3VR ANNOUNCES INTEGRATION WITH bright blue™ INTELLIGENT ACCESS MANAGEMENT FROM SCHLAGE

New Integration Provides Simple Interface, Searchable Video Capabilities and Greater Overall Value to Small Business Security Customers

San Francisco, CA and Carmel, IN – March 19, 2009 –3VR Security, Inc., the searchable surveillance platform, today announced new integration with Schlage’s bright blue™ intelligent access management software. The solution allows users of bright blue’s Web-based access control system to search and manage video in a new, simple video interface using 3VR’s searchable surveillance technology. The integration furthermore underscores both 3VR and Schlage’s commitment to delivering plug-and-play solutions that support a broad range of common surveillance systems and cameras.

 “This integration is the perfect example of how small and medium sized businesses can maintain a sophisticated security environment without the intense work generally associated with gathering information from separate systems,” said Mitchell Kane, managing director of software & controllers at Schlage. “bright blue gives users the freedom to access their system from anywhere, at any time, and with 3VR they are now able to view, search and analyze associated video, making it an even more powerful access control/CCTV solution.”

Launched in February 2009, bright blue is the first embedded network appliance to give small business owners the ability to access and manage points of entry from the Web. Supporting up to 32 doors and 5,000 cardholders, the system offers an intuitive user interface, simple implementation and compatibility with Schlage Card Readers, VIP & Wireless locks and most common third-party card readers.

3VR combines video analysis, search and intelligent video management in an integrated surveillance solution that prevents fraud and enables efficient investigations. Using the plug-and-play approach, 3VR and bright blue make it possible for business owners and security personnel to quickly and easily find video clips by searching the transactions of persons passing through access control checkpoints. With each card swipe, data is sent directly into the 3VR system, where it is indexed and linked to the associated video. Ideally tailored to small–to-medium sized businesses, the integration features a simple, usable interface, is quick to install and integrates hassle-free with a variety of hardware options, vastly reducing implementation costs.

“3VR’s intelligent video management platform and powerful search technology is a great fit with bright blue’s commitment to advanced, usable and cost-effective access management,” said Al Shipp, CEO at 3VR Security, Inc. “The simplicity of this integration sets it apart, providing our customers the ability to rapidly and seamlessly manage, analyze and search secure data, significantly improving the basic safety and security of their facilities and businesses.”

3VR and Schlage will be demonstrating the new integration at the ISC West Conference in Las Vegas, April 1– 3. Visit 3VR (#12081) or Ingersoll Rand (#20035) and request a demonstration.
