Largest Security Industry Buying Cooperative to Add Network-Based Video Surveillance and RFID System Solutions for its Members

AXCESS International Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: AXSI) announced today it has become a supplier to PSA Security Network, the world's largest buying cooperative in the security industry, whose members are responsible for over $1 billion in annual installations. AXCESS will provide video surveillance, access control, and asset protection systems to the member companies based upon its leading edge network-based, streaming video and radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies. AXCESS' technologies extend the typical security network while improving its productivity and effectiveness.

PSA member companies are an elite group of independently owned, engineered security systems specialists who design and install some of the most sophisticated electronic security system utilizing video surveillance, access control and biometrics. There are over 100 companies in the network represented by over 1,100 staffed technicians who design, test, install, and maintain security systems in the US, Canada, Mexico and Latin America.

"AXCESS offers solutions in the high demand applications of CCTV, access control, and asset protection. Our industry now sees network-based solutions in CCTV and the use of RFID as key automating technologies for improving a given security network by making it more effective and easy to expand without increasing security personnel," said Bill Bozeman, President of PSA Security Network. "Providing timely, leading edge products to our members is an important role for PSA and we look forward to working with AXCESS."

"PSA has a heritage of providing select, quality, leading edge products to its members so they can deliver the best available security system to fit the need," said Allan Griebenow, President and CEO of AXCESS. "Their membership includes the type of security system integrator our company is designed to support and we are very pleased to have the opportunity to supply them best of breed solutions."

The AXCESS systems enable automated surveillance, monitoring, and control of personnel, vehicles, and assets. The RFID ActiveTag(TM) tagging solutions provide economic and reliable automatic identification of people, vehicles, and assets, improving the security and throughput for building access, at gated areas, as well as securing critical IT assets. For "hands-free," high speed personnel access control, current proximity-based I.D. cards can be retro-fitted with the AXCESS solution by attaching the card to a "docking" tag which adds transmit range and tracking capabilities and doesn't require a card to be presented by the holder to gain access. Alternatively, a stand-alone long range ActiveTag(TM) credential can be used. Vehicles are tagged to provide secure, automatic access to gated areas such as parking facilities, again removing the requirement to present a credential or enter an access code. Assets are tagged for automatic location and identification, and are automatically protected from unauthorized removal from a secured area or from a facility. Personnel, vehicle, and asset tags can all be linked to provide an additional level of security.

AXCESS Prism Video(TM) products offer a complete, networked digital video system for the enterprise providing remote and local CCTV to the desktop for video surveillance and recording. The product line includes network cameras, network transmitters, software-based recording, and multiple viewing options providing customers with the lowest cost overall enterprise-wide solution. High speed, real-time video and audio provides true visibility into operations to reduce theft and terrorism, increase criminal apprehensions, improve life safety, improve enterprise operations, observe sales programs, and to monitor compliance with both legal and corporate guidelines.
