Monday July 30, 8:30 am ET
Arkansas, Wisconsin and New Mexico Join West Virginia in Statewide Purchase Authorizations for DVM-500 Digital In-Car Video System Integrated Into Rearview Mirror
LEAWOOD, Kan., July 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Digital Ally, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: DGLY - News), which develops, manufactures and markets advanced video surveillance products for law enforcement, homeland security and commercial security applications, today announced that three additional states have awarded contracts that allow all state, county and municipal law enforcement agencies to purchase Digital Ally's DVM-500 Digital In-Car Video System Integrated into a Rearview Mirror at prices negotiated with the Company. These contracts were received during the second quarter of 2007 and, when added to the West Virginia statewide contract announced during the first quarter, they bring to four the number of statewide contracts signed during the first half of 2007.
The Arkansas State Police, after a thorough evaluation period, awarded a one-year contract, with renewal options, and placed an initial order for 70 DVM-500 systems. The systems have been delivered, and a training session has been conducted for State Police Instructors. Additional systems are expected to be ordered later this year.
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation has awarded a statewide contract to Digital Ally, Inc. for the DVM-500. This contract allows all state, county and municipal government agencies to purchase the DVM-500 for a period of one year, with renewal options. The Wisconsin State Patrol placed an initial order for 50 DVM-500 systems, which are currently being installed in vehicles throughout the State. Orders are expected from a number of cities and counties as notification of the contract is received by other agencies.
The New Mexico General Services Department has awarded a Price Agreement to Digital Ally, Inc. for the DVM-500, which allows all New Mexico agencies, commissions, institutions, political subdivisions and local public bodies to purchase the DVM-500 system under the same terms and prices. Notification is being sent to all agencies informing them of this Price Agreement.
"These three new statewide contracts, and the earlier one awarded to us from West Virginia, verify the continued acceptance of the DVM-500 by law enforcement agencies of all sizes," observed Stanton E. Ross, Chief Executive Officer of Digital Ally, Inc. "Our concept of integrating state-of-the-art digital video technology into a rearview mirror, thereby minimizing the space required within a law enforcement vehicle, has been enthusiastically received in the marketplace. Police cars are full of other equipment in both the trunk and the driver/passenger compartment. Thus, when officers see a complete digital video system integrated into a rearview mirror, their response has been universally positive."

Digital Ally Receives First Large International Order for In-Car Video Systems
Tuesday July 31, 8:30 am ET
Management Envisions Significant Global Market Potential for Company's Advanced Digital Video Surveillance Products
LEAWOOD, Kan., July 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Digital Ally, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: DGLY - News), which develops, manufactures and markets advanced video surveillance products for law enforcement, homeland security and commercial security applications, today announced that it has received its largest international order, to date -- a contract for the purchase of 50 DVM-500 Digital In-Car Video Systems Integrated into a Rearview Mirror from the Police Department of the State of Queretaro in Central Mexico. Working with its International Sales Agent for Mexico, Digital Ally was able to secure this order during the second quarter of 2007. The DVM-500 units have been delivered and are currently being installed in State Police vehicles in Queretaro.
"We are very pleased to announce this order from our neighbors in Mexico, a country that we believe has significant potential for additional business in the future," stated Stanton E. Ross, Chief Executive Officer of Digital Ally, Inc. "This represents our largest order, to date, from a customer outside the USA, and it illustrates the appeal of our DVM-500 within the international law enforcement community."
"A key advantage of the DVM-500 involves the fact that it can be easily installed in any vehicle, whether a police cruiser in the United States or any of the makes and models of vehicles used by law enforcement agencies throughout the world. The DVM-500 simply replaces the factory-installed rearview mirror. Installation is simple and fast. Our competitors' units are limited to certain types of vehicles, and this possibly eliminates them from consideration in certain countries where police vehicles are much smaller and have no room for video storage devices in the trunk, dash, or console."
"The DVM-500's solid state design, which eliminates all moving parts, represents another important competitive advantage when targeting international markets," continued Ross. "Extreme temperatures, such as the heat in Mexico or the cold in Canada or Eastern Europe, do not degrade the performance of the DVM-500 in the least. In fact, one Canadian police agency has reported utilizing the DVM-500 at a temperature of minus 36 degrees Fahrenheit with no ill effects."
"As we continue to expand our sales and marketing activities and our product line, we believe the international market will represent a growing percentage of our future sales," concluded Ross. |
