Digital Ally Rolls with DVM-750 Advanced In-Car Video Systems

Digital Ally, Inc., which develops, manufactures and markets advanced video surveillance products for law enforcement, homeland security and commercial security applications, announced that the final version of its latest, most advanced in-car video system - the DVM-750 - has been released from engineering and delivered to production at the Company's manufacturing facility in Grain Valley, Missouri.

The Company said it plans to begin delivering DVM-750 systems to law enforcement agencies later this month.

The DVM-750 In-Car Video System Integrated into a Rear View Mirror offers the following significant upgrades and enhancements, when compared with the Company's highly successful DVM-500 model:

-- The ability to connect up to four cameras and then select two cameras plus three audio channels for simultaneous recording.

-- Full D1 recording resolution (720 X 480).

-- Built-in monitor (1000 Nits) that is ten times brighter than previous displays. -- Electronic locking door with secure password access.

-- Utilization of the latest h.264 recording codec.

-- The new VoiceVault advanced wireless microphone with industry-first features, including a range of up to one mile and on-board memory that can record audio evidence when the officer is beyond the range of the in-car recording device.

An 8GB card comes standard with the DVM-750, and larger capacity cards are optional to provide longer recording times.

"Although the DVM-750 was originally scheduled for release in the fourth quarter of 2008, we elected to delay production until management was satisfied that the new system was engineered to the highest standards as the most robust, feature-rich, space-efficient, cost-efficient in-car video system in its class on the market," said Stanton E. Ross, Chief Executive Officer of Digital Ally, Inc. "Customers have responded enthusiastically to the DVM-750 and its innovative features. We have a backlog of over $2 million in orders for the new systems that we expect to begin shipping later this month."

The Company also announced that it has been awarded an initial statewide contract for the DVM-750. The name of the state was not disclosed, at the request of the customer. The contract is for a period of twelve months, with two additional twelve-month extensions available if agreeable to both parties. Immediately following the award, the state's Highway Patrol Department placed an initial order for DVM-750 systems. The contract provides that the DVM-750 can be purchased by all city, county and other state law enforcement agencies at the prices stipulated in the contract.

"This is Digital Ally's first statewide contract for the DVM-750, and if the contract is extended over the full three-year period, we believe it could result in cumulative orders totaling in excess of $4 million," continued Ross. "The Company currently has seven statewide contracts for its DVM-500 system."

"Other new products scheduled for introduction in 2009 include the DVM-500Ultra, a waterproof, portable video and audio system designed for police motorcycles, ATV beach patrol units, the U.S. Coast Guard, and marine police agencies; FirstVu, a professional, wearable digital video/audio system with GPS marking features and infrared illumination for low-light operation; VoiceVault, an advanced wireless microphone with a transmission range in excess of one mile, on-board memory, and an 'office down/emergency' call button that provides the GPS location of the officer; and the DVM-250 Pro, an event recorder for mass transportation markets," concluded Ross.
