February 8, 2006—A4S Security, Inc. has announced the results of a test on the company’s ShiftWatch Video Surveillance product simulating last year’s London bus bombing. The ShiftWatch product withstood a blast using 10 pounds of explosive material, and provided data and video of the event up to within seconds of the blast.
The test was devised to demonstrate that the ShiftWatch product, designed with two types of storage, including a Sony Advanced Intelligent Tape (AIT) drive, could withstand such a catastrophic incident and continue to provide video of the event. This is the fourth successful bombing test the product withstood, says the company.
A4S Security, Inc. develops and markets the ShiftWatch product line of mobile digital video surveillance solutions for public transportation, law enforcement and general security applications.
