[May 11, 2010] BEI Security and HeiTel Form Strategic Partnership Tweet (Market Wire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) HOUSTON, TX -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 05/11/10 -- BEI Security Interactive Remote Surveillance, a nationwide business security video monitoring and surveillance service featuring real-time video with two-way audio and staffed with off-duty and/or retired police officers, and HeiTel, an industry leader for video gateway technology, have entered into a strategic partnership to offer security dealers a solution to monitor legacy video hardware, protecting customer investments and providing additional sources of reoccurring monthly revenue (RMR) opportunities for dealers. BEI Security Interactive Remote Surveillance has worked with HeiTel to build a seamless integration into BEI's security command center. The concept is simple, connect legacy CCTV systems into the HeiTel Video Gateway and then BEI Security Interactive Remote Surveillance monitors these systems. "BEI Security Interactive Remote Surveillance is now able to offer surveillance services with no limits. They are able to break through the obstacles of obtaining RMR from legacy CCTV system without expensive integrations. Video Intervention is now available with any type of DVR or CCTV system," said Dirk Ostermann, CEO, HeiTel. The integration delivers alarm and pre-alarm images from any existing CCTV systems without interfacing to the existing DVR or VCR. The HeiTel Video Gateway is designed to use existing DSL, 3G or even POTS lines to create an auto connect back to BEI Security Interactive Remote Surveillance command center. This auto connect functionality is called HTconnect and allows installers the ability to quickly bring an account online without the need to change firewall settings on the customer site or producing inbound traffic to the customer network. "We are excited to be working with HeiTel to offer our nationwide security dealer network an innovative solution for their customers to extend the investment in existing legacy equipment. By integrating with the HeiTel Video Gateway, customers then have a controlled path for upgrading their security equipment to the latest and greatest IP standards while protecting their budgets," said Bill Elliot, Vice President of BEI Security. The HeiTel Video Gateway offers are a range of valuable add-ons including iPhone or Smartphone access to all connected cameras, two way audio, technical alerts for cameras out of focus, out of position or tampering.
