Scallop Imaging Seven Megapixel, 180 Degree Field of View, HD Digital Surveillance Cameras Integrated With exacqVision

BOSTON and INDIANAPOLIS, March 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Scallop Imaging, the
leader in high resolution, digital video camera technology, today announced the
integration of its award winning IP Digital Window(TM) D7-180 cameras with Exacq
Technologies’ exacqVision® VMS (Video Management System) v4.6. The integrated
system significantly reduces the costs and complexity of surveillance camera
systems, and enables remote, high-resolution viewing on smart phones and
tablets.

“Exacq Technologies provides an innovative VMS complement to Scallop Imaging’s
unique and immensely powerful IP surveillance cameras,” said Peter Jones,
President of Scallop Imaging. “The combination of exacqVision and D7-180 cameras
is ideal for discretely monitoring large and active areas such as airports with
fewer cameras, and easily integrates with existing analog and IP camera
networks.”

The Digital Window D7-180 seven megapixel digital camera distributes the imaging
task across multiple, small, image sensors, processing over 100 megapixels per
second to calibrate, synchronize and merge together video in real time. The
result is two simultaneous video streams: one 720p HD stream divided into a true
180 degree, non-fisheye, situational awareness window at 15 frames per second,
plus up to four instantly repositionable zoom windows at full scene megapixel
resolution at 15 fps; and full resolution capture of all seven megapixels at one
fps.

The D7-180 camera also features Power over Ethernet (PoE) and H.264 video
compression, at a price comparable to three fixed megapixel wide-angle cameras.
The camera’s small footprint and undistorted field of view are unique in the
surveillance industry. Unlike conventional cameras that employ de-warping
techniques the D7 offers a seamless situational awareness window comprised of
images captured by five (5) 1.3 megapixel sensors.

“exacqVision is a small footprint, powerful VMS, and can utilize Scallop
Imaging’s D7-180 camera features, including high-resolution mode, providing
customers with an inexpensive surveillance video platform,” said Dan Rittman, VP
of Engineering, Exacq Technologies. “The integrated system runs natively on
Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows platforms, can be centrally managed and controlled,
and works with leading access control, retail analytics, iSCSI storage, wireless
networking, and video analytics systems.”

exacqVision VMS creates an advanced security solution, providing recording of
the latest, state-of-the-art IP video surveillance cameras. The powerful, yet
easy-to-operate client user interface installs on any standard computer running
Windows, Linux or Mac OS X and can connect to multiple exacqVision Hybrid
(analog and IP cameras) and IP Camera Servers creating a virtually unlimited
amount of cameras and protection. Video from all exacqVision systems can also be
accessed with web browsers and mobile devices with access to the Internet.
exacqVision VMS v4.6 will be available in April 2011.
