Iveda Solutions Seals $1.3 Million Deal With New Taipei City for New Year
MESA, AZ, Dec 20, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Iveda Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB: IVDA), the pioneer in cloud video
surveillance services, is pleased to announce that its Taiwan-based
subsidiary MEGAsys has just won approximately US$1.3 million (NT$
38,890,000) contract from the New Taipei City, Taiwan government to
further assist that major metropolitan area's police department.
This new contract will start immediately and expected to be completed
in July 2013.
In 2011, MEGAsys and Iveda Solutions, under their SafeCiti(R)
program, engineered New Taipei City's state-of-the-art, centrally
managed video surveillance network for the department.
MEGAsys' Chairman I.H. Shiau viewed this new contract as "a
tremendous vote of confidence in Iveda Solutions' SafeCiti approach.
I am humbled that my home, New Taipei City, has led the way in
adopting this cutting edge approach."
"There is not a city in the world that could not improve its security
with Iveda Solutions' SafeCiti program, and we are pleased that New
Taipei City officials recognize that. With taxpayer dollars limited
all over the world, our cloud-based video surveillance systems offer
communities both large and small, the most possible bang for the
buck," said Iveda Solutions' President and CEO David Ly.
In the SafeCiti project completed for New Taipei City last year,
Iveda Solutions and MEGAsys set up an extensive network for remote
video surveillance monitoring of vehicle and foot traffic, other
public areas and sensitive installations -- providing feeds to 16
department branches and 157 sub-stations to enable police to more
efficiently deploy their resources.
An additional US$2.2 million expansion to the SafeCiti project, which
started the beginning of this year, is in its completion phase. The
system provides easy-to-use tools for law enforcement personnel to
access both live and archived video on-demand throughout the
department's jurisdiction. The project included integration of
existing cameras with new cameras enabling the city to build upon,
rather than scrapping its existing camera deployments. The effort
covered the Wugu, Sanchong, Tamsui, Luzhou, Tucheng, Xindian,
Xinzhuang, Ruifang, Linkou District areas. MEGAsys created a secure
private cloud to centrally manage the system.
Iveda Solutions and MEGAsys designed this system to be capable of
incorporating many thousands of cameras as needed. The new project
just announced represents an expansion of the current New Taipei City
network in the Linkou District -- and will integrate approximately
227 new cameras and fiber network with the existing system.
This new project will be overseen by the city's Land Administration
Department on behalf of the police department.
"We are honored that New Taipei City views our SafeCiti approach as
the way to meet their needs and look forward to assisting them with
the challenges that the future may hold," Ly concluded.
