solutions are both valuable and needed by demanding users of video surveillance.
