Pelican Products and BMS Help Homeland Security and Law Enforcement Monitor Situations


TORRANCE, CA - September 5, 2006 - Pelican(TM) Products' high-impact, watertight Protector(TM) Cases have been chosen to house the BMS BVII, PBR24 and Carry-Viewer II Portable Video Receiver Systems.

"BMS technology is contributing a remote video surveillance solution that greatly advances the capabilities of law enforcement and we are pleased to provide a tough equipment protection solution for this potentially life saving product," said Mark Rolfes, Pelican's Vice President of Sales.

Perfect for law enforcement, homeland security and public safety surveillance, the systems are integrated in 1520 Protector(TM) Cases which act as a portable watertight, crush-proof chassis.

"We used Pelican Protector Cases to house our progressive portable technology because they are renowned for their durability," said Robert Bauer, Director of Sales and Marketing for BMS. "It's important to keep life saving equipment safe and protected so it will function when it's needed and Pelican Protector Cases deliver that in spades."

Both the BVII and PBR24 are PAL and NTSC-compliant and come standard with a broad beam, patch type antenna suitable for a 1-2 mile range. Additional standard features include rechargeable batteries and charger, an AC adapter with cigarette lighter power capabilities for extended operation, an onscreenpower status bar, and external AV jacks for use with video recording devices.
