NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Aug 2, 2012) - DirectView Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: [ DIRV ]), a company focused on ownership and management of leading video and security technology companies, today announced the planned release of the "DirectView" mobile app for its CCTV and IP Surveillance systems. The application will enable DirectView customers to have remote access and control to multiple surveillance sites from a mobile device connected to the internet.

Management anticipates the initial launch of its "DirectView" app for Apple mobile devices to be launched sometime in the third quarter with its Android app to follow in short order. The "DirectView" mobile app will allow users a unique level of control over their sites different from others available today. What the "DirectView" app will do is to allow users to view remote sites at a number of locations in one single interface from anywhere in the world with an internet connection. It will offer users several features including the ability to have not only video remote surveillance but also audio when needed or requested. In addition to that the "DirectView" app even will have the ability to support two way audio with remote sites. Users will be able to also control their PTZ (pan / tilt / cameras) directly from the palm of their hand. This is just a sampling of the features expected. Upon final release DirectView will outline the available features.

Commenting on this release, Roger Ralston, CEO and Chairman of DirectView, stated, "As the market for video surveillance continues to evolve, the internet will be a key component in enabling instantaneous response to security needs at a local, national and international level. At DirectView, we are dedicated to providing our customers with capabilities that go beyond the simple viewing of sites remotely. Our services will allow for the ability to adjust cameras, playback footage and view multiple sites from one source anywhere in the world to help our customers better manage their resources. We are also excited about the building of the DirectView brand awareness this brings. To use the app users will always be touching the DirectView name and logo when they require remote viewing and or control of their system."
