Posted on: Monday, 16 October 2006, 12:01 CDT

LOVELAND, Colo., Oct. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Security With Advanced Technology, Inc. , a leading provider of digital video surveillance solutions, today announced that it has been selected by the Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority (CCJPA) to install its ShiftWatch(R) Transportation Video Surveillance (TVS) Systems in 92 intercity passenger rail vehicles (California locomotives and double-deck passengers cars) that operate on the Capitol Corridor and San Joaquin trains in Northern California and the Central Valley. This award is the result of a successful pilot program announced in June. Installation of these systems is expected to begin in the fourth quarter.

The value of the award is estimated at $665,000 and includes purchase and installation of the security camera systems.

"We are very pleased with the results of the pilot project and CCJPA is eager to move forward with this system wide deployment of the ShiftWatch Video Surveillance System," stated Gene Skoropowski, Managing Director, Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority. "The safety and security of our passengers is our utmost concern. High quality video security, as demonstrated by the ShiftWatch system, is an important part of our solution."

"We are proud to be selected by CCJPA, one of the largest intercity rail routes in the nation, as an important part of their security solution. We were confident that once we were able to demonstrate the features and video quality of ShiftWatch as part of the initial pilot roll out, this larger order would follow," said Tom Marinelli, CEO for Security With Advanced Technology, Inc. "We believe that the video quality and advanced data management features of our ShiftWatch TVS 300 make it well suited for heavy rail deployments such as CCJPA."
