Hie Electronics and JDL Digital Systems Partnering to Provide Innovative Solutions

August 27, 2007

JDL Digital Systems is proud to partner with Hie Electronics, to assist with the advanced video capture, search and forensic capabilities for Hie's next-generation video surveillance solution, winner of Frost & Sullivan's 2007 Product Innovation of the Year Award (North American Video Surveillance).

"Hie Electronics' TeraStack solution offers users an efficient way of storing video evidence on to multiple DVDs, rather than having a hard drive which overwrites data when it is at capacity," explains John Zhu, JDL's President. "And with JDL video management software for the solution; users can now search through thumbnails taken every second to find specific security events."

"JDL is great to work with," says Pat Humm, CEO of Hie Electronics.  "Our Hie-DVR-branded product combined with the Hie Electronics' TeraStack Solution is going to start a revolution by being the solution for long-term, low-cost video surveillance storage.  Video archiving is no longer a bottleneck for the video surveillance industry.  Using the Hie-DVR forensic analysis over long periods is now a reality."

As the physical security and IT markets converge with the adoption of IP technologies, JDL and Hie Electronics continue to partner to provide solutions that address evolving user needs for lower storage costs, smaller storage footprint, more powerful search features, and IP integration with analog systems.

JDL is a specialist in hardware video compression and writes OEM applications for security video recording and management.  Its software has been protecting banks, museums, casinos, and other sensitive environments since 2004.
