Burnaby, British Columbia - Tuesday, May 30,
2006 - Viscount Systems Inc. (OTCBB - VSYS.OB) announced
today that company integrator BEST Monitoring Ltd. of
the Bronx, New York, has MESH™ systems
booked for 16 separate high rise buildings in New York.
BEST Monitoring Ltd has been providing a remote monitoring
service, Cyberdoorman, for apartment buildings since
2001. As of December 2005, we have now incorporated
the MESH™ touch screen telephone entry
panel as a part of the service. Currently the MESH™
panel is contracted in 16 buildings throughout the five
boroughs of New York, with buildings in Chelsea, Tribeca,
the Upper West Side, Harlem, the Financial District,
the Flatiron District, Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, Hastings
on Hudson and Williamsburg. Cyberdoorman has recently
been profiled in both the New York Sun and the New York
Times.
"The way BEST Monitoring has integrated
MESH™ into Cyberdoorman shows the inherent
benefits of the technology as security migrates to a
more IT and centralized approach," noted Stephen Pineau,
President and CEO of Viscount. "BEST has found a powerful
way to replace the cost of on-site security with remote
management. We are now developing additional web based
software applications to make these benefits even more
pervasive. BEST Monitoring truly understands how the
newest security technologies are disrupting traditional
markets and Cyberdoorman will be a big winner."
"The MESH™ panel has proven
to be a great vehicle for seamless audio communication
for visitors at the building to our remote monitoring
facility. The stored data of the transmission of each
call is a valuable asset which will be useful in the
event that the security of an entry point has been compromised,"
stated Seth Barcus of BEST Monitoring.
"In addition to the benefits that we as
a vendor have seen, the benefits to the residents are
also prevalent. With the factory installed access system
that the MESH™ panel comes equipped with,
residents now have the built in luxury of card readers
and access control at a fraction of the cost of a traditional
access system. At the very minimum, a card reader can
be mounted at the main entry to the building and residents
can use a keytag that they can have on their keychain
and wave within inches of the card reader to gain entry
to the building. This is a built in access system, ready
to be used if desired. In summation, the MESH™
panel has become a modern, cost effective solution for
building security, entry and access that at this point
is unparalleled in the industry. With MESH™,
Viscount has truly turned the corner and brought a new
level of quality regarding the integration of entry
systems in the security industry today."
