Press Release Body = Forward Vision CCTV is celebrating the successful installation
of the fist ever ATEX certified (explosion-proof) 'Metal Mickey' cameras at a
leading pan-European petrochemical operator on the south coast. The MIC1-440 series
of pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras (Mickeys as they are affectionately known) is
specifically designed to provide effective surveillance at critical infrastructure
sites.

The client was looking for a robust and reliable process management tool to help
meet rigorous on-site health and safety regimes, and experts Eclipse Digital
Solutions - an approved FVCCTV installer - was called in to evaluate the brief and
make appropriate recommendations.

Eclipse Digital Solutions recommended 2 Forward Vision (FVCCTV) 'Metal Mickeys' -
widely regarded as the most robust range of cameras on the market for hazardous and
high-end specialist environments. Two new metal 'Mickeys' were installed (Mic1-440).
These leading edge technology cameras are ATEX certified, meaning they are certified
safe for use in explosive atmospheres, to EU Directive 94/9/EC IIC T6. This is the
first installation anywhere in the UK of this ATEX certified Mic1-440 camera.
Another member of the 'Mickey' range has already been used to great effect in
several other high profile and hazardous situations.

The Metal Mickey, which comes in a range of different finishes and models for
different specific environments, is precision engineered to the highest standards.
At the UK client's site, the pair of 'Mickeys' now provide virtual access to the
processor plant, giving a 24/7 process management overview, displayed onto live
screens and desktop PCs in multiple positions around the site. The FVCCTV Mickeys
link into a Geutebruck DDR CCTV system utilising a BBV control protocol, which
allows all on-site cameras to be controlled from one point if required - either in
the UK or on the continent. The client said: "There is zero room for error in
potentially explosive environments and we need to know that we are investing in the
best health and safety technology that money can buy. The ATEX certified FVCCTV
'Mickey' not only fulfils that fundamental requirement, it also offers us enhanced
functionality which delivers real business management benefits. The 'Mickey's'
physical size is also much smaller than other flameproof camera technologies, which
is an added bonus."

Alan Drinkwater of Eclipse Digital Solutions, said: "We are naturally delighted to
be the first ever installer of an ATEX certified FVCCTV 'Mickey' in the UK. FVCCTV
has yet again delivered a world class product to market and we are looking forward
to many more enquiries about the Mickey from a range of specialist organisations and
sectors."
