European Space Agency (ESA) Selects NiceVision® Smart Video Management Solution to Secure its Pan-European Sites

- NICE Systems to be sole provider of smart digital video recording and content analysis to ESA

- Deal valued at over $1 million

Ra'anana, Israel,November 11, 2003: NICE Systems (NASDAQ: NICE), a worldwide leader of multimedia digital recording solutions, applications and related professional services for business interaction management, announced today that the prestigious European Space Agency (ESA) has chosen the NiceVision® Pro smart video management solution over other high-end systems to protect its sites` perimeters and highly secured areas, in a deal valued at over $1 million. The system will monitor, record and analyze data from several hundred cameras installed throughout ESA`s headquarters in France and other sites in Italy, Germany and the Netherlands.

Key factors in ESA`s decision were: NiceVision`s advanced content analysis applications; lowest total cost of ownership (TCO), superior video quality, storage architecture, and seamless integration with access control systems.

NiceVision`s content analysis applications will be used to protect ESA from intrusion by analyzing video in real-time, detecting intruder threats and automatically alerting security officers to unauthorized entry. It will also be used in high protection areas to count people and to verify authorized vehicles. NiceVision`s high channel capacity and sophisticated video compression will enable ESA to significantly save on space, energy, infrastructure and maintenance.

Dr Philippe Schallier, site security and risk management coordinator for ESA, said, "Over the last two years, the European Space Agency has taken active steps to ensure that stringent security is in place across all its sites. As part of this process, we decided to enhance our video security operation, which is critical for protecting our satellites and research and development facilities. After a lengthy review process of the market`s offerings by internal experts and external consultants, we decided that NICE`s solution best meets our needs. NiceVision offers highly advanced, real-time, video recording with industrial-grade content analytics which we can rely on, and, at the same time, saves us between 25 to 30 per cent in total cost of ownership, compared to other systems we considered."

Doron Eidelman, corporate executive VP and president of NiceVision, said, "We are very pleased to have won this flagship European contract which demonstrates the market`s enthusiasm for our content analysis applications. We believe that ESA`s choice clearly shows that NiceVision provides the most powerful and cost-effective digital video security solution."

NICE Systems Presents Vision for Digital Video Solutions at Industry Event

Doron Eidelman in panel discussion at the Securing New Ground 2003 Conference in New York

Ra'anana, Israel,November 13, 2003: NICE Systems (NASDAQ: NICE), a worldwide leader of multimedia digital recording solutions, applications and related professional services for business interaction management, today announced that Doron Eidelman, corporate executive VP heading the company's digital video security business, is a featured panelist for the "Digital Video, Coming of Age" discussion at Securing New Ground 2003. This conference takes place in New York this week, attended by the leaders of the security industry's most prominent companies, providers of emerging technologies and investors.

With technological expertise and innovation, NICE has overcome the roadblocks that have stood in the way of wide acceptance of digital video security. Initial concerns over excessive storage space requirements were addressed by improvements in DVR compression. Advances in content analysis have reduced the reliance on inevitably-fallible human operators, and platform integration has reduced the total cost of ownership.

NICE has this year deployed its first intrusion detection and object tracking applications for homeland security customers. These, and other recent practical proven examples, show how the obstacles to acceptance can and have been removed to enable customers to unleash the potential of digital video to increase overall security, while decreasing the size of the system footprint.

"The future success of this industry rides on going beyond security to create a firm link between security and business, making video an enterprise-wide resource. There are visionaries who are already doing so," says Doron Eidelman. "One of the largest airports in the United States, for example, is now drawing revenues from its digital video security system by commercially offering remote monitoring of its facilities to its airline customers. Such creative use of our digital video solutions shows how the link between security and business can be made successfully."

Securing New Ground 2003 takes place at the Roosevelt Hotel, Madison Ave, New York, November 12-13, 2003. For more details, visit http://www.securingnewground.com/
