JDS is one of the first companies in the IP surveillance field. We have been developing our solutions since the turn of the millennium. We have watched companies come and go in this time period and have continued to grow in this marketplace. We are currently on our ninth generation of our technology and continue in extensive R & D of new products. We have a significant install base worldwide running reliably 24/7.

JDS's software systems are 100% developed in house. We own all of our code. We do not rely on third party streaming engines from camera manufactures or other companies. This allows us to tune our products to achieve the highest thruput per CPU processing unit in the industry. This also means that customization at any level is a fast and efficient process. We have many custom applications built on the foundation of our core technologies.

Performance and scalability are becoming increasingly important as megapixel and multi-megapixel cameras are implemented in main stream surveillance systems. With JDS, less CPU horsepower is needed to achieve the camera density desired. This equates to a much lower Total Cost of Ownership.

Camera density is also a major JDS advantage. Our systems are designed to handle hundreds of cameras per PC system. With current hardware technology, it is possible to stream well over 1,000 cameras per PC. More specifically, 100 VGA cameras at 5 to 7 FPS recording on full motion to internal Raid arrays are in production worldwide, with average PC hardware, from multiple hardware vendors.

Another advantage, which is very important, is our patented disk writing methods. JDS uses no database to record video. Everything is streamed direct to disk into a patented archive directory structure. While other systems are limited to 600,000 frames of video per camera, JDS's systems have near infinite capacity. On 32 bit Windows platforms with sufficient storage, 16 cameras can record 30 FPS non stop for 33,000 years each.

The most significant advantage is our system reliability. JDS products run continuously. Typically, our customers report that we have 'set and forget' functionality. We have cases where our software has been running arrays of cameras for years... and one Federal Prison running our software on hundreds of cameras non stop for 5 1/2 years... and was restarted only because the CPU was replaced with newer hardware.

Advantages:

• JDS has been in the IP video surveillance business since 2000.
• We can stream more cameras per PC at any resolution.
• We can utilize lower horsepower PCs to achieve the desired performance requirements.
• We can easily handle large arrays of MegaPixel class cameras with efficient density per NVR.
• We can stream video at any resolution... well beyond current megapixel technology.
• We can record more video per camera due to direct to disk technology.
• We can find any video frames or sequences instantly... Without any added CPU overhead.
• We prefer discreet format video such as JPEG, avoiding the pitfalls of delta formats like MPEGx.
