3VR’S DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING RECEIVES SIA STANDARDS SERVICE AWARD

Tom Faulhaber Recognized for Outstanding Service, Leadership on SIA Standards Subcommittee

ISC EAST, NEW YORK, NY – November 23, 2009 — 3VR Security Inc., the leader in intelligent surveillance and search, today announced that its Director of Engineering, Tom Faulhaber, has received the 2009 Security Industry Association Service Award.

Given to Faulhaber and fellow industry innovator, Video IQ’s Mahesh Saptharishi, this award recognizes two individuals who have provided outstanding service and leadership to the Security Industry Association (SIA) Standards organization through committee work or duties.

Earlier this year, Faulhaber was selected as the chair of a subcommittee with the goal of augmenting SIA’s ANSI Digital Video Interface (DVI) standard for communications and data exchange between smart cameras, DVRs and other security components (ANSI/SIA OSIPS – DVI-01). As chair of the subcommittee, Faulhaber has worked with industry leaders from companies including Cisco Systems, Salient Systems, VideoIQ, Cernium, Pelco, Honeywell and ObjectVideo to establish a standard data format for video analytics technologies used in both physical security systems and DVRs. Already the group has made major strides toward providing vendors, security professionals and businesses with a consistent industry standard to drive further innovation around the application of video analytics in security systems.

“It’s an honor to be recognized by SIA and be at the forefront of developing standards during such a critical period of industry transformation,” said Tom Faulhaber, director of engineering, 3VR. “3VR is dedicated to pursuing open standards and driving innovation in the industry, and we’ll continue to lead the way with analytics-based solutions as the physical security market continues to mature.”

“Tom’s commitment to the industry and the SIA, his chairing of the subcommittee, and general expertise and leadership in video analytics have all been instrumental in the success of the revision effort. We’re tremendously grateful for his service,” said Richard Chace, CEO, SIA. “We’re pleased to honor him for his energy, dedication and leadership in SIA’s standards activities.”

Faulhaber received the award during the SIA Annual Meeting at the ISC East Conference, taking place October 27-29 in New York City, NY
