DVTel Awarded Kalagate Certification


Ridgefield Park, NJ, and London, UK, August 09, 2007 -- DVTel, Inc., ranked number one in market share by IMS Research and multiple award-winning market leader in the development and delivery of intelligent security solutions over IP networks, today announced that it has received official certification from the Kalagate Imagery Bureau in the UK for the company’s Latitude Network Video Management System (NVMS).

The certification means that images from the company’s NVMS are admissible as legal evidence in court. The Kalagate Imagery Bureau certifies forensic imagery for the judicial systems in the UK, Wales, Scotland, and around the world. Kalagate staff are experts in the fields of forensic analysis of analogue and digital CCTV video footage and still imagery comparison used in crime prevention on behalf of the police, other law enforcement agencies and in the defence of criminals caught on CCTV cameras. They are also experts in facial and body mapping, vehicle identification, Vehicle Recognition Number identification and identification of weapons.

DVTel’s Latitude NVMS is a fully scalable, open-standard, enterprise-level multimedia management system. This advanced network-based system architecture enables simultaneous monitoring of video and audio, live and recorded, from multiple stations. The software can be configured to store and view from one to thousands of cameras, and it can monitor connections across an unlimited number of servers.

After careful evaluation of DVTel’s Latitude NVMS software-based solution, the analysis by Kalagate's experienced forensic imagery analysts has concluded that the system’s images were more than acceptable in terms of the quality and suitability necessary for use as evidence in courts of law.

Kalagate's testing included:
• Aspect Ratio and Quality of Exported Video
• Aspect Ratio and Quality of Exported Still Images
• Aspect Ratio and Quality of Video via Decoder
• Tamper-proofing and Authenticity of Exported Video

“DVTel recognizes the critical importance of using video evidence to aid criminal investigations and gain convictions,” said DVTel’s EMEA Managing Director David Petrook “However, we also understand that any video used in court proceedings must be of the highest quality. This Kalagate certification ensures that DVTel video meets the highest standards for use as legal evidence here and in courts around the world.”
