July 25, 2009

New York, NY July 25 , 2009 - Dice Corporation, a security industry software leader, today announced that it is making available to its central station customers the XANBOO Security Enhanced Service fully integrated with Dice video enabling software . This integration makes it possible for central station operators to instantly receive video clips of alarm events and thereby provide video verification of security alerts. The service is tailored for central stations to offer to their dealers and is designed to provides a significant RMR opportunity for both organizations.

Xanboo Security Enhanced Service provides dealers with an easy to install IP based enhanced service that integrates seamlessly with their customer's existing or new security systems. This enhanced service makes it possible for users to control and monitor their homes or businesses from anywhere in the world, over the Internet. With their mobile phones and PCs, users can access a virtual keypad to control all functions of the alarm systems, view live video, control lighting and instantly receive alerts from sensors. In addition to increasing RMR, this service creates real value and offers a unique competitive differentiator.

Xanboo's technology is the only "no touch" system in production today that is truly plug-and-play and does not require any changes to the user's network connections. Xanboo's line of IP cameras, water and temp sensors, lighting and thermostats are all wireless and affordable. Xanboo also recently added an analog-to-IP video converter that allows the use of any analog camera with the system.

Philip DuPont, Director of Operations of Dice said, "We are very excited about the opportunity to offer central stations an important new service with the potential for substantial additional RMR for both themselves and their dealers while at the same time provide a great product that will allow dealer customers to see video at their homes or businesses via their cell phones or PCs. The addition of video verification will be a major factor in the reduction of false alarms." DuPont continued, "especially important is that while central stations will be sharing in the monthly revenue for this service, the turnkey implementation program currently being used by Xanboo does not require significant involvement by central stations, other than billing."

Bill Diamond, President of Xanboo, said, "Working with a leader in the security industry such as Dice is a terrific opportunity for Xanboo to continue the rollout of our patented technology for layering on broadband interactive services. We believe the addition of this new video verification service will dramatically increase the usefulness and importance of our enhanced service offering."
