Digital Ally Ramps Up Production of FirstVU HD Body Cameras for Law Enforcement Officers

LENEXA, KS--(Marketwired - Oct 7, 2013) - Digital Ally, Inc. (NASDAQ: DGLY), which develops, manufactures and markets advanced video surveillance products for law enforcement, homeland security and commercial applications, today announced that it has completed its initial production run for the FirstVU HD body camera system. The FirstVU HD is designed to operate independently or in conjunction with in-car video systems, thereby allowing law enforcement agencies to more effectively collect, record and manage video documentation of officer activities and evidence.

The two-piece design of the FirstVU HD is revolutionary within the rapidly growing market for body-worn cameras, and the camera head is the smallest in the industry. This is important for law enforcement officers because it is a product that is very lightweight and discrete, without sacrificing functional excellence. In effect, the camera is designed around the entire officer, not just the head or chest areas. This allows for a variety of mounting options, including on a weapon or a canine (K-9) companion.

Another significant competitive advantage of the FirstVU HD system involves the Company's new patent-pending VULink device, which allows the FirstVU HD to wirelessly communicate and interact with in-car video systems installed in police cruisers and other law enforcement vehicles. The VULink provides a bi-directional "trigger" between the officer wearing a FirstVU HD and the in-car video system. The VULink system automatically starts recording on both systems (the FirstVU HD and in-car video) when either system is activated, allowing the seamless collection of time-sequenced video evidence from the vehicle and the officer's location outside of the vehicle. If the officer activates the FirstVU HD while away from the vehicle, VULink wirelessly signals the in-car video system to begin recording, as well.

"We believe that the demand for body cameras is expanding at a rapid rate, and with FirstVU HD, we can offer law enforcement agencies the smallest two-piece HD body camera on the market," commented Stanton E. Ross, Chief Executive Officer of Digital Ally, Inc. "When combined with VULink, the missing piece of the body camera puzzle, our system provides unparalleled flexibility when it comes to critical video documentation of evidence. We believe VULink also provides compelling advantages to motorcycle officers, marine patrol and K-9 units by wirelessly alerting the FirstVU HD system to begin recording upon activation of a vehicle's emergency lights or when the 'dog popper' door is opened on a vehicle. This allows officers to perform their duties without having to manually start their recording device. We also expect 'cloud' storage of recorded video to be available soon."

"We have shipped over 200 test and evaluation FirstVU HD units to an approximately 160 potential customers, including some of the largest metropolitan law enforcement agencies in the United States," continued Ross. "We are encouraged by the preliminary results of these field tests and have been notified that Digital Ally has won a number of large test and evaluation competitions. We are optimistic that contract awards will follow."

In addition to its small size and light weight, the FirstVU HD provides 1280x720 HD quality video, has a 130-degree field of view, contains a battery that generates full power throughout the length of an officer's complete shift, and incorporates a tool-less mounting system that allows the officer to effortlessly relocate the camera to a dash mount vehicle application. Other mounting options are available for helmet/head, motorcycle/ATV and K-9 applications.
