Arecont Vision Megapixel Cameras Provide HD Quality Surveillance at Sheraton Hotel in Kuching, Malaysia

System Offers Superior Image Performance Costing Less Than Analog
GLENDALE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Megapixel IP cameras from Arecont Vision provide detailed, crystal clear images
covering large areas at the new Four Points by Sheraton Hotel in Kuching,
Malaysia, owned by Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc., of White Plains,
N.Y., one of the world's largest hotel companies. The Four Points has recently
installed 139 Arecont Vision cameras, for both live monitoring and to enable
operators to zoom in on the details of live and archived video after an event.

"We chose Arecont Vision's megapixel IP cameras because they provide
multi-streaming capabilities at various video formats, frame rates and
resolutions," said Carl Lee, Area IT Manager, South East Asia, Starwood Hotels.
"The cameras' higher resolutions provide detailed coverage of larger areas,
allowing us to pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) electronically within a larger, detailed
image area, whether live or on recorded video, which eliminates the need for
conventional PTZ cameras. Arecont Vision cameras in areas such as the parking
lots enable us to recognize vehicle color, license plate number and even see the
driver's face."

The new hotel`s system includes 120 Arecont AV1300M 1.3 megapixel cameras, 11
Arecont AV2100M 2 megapixel cameras, and 8 Arecont AV8180 panoramic color
cameras. The cameras are tied into LuxRiot NVR video surveillance software from
A&H Software House, Inc. and are monitored centrally through 12 LCD monitors fed
by seven NVR servers and three video monitoring systems. All of the cameras are
recorded and displayed in real time.

In choosing the Arecont Vision cameras, Mr. Lee considered energy conservation,
low maintenance costs and longer camera lifespan, as well as the improved
security made possible by highly detailed video images that enable operators to
recognize faces. The LuxRiot NVR provides a stable recording and display
platform for high-definition cameras and also was attractively priced, according
to Mr. Lee.

The system was designed and distributed by GSF Solutions Sdn Bhd, the Arecont
Vision authorized distributor for Malaysia, and was installed by United Factor
Alarm Security Network and Consultant, a systems integrator in Kuching, Sarawak,
Malaysia.

"Users all over the world are seeing the clear performance benefits of our
megapixel cameras," said Steven Sarfati, Senior Vice President of International
Sales, Arecont Vision. "Our installation at the Four Points by Sheraton hotel in
Malaysia clearly demonstrates the compelling economic case for megapixel
technology as an alternative to conventional cameras, suggesting strongly that
megapixel cameras are on track to become the industry's primary means of image
capture."

Arecont Vision offers the industry's broadest line of megapixel IP cameras,
including 1.3, 2, 3 and 5 megapixel cameras in color or day/night versions, in
addition to the 8 megapixel panoramic cameras. The company provides megapixel
performance at price points comparable to analog cameras, thus opening a broader
range of applications to the technology. Arecont combines H.264 compression and
a proprietary image processing technology to provide greater compression
efficiency that overcomes concerns about bandwidth and storage implications of
megapixel technology.
