Press Release Body = Forward Vision CCTV announces the release of the MIC1-440, an
explosion-protected, ATEX-certified model from the MIC1 - or Metal Mickey as they
are more commonly known - series of pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras. The MIC1-440 is
specifically designed to provide effective surveillance at critical infrastructure
sites.

The MIC1-440 recently completed its ATEX-certification testing, allowing it to
address the needs of important vertical markets including the oil, gas and
petrochemical industries. The MIC1-440 has generated interest from leading British
integrators and consultants. The corresponding CSA/UL-certified model for North
America is currently completing certification procedures and the camera has already
secured initial orders.

The release of MIC1-440 coincides with the development of multiple communication
protocol capability, enabling easy integration into various video management
platforms. MIC1 is also gaining sales traction from its increased use in mobile
systems, which include a recent project completed for the Hong Kong Transport
Department. The system incorporated MIC1 into a mobile platform which transmitted
live video via a 3.5G wireless network to transport department headquarters where
the video was processed by video analytics.

The recent developments in the MIC1 product family is consistent with the Extreme
CCTV Group\'s plan to support and aggressively grow the Forward Vision company which
it acquired on July 31, 2006. Extreme will continue to accelerate engineering
developments and grow Forward Vision as a centre of excellence for mechanical
products.

\"Metal Mickey has built a loyal following among leading British security consultants
for its performance and versatility,\" says Jack Gin, President and CEO of Extreme
CCTV. \"We believe we have the best electro-mechanical systems engineering group in
the world for CCTV. As we work to open new market channels in the rest of the
world, the R&D team at Forward Vision continues to innovate new products - which
include thermal sensing models for defence applications - that will create further
opportunities for growth.\"
Designed for effective surveillance at critical infrastructure sites, the Mic1-440
is certified for explosion protected performance to ATEX Directive 94/9/EC Exd IIC
T6 and holds Certificate of Registration No. 679907.
