Emerging Homeland Security Surveillance Company Unveils Digital Video Recording Technology

Synergetic Technologies Inc. (OTC "SYGG") Company Profile

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Synergetic Technologies, Inc. ("SYGG" pinksheets) is a high tech holding company that has recently acquired 80% ownership of Advent Systems, Inc. The company's primary focus is to commercialize and market its fully developed proprietary technology in the Compressed Digital Video Recording (DVR) Industry, for use in the $20 billion Homeland Security Surveillance sector. The company operates out of facilities near Salt Lake City, Utah. The company's technology was utilized by technology providers to the 2002 Winter Olympics, Utah based correctional facilities, local hospitals, and many Government facilities ranging from The Secret Service to the Army Corp of Engineers and the Department of Homeland Security.

THE TECHNOLOGY

THE FUTURE OF "DIGITAL VIDEO RECORDING"


Corporate, government and military entities have recognized the need to incorporate video surveillance into their security strategies. Historically, traditional tape based systems require an extensive undertaking to record, store, process and retrieve video. Tape-based systems require a video recorder for each camera and searching through recordings is time consuming and labor intensive. With the development of Digital technology and data compression, Advent's fully developed technology offers tremendous advantages over the more cumbersome VHS technology. Multiple cameras are integrated into the system allowing utilization of advanced features such as real time DVD quality, remote access, remote command of zoom, pan and tilt, 2 way audio, instant retrieval and compression technology for long term storage. The system can also be integrated into other security measures like badge-readers, intrusion detection systems, alarm monitoring, "strong" facial recognition protocols. Advent can easily identify several faces in gatherings or lines where security is a primary concern. Each aspect of Advent's technology is compatible to wireless transmission for remote location monitoring on systems with bandwidth as low as 56K.

THE MARKET

The types of business that would benefit from Compressed Digital Surveillance Systems cut across numerous sectors of the economy. Industries such as automobile dealerships, airports, governmental facilities, fast food outlets, chain stores, convenience stores, shopping centers, utility companies, warehousing operations, banks and financial institutions, ATM networks and maritime ports have employed various types of surveillance systems in the past. The motivation for the incorporation of surveillance systems is many fold. Problems such as vandalism, employee theft, shoplifting, terrorism, burglaries, fire and unauthorized access can be resolved, establishing a heightened security for both employees and customers.

TYPICAL CASE STUDY

During a actual review last week of an Advent System installation, for a then single user client who owns several restaurants, Advent was able to show the owner the surveillance results of the technology in his restaurant over 700 Miles away using a PDA to monitor the cameras and system in his facility. Within 48 hours of installation 2 cases of employee theft of cash were filmed and 2 additional cases of employee productivity negligence were identified. The owner has since ordered units in all 45 additional locations that his company owns and operates.

THE SYNERGETIC TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION

Install a multi camera system with real time footage recording all activities from each camera and archiving the footage for 120 days. Increase signage around the facility to deter criminal activity and incorporate an employee awareness plan through Human Resources. Any problems in and around the facility can be easily monitored and viewed from any location world wide wherever internet access is available.

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

Large Fortune 1000 companies dominate the enterprise solution sector to the security industry. Integrating site security, video surveillance, access control, fire alarm, intrusion detection, biological and chemical threat detection and energy management have been priorities for commercial and government entities throughout the Nation. Numerous well known companies have entered this arena recently headlined by Brink's (NYSE "BCO"), General Electric (NYSE "GE"), Tyco (NYSE "TYC") through its ADT Security subsidiary, and Honeywell (NYSE "HW"). Smaller companies have recently enjoyed significant success in developing innovative technologies to address the need for surveillance equipment. Standouts include IPIX (Nasdaq "IPIX"), Magal Security Systems, Inc (Nasdaq "MAGS"), and Media Services Group (Nasdaq "MSGI").

ADVENT SYSTEMS, INC.
"AN EMERGING LEADER IN COMPRESSED DIGITAL VIDEO TECHNOLOGY"


The management of Synergetic Technologies, Inc. recognized a tremendous opportunity in commercializing advanced Digital Video Recording security systems utilizing the Advents' superior compression technology and purchased 80% of Advent Systems in October 2004. Advent Systems has developed proprietary technology in video compression which enables a much broader utilization of the technology into numerous previously unrecognized applications.

The most powerful component of the Advent security system is a digital algorithm which allows data compression far beyond anything else on the market. With compression as low as 0.5KB/frame, users can store over 90 days of DVD Quality and High Definition surveillance on one hard drive. With bandwidth requirements as low as 14.4Kb per second, users have the ability to monitor live streaming video and audio anywhere they have access to the internet. (Including PDAs or Cell phones). The implication of this technology provides the end user with the ability to monitor up to 48 video cameras with one screen. The technology is capable in allowing users to view security cameras from cell phones or PDAs using streaming video anywhere in the world. The system can actually monitor any location including a home, office or business from anywhere and get real time digital quality video streaming into his hand held receiver. The user can load the software onto most PDAs or Cell Phones for increased mobility.

The strength of the technology was realized when it provided video surveillance of President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for the Secret Service. The Secret Service was able to monitor the President from remote locations during the opening and closing ceremonies of 2002 Winter Olympic games held in Salt Lake City, Utah. The company now has customers ranging health care and correctional institutions to government security experts who are utilized this compressed video technology with outstanding results.

THE MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR VIDEO SURVELLAINCE MARKET

Synergetic's objective in combining Advent's system technology with in depth marketing and installation expertise is to create a "cutting edge" solution to address the current needs and to dominate the video surveillance market. An estimated 98% of the security market currently uses outdated analog technology and Advent's ability to provide real-time, live surveillance from remote locations is unmatched in the industry. The low-cost models are marketed to small businesses and homeowners, while the more advanced large enterprise systems are perfect for major corporations and Homeland Security. Unreleased and beta versions of the compression technology will have tremendous applications in the entertainment and broadcast industry. No longer will companies need to battle the FCC for additional bandwidth. Synergetic Technologies Inc. using Advent's technologies and protocols has the ability to change the way we communicate, watch television, and even how we use the internet.
