SECUREVIEW LAUNCHES IN 'USA TODAY' ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Mar 16, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- SeaView Video Technology Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SEVU) will launch its first pre-release advertising for SecureView in the March 17 edition of "USA Today," according to advertising consultant Jennifer Lawson. "It's a small ad, just to get a feel for what kind of inbound traffic we'll generate," Lawson said. "We've had very little advertising exposure for SecureView; we need to dip a toe in the water." Lawson also promised advance notice on broadcast dates for the World Billfish Tournament on ESPN, co-sponsored by SeaView and Continental airlines. The new Marine Division TV ads will also run in select cable markets starting March 20, and will also be viewable at wallstreetreporter.com on the Internet. Regarding the somewhat elusive Wall Street Reporter cover story, VP J. R. Cox commented, "There's apparently some confusion among their staff -- we've been told one date, then another." Cox said the latest word indicated the publication should be available tomorrow. Teaming partner Logis-Tech, a major supplier to the U.S. government, is preparing sales estimates and forecasting for SecureView installations in hundreds of government weapons facilities. The initial phase will add video security to existing installations through Logis-Tech's current $300-million contract. "They tell us as many as 25,000 buildings worldwide are in need of video security," stated National Sales Manager, Larry Hoffman. "All their presentations will now include SecureView, and they have two major events scheduled this month with the military." Hoffman confirmed that Logis-Tech will send several people to SeaView HQ next week for product training. "SecureView will integrate with the existing passive detection systems employed in command monitoring," CEO Rich McBride explained. "Now, when one of the cameras senses movement, or another alarm trips, they'll see and record the event. This is essentially the same type of system we'll use in banks and commercial buildings. "We have the computer software interface working now in our own building," McBride continued. "The system can be programmed to do unbelievable things -- even call your cell phone when a camera detects movement. And of course, you can call the system via the Internet from anywhere in the world." The homeowner will ultimately benefit from the same technology, McBride said. "They'll be able to buy a four-camera system with remote control for around $1200 dollars. For those wanting a bigger system, we'll have a plug-in card for their home computer. These are all modifications of existing technology, meaning it's readily available now." Consultant Mike Jackson reported great success for the Marine Division's aggressive spring-season dealer blitz. "Boat shows are delivering both sales and new dealers, and new dealer orders are rolling in. Unit sales topped $40,000 in the last two days."
