Opgal Redefines Security Thermal Imaging Equalizing Capabilities With CCTV Cameras

KARMIEL, Israel, May 17, 2011 - Opgal Optronics Industries, a leading global manufacturer of
innovative thermal and active-imaging solutions for security and safety
applications, today announced the launch of EyeSec(TM) 15-100 mm Continuous
Zoom thermal-imaging camera that behaves like any standard security/CCTV
camera.

An industry first, Opgal's EyeSec 15-100 mm Continuous Zoom
is a 24/7 outdoor security thermal camera for observing and monitoring
sensitive sites. The camera presents a clear and crisp thermal video image in
total darkness, light fog or smoke, allowing unmatched performance working
with video analytics and video motion detection (VMD) providing superior
detection capabilities. Featuring continuous zoom and autofocus, EyeSec
Continuous Zoom offers a wide operating range providing best situational
awareness in a variety of security applications.

"This unique thermal-imaging camera gives control-room
operators the same feel and ease of use as with a standard CCTV - in other
words, continuous zoom auto-focus with thermal capabilities for night
vision," said Yair M. Sakov, Vice President, Security Business Unit "In fact,
by translating day-imaging capabilities into night-vision features, we have
redefined the way thermal imaging is perceived." he adds. "In the not so
distant past, continuous-zoom capabilities were only available in expensive
cooled thermal cameras. Thanks to Opgal's expertise in this field, customers
can now benefit from a very affordable uncooled camera for optimum night
vision for any security application."

"We are very excited to be able to market this new and innovative thermal
camera to our current and potential clients," said Nick Grange, Technical
Director, C3 Shared Services, Opgal's business partner in South Africa. "For
the last four years, we have been successfully providing turnkey solutions
with Opgal's thermal cameras and intelligent video analytics as part of our
security offering," adds Cowley. "With EyeSec Continuous Zoom, we now can
offer superb performance with continuous digital and optical zoom in an
affordable package."

Based on Opgal's highly sensitive uncooled microbolometer engines, EyeSec
offers night and day, civilian and surveillance for sites and locations such
as nuclear plants, petrochemical installations, warehouses, national borders,
airports, railroads, pipelines, oil terminals, electrical power-plants,
communication transmitters and prisons. Different optic types with a range of
focal lengths fit virtually any operational need, from long distance narrow
to short distance wide field of vision.

Opgal's new EyeSec Continuous Zoom thermal camera will be presented at
IFSEC Annual Security Event, NEC Birmingham, UK 16-19 May.
