Iveda Solutions Launches Online Map Video Consolidation Service

Iveda Solutions (OTCBB: IVDA) announced today the launch of
Pinpoint™, the Company's newest cloud-video hosting service.
Pinpoint is a video management system (VMS) consolidator and online
mapping service that shows location of surveillance cameras on
Google Maps™ or other third party mapping platforms. Through a
single login, users are able to pull live streaming video feeds
from a centralized video management platform. Pinpoint is
completely web-based, accessible from any Flash-enabled browser on
your computer or smartphone.
In collaboration with Pinkerton/Securitas, Iveda Solutions
conducted a successful pilot of Pinpoint at the 2012 G8/NATO
meeting in Chicago. Pinpoint was integrated into Pinkerton's
Vigilance incident & trend data monitoring system, its
cloud-based, 24/7 situational awareness and risk aggregation
service that gathers data and evaluates threats.
Pinpoint is one of its kind. Similar services only show
thumbnail images on an online map, no live video. And unlike
Pinpoint, these services don't have the capability of pulling video
feeds from VMS, only static images from publicly-available
cameras.
Cloud video hosting demonstrates measurable benefits and value
to users. For any business or operation with multiple locations,
access to traditional video systems usually requires separately
logging into multiple systems. With Pinpoint, accessing cameras is
no longer through squares on a computer screen, but through an easy
to use map interface, where you can have visibility of all your
locations through cameras plotted on an online map. Live video of
each location can be accessed by simply clicking on the camera
marker on the map.
Iveda Solutions recently announced its first Pinpoint customer.
Farmacia de Similares in Mexico, will use Pinpoint, along with
IvedaXpress, the Company's plug and play video hosting service, to
access video at their retail stores in Mexico.
"Creative applications for cloud-video hosting, other than
security and safety, have emerged. Our customers are beginning to
realize that it not only saves time, energy, and money, but it also
promotes revenue-generating activities," said David Ly, President
and CEO of Iveda Solutions.
Retail operations are able to conduct secret shopper initiatives
using hosted cameras. Instant shelf inspection for low inventory is
easily accomplished without employees physically present at the
stores. Thus, restocking is accomplished sooner and more products
are sold. Store and endcap display and signage for special
promotions can be virtually inspected at any location, on demand
from a computer or mobile device.
Businesses no longer need a whole new video surveillance system
to gain such benefits. Start with just one hosted camera at each
business location and begin reaping the benefits of managing your
operation more efficiently.
"Our company continues to innovate cloud video surveillance
services that make sense, not only to save them money and provide
them security, but also makes money for them," said Ly.
Iveda Solutions' existing hosting customers can now add this new
functionality to their service subscription.
