MESA, Ariz., Sept. 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Iveda (OTC: IVDA), the worldwide provider ofIvedaAI intelligent video search technology, Sentir video surveillance products, IvedaPinpoint and IvedaHome IoT (Internet of Things) platforms with smart devices, today announced that it closed a strategic investment from Bell Limited Partnership.

Bell Limited Partnership is a Malaysia-based private equity investment fund. They invest in emerging growth companies that are creating great global technological impact. Its goal is to make a meaningful difference to the portfolio success through a robust investment process with long-term holding and enhanced market expansion assistance in Asia.

We bet on the jockey, not only the horse; and were very excited to have made this strategic investment into Iveda because of its huge global revenue potential and technology leadership, stated Dan Choi, senior partner of Bell Limited Partnership. Their management team is genuine and unwavering at all times with a passion to bring an unparalleled level of realism that only true leaders of the industry would. The real-world applications of Ivedas technologies and industrial expertise are what impressed us, added Choi.

Iveda first engaged with the group through one of its senior partners from Japan, seeking to potentially use IvedaAI for a specific retail chain application in Japan. IvedaAI provides intelligence to video surveillance systems with its face recognition, license plate recognition, object search, vehicle/people counting and other video analytics. The first IvedaAI appliance shipped to the customer recently.

The potential of this first customer in Japan is a stepping-stone to penetrate many other industries in Japan that can benefit from IvedaAI, said David Ly, CEO of Iveda. Japan is a lucrative market and not easy to enter. We are fortunate to have engaged with Bell Limited Partnership to help us navigate this important market for Iveda., added Ly.

As we are not rushed with arbitrary deadlines towards a quick exit, were starting to open up the Japan market for Iveda with this first customer, a key player in the automotive aftermarket in Japan, said Choi.
