Business Editors

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 6, 2001--SeaView Video
Technology Inc. (OTCBB:SEVU) (www.sevu.com) recently opened the doors
to shareholders in an invitation-only Open House. Over 200
stockholders attended the February 3rd event. All the products were
available for viewing, including the new 8-camera SecureView System.
"This will be the security and surveillance system of the future,"
stated C.E.O. Rich McBride.
The system uses the company's proprietary cameras, which transmit
high band video via induction around AC & DC power lines. McBride
stated: "Quite simply, we utilize the SecureView Video Camera that
resembles a light bulb. It transmits back to a computer that controls
the function and alarm capability of the cameras. In many cases it
eliminates the need for motor control. The cameras can be controlled
and viewed from anywhere in the world from a portable PC. The beauty
of the concept is it requires no camera wiring--the high-quality B&W
or Color cameras transmit via the building's electrical wiring. The
system can be installed in hours and the cost is tens of thousands of
dollars less than most current systems."
SeaView is in high gear to deliver over $9 million in pending
orders for the single camera units sold in 4th quarter. Major
independent Radio Shack, Ace Hardware, and TrustWorthy Hardware stores
have orders in. Schools and Police Departments have purchase orders in
for cameras, according to Christy Mutlu, Sales Manager. "At $399,
SecureView can give schools and smaller police departments access to
high tech surveillance equipment. The cameras look like light bulbs,
require no wiring, carry a signal up to 1/4 mile, and they are
portable. You just move them to observe trouble areas."
The company delivered a test unit to the FBI at the end of 2000,
and they have ordered 4 more already. SeaView's claim to fame is from
its invention of a superior underwater camera utilizing White
Infra-Red diodes. The company has a "who's who" of government agencies
using the equipment: US Customs, Coast Guard, DEA, and Marine Patrols
all over the country. Over 10,000 cameras are in use with fisherman &
divers.
In corporate business the Board of Directors announced a new
consulting agreement with the founder and patent holder Rich McBride.
The agreement stipulates that the patents are for the exclusive use of
the company for the balance of their life. The payment terms are for
1 million shares in restricted stock. "This provides security to the
stockholders that my inventions will stay with the company." I still
have all the stock I own in original restricted certificates and have
not received any additional shares since the beginning," stated Rich
McBride C.E.O.
The company invites everyone to visit the web site at
(www.seaview.com). The new Denta-View, Vehicle Inspection Camera, and
Marine products are on display.
