DriveCam Video Systems Wins 2004 AeA High Tech Award

SAN DIEGO--Oct. 1, 20048, 2004--DriveCam Video Systems, the leader in knowledge-based systems that improve driving behavior, announced today that it has won the 2004 High Tech Award from the San Diego Council of AeA, the nation's largest high-tech trade association.

DriveCam won the top award in the category of Computers/Related Products for its leadership in creating feedback systems that lower operating costs for fleets by identifying and correcting risky driving behaviors. The winners were announced at the eleventh annual AeA High Tech Awards luncheon on October 13, 2004.

DriveCam's knowledge-based feedback systems reduce the number and severity of collisions by as much as 70%, which dramatically reduces insurance premiums and lowers payouts for self-insurers. Safer driving also results in fewer vehicle repairs, reduced fuel consumption and lower maintenance costs. When a collision occurs, DriveCam recordings provide unbiased evidence to protect drivers from incorrect blame, lower insurance investigative expense and reduce settlement payments.

"This award reflects the accomplishments of our hard working engineering and product development team," said Bruce Moeller, CEO of DriveCam Video Systems. "Their knowledge and dedication has made DriveCam an integral component of our customers' safety programs."

The 2004 High Tech Awards marks the 11th anniversary of the AeA High Tech Awards. More than 500 AeA members and non-members attended the luncheon to acknowledge the successes of local technology companies from a diverse set of categories such as software, semiconductors and outstanding emerging growth.
