Press Release Summary: The leading storage and surveillance provider QNAP Systems,
Inc. has launched one of the most successful network digital surveillance systems in
Asia\'s largest multi-functional shopping complex, the Dream Mall. QNAP VioGate
series and VioServers are installed with hundreds of cameras for a complete security
monitoring. QNAP NAS servers are adopted for reliable data storage and recording
backup to provide a total surveillance and storage solution and enhance the safety
of the Mall and their customers.

The QNAP digital surveillance system is designed with scatted architecture and
central monitoring. In the initial establishment, 600 cameras and VioGates are set
up for monitoring across different locations. To set up 600 cameras in the Mall, 600
coaxial cables were needed for the wiring. With QNAP network surveillance system,
only 30 fiber cables are required, and 10 of those are redundant cables. Moreover,
the length of coaxial cables required for traditional monitoring system is about
240,000 m. With the scattered architecture of QNAP digital surveillance system, only
UTP network cables of about 6,000 m long are sufficient for the setup of the
surveillance system. This minimizes the cost of establishment.

The digital surveillance system in the Dream Mall provides outstanding expansion
capability. The number of cameras can be increased to 2,000. Also, the digital
recording data can be stored, managed, and played back via web-based management
interface. Electronic map (E-map) is supported for graphical control and monitoring
of multiple locations from different monitoring centers. According to Mr. Peace Kuo,
Product Manager of QNAP, \"The digital surveillance system incorporates QNAP
surveillance and storage products for redundant recording. The main recording data
are stored in the built-in hard drives of the video server, and the backup
recordings are saved to the remote QNAP NAS. With QNAP surveillance and NAS
products, users can be benefited from the solution of high performance surveillance
and reliable storage and backup of recording data.\"
