CLIFTON, N.J., Oct. 21, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- ECSI International, Inc. (ECSI), a division of Electronic Control Security Inc. (OTCBB:EKCS) a global leader in perimeter security systems today announced it has signed an OEM agreement with Elta Systems Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Israel Aircraft Industries Ltd., ("IAI"). Elta Systems is the radar house of Israel and it developed a family of radars for land and waterside surveillance.
Under the agreement, ECSI will receive OEM rights to market Elta's Human Detection System (HDS), employing high resolution Doppler radar that monitors, detects, measures distance and azimuth and alarms when an intruder is approaching a secured perimeter or asset. The unit is compact, lightweight and cost-effective and operates around the clock even in poor weather and under low visibility. It generates an audio-visual alarm in the central control system whenever an intrusion is identified approaching the guarded area. The system can activate a day/night low level CCTV camera that will automatically be directed toward the detected moving target for identification and assessment purposes.
ECSI plans to market the product in the U.S. for use with the IBDSS, TASS programs and other major security initiatives.
"We are very impressed with Elta's advanced radar technology, and look forward to integrating their products for the USAF-IBDSS program and our existing distribution networks," said Arthur Barchenko, CEO of ECSI International, Inc."
