EYECAST Releases Full Motion Streaming Media Service

EYECAST Corporation announced EyeView 6.0. Available immediately, the EyeView 6.0 streaming media service is based on MPEG-4 standards and incorporates proprietary streaming technology that runs 30 times faster than earlier versions at 30 frames per second. EyeView products deliver secure access to video content from any computer linked to the Internet for business applications such as remote merchandising, marketing, visual collaboration, security, loss prevention, and asset management. 

"EyeView 6.0 is a major advancement in our technology because it allows for a higher quality viewing experience regardless of your Internet connection speed," said Shaun Amini, founder and CEO of EYECAST. "Businesses in the retail, hospitality, telecommunications, and financial industries can use EyeView for immediate, visual access to any of their locations, from anywhere in the world, at anytime over the Internet." 

EyeView 6.0 is designed to maintain the integrity of the video even during a network or circuit failure because of its redundant storage capabilities located on and off-site. The service can also leverage a much smaller network connection, such as a Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) line, for video content acquisition. Less bandwidth requirements and faster frame rates give customers more options to choose from while also increasing the viewing experience and marketing applications, while decreasing the installation time of the EyeView service.

"Retailers can now provide marketing personnel with valuable real-time information by allowing them access to the video feeds from in-store cameras piped directly to their desktops," said Andrew Johnson, a vice president at Gartner Dataquest. "Gartner Dataquest believes retailers should strongly consider the use of in-store video feeds as management and marketing tools." 

Similar to EyeView 5.0, which is based on motion JPEG technology, EyeView 6.0 offers pan, tilt, and zoom capabilities. Users can remotely control cameras from any location via a standard Web browser; share video simultaneously with authorized users, and digitally store and archive video for an unlimited amount of time off-site at EYECAST's video warehouse. EYECAST also offers customers 24x7 network monitoring to help ensure their video is always available at any time, from any location. EyeView provides a scalable and highly reliable streaming video service based on the IBM Mainframe platform providing 99.999 percent uptime. 

EyeView 6.0 is available immediately and is currently being deployed at various locations throughout the country. Monthly pricing ranges from $50 to $200 per camera, depending on the frame rate, storage length and total number of cameras.
