Boch Automotive Rolls out Intransa Surveillance Solution

Leading Auto Dealer Cuts Risk of Theft and Loss, Increases Service Levels
SAN JOSE, Calif. & NORWOOD, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
Intransa, the leader in video data management and retention solutions for
physical security, today announced it has been selected by Boch Automotive, a
leading northeast automotive group, to upgrade the company`s surveillance
systems.

Boch Automotive is a premier automotive group, dedicated to providing
exceptional sales and service. As the number one Toyota dealer in New England as
well as the region`s only Subaru, Ferrari and Maserati distributorship, and the
number one Honda dealer in the United States, Boch has a complex and extremely
valuable retail inventory to protect, in addition to customers, personnel, parts
and facilities.

"With one comprehensive solution, we were able to immediately address the
growing risk of theft and loss, while providing increased coverage, improved
image quality, longer retention times and greater reliability," said Ernie Boch,
Jr., CEO and president of Boch Enterprises. "We`ve also been able to drive
better accuracy for investigations and claims, while delivering tangible
business value."

Prior to upgrading to the surveillance system, architected and installed by
CC-Teknologies with Intransa video retention, Milestone Systems video management
system, and Arecont Vision IP cameras, Boch`s analog CCTV surveillance systems
were no longer able to meet the demands of the high profile automotive group.

In the past, the company had experienced the theft of costly vehicle parts,
components and accessories and that, in addition to the volume of vehicular and
pedestrian traffic on the Boch lots, required a deeper look at minor collisions
and other personal claims. The existing analog cameras delivered sparse
coverage, fuzzy images, and had limited retention capacity for video analytics
and incident replay. Reliability issues of the DVRs used in the CCTV systems
also proved to be a growing challenge for Boch.

Integrator CC-Teknologies, a member of the Intransa StorPartner program,
provided a complete, cost-effective solution which supports the new Ferrari
store as well as the existing Toyota, Subaru, Rentals and New To You locations
in Norwood, MA and Honda and Toyota South in North Attleboro, MA.

To improve video coverage and image quality, CC-Teknologies installed over one
hundred Arecont Vision 5 megapixel and Arecont Vision 180 Degree megapixel IP
cameras, supported by Intransa video data management and retention platforms
with an initial capacity of 142 terabytes (TB). A standalone network designed
and implemented by CC-Teknologies using Bosch Fibre Optic modules supports the
deployment. The Milestone XProtect Enterprise video management system, running
on four commodity platforms with eight VMware virtual servers, provides a new
level of video management and control to meet Boch`s needs for both live stream
monitoring and video archiving capabilities. Milestone Systems, Arecont Vision
and Bosch products are among the more than 150 physical security, imaging, and
technology solutions that have been certified for risk-free integration by the
Intransa StorAlliance Technology Labs.

Three Intransa video data management and systems each provide 39TB of non-stop
video retention and instant playback for Boch, while a fourth provides 25TB. The
Intransa retention systems can be further expanded modularly when needed,
without halting recording, to meet Boch`s future requirements for increased
recording capacity for additional IP cameras, extended video retention periods
or support for new applications.

The fault-resilient Intransa video retention platforms deliver advanced RAID
protection to eliminate the risk of lost video that plagued the original CCTV
environment. Hot-swap technology further ensures non-stop recording, with
unattended operation supported by email alerts. The Intransa platforms also
eliminate the need for ongoing administration or scheduled downtime for
maintenance.

Access to the surveillance solution`s live and recorded video as well as to
system management tasks can be performed as needed from any authorized location
with network access, providing increased flexibility and reduced administration
for Boch.

A more detailed description of the Boch Automotive solution can also be
downloaded from the Intransa case study library online.

Later this week at ISC West, attendees can see Intransa video data management
and retention solutions integrated with solutions from several StorAlliance
members throughout the show floor. These include AMAG Technology, Inc. (booth
14097), Exacq Technologies (booth 24135), JDS Digital Video (booth 18135),
Milestone Systems (booth 10064) and Time Sight Systems (booth 8054).

VIDEOProtein and Veracity share the Intransa booth, 8129, which includes three
hands-on demos - a Smart CCTV DVR Upgrade with a major brand DVR, a Smart All-IP
Surveillance Solution integrated with Milestone Enterprise XProtect VMS, and a
Smart Hybrid Solution simultaneously supporting another major brand DVR as well
as VIDEOProtein 3.0 VMS.

The exposition is open Wednesday, April 1st through Friday, April 3rd at the
Sands Expo and Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV. To pre-schedule an appointment
