Magal Enters Completion Phase for Two Safe City Projects in Israel

YAHUD, Israel, April 28, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Magal Security Systems, Ltd. (NASDAQ GM: MAGS;) announced today that it is in the final stages of implementation with two safe city projects in Savyon and Nazareth, Israel. Both projects provide integration of multiple security products and systems including cameras, emergency buttons, and locating systems.

In Savyon, the focus of the project is on the safety of children in schools and daycare centers. An important element of the solution is a truck-mounted mobile surveillance kit which constantly transmits video into the central Command & Control center.

In Nazareth, the security system provides first responders with the tools for critical event management in shopping malls, schools, parks and other sensitive sites. The unique advantage of the system is the ability to incorporate a sophisticated and scheduled Video Motion Detection (VMD) technology for PTZ cameras that points to different areas of interest during different times of the day and night.

In both cases, all elements of the security system are integrated into a single real-time Command and Control system (Magal's Fortis). Security personnel are supported by a user-friendly GUI, which includes check lists, sensor displays and a situation awareness map. Multiple sensors and data sources rely on a wide band wireless network and GIS (Geographical Information System) engine, which synchronizes all events into a single cohesive information system. Events are logged and automatically communicated by email and text messages to security personnel.

Eitan Livneh, President and CEO of Magal S3, commented: "These new projects are added to a list of more than 25 cities in Israel that Magal S3 is protecting through advanced technology. In all cases, these comprehensive security solutions have contributed significantly to a reduction in crime and vandalism."

"Magal is building a strong position in the safe city market segment globally. In Latin America, we are aggregating data from distinct security applications across disperse sites, into a single nationwide homeland security site."

He adds: "Safe City security represents a growth opportunity for Magal S3 in the coming years."
