Magal Announces a US$0.5 Million Order for a Project Based on its
DreamBox Security Solution to Protect a Sensitive Facility 


YAHUD, Israel, August 18  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Magal Security Systems,
Ltd. (NASDAQ:MAGS)(TASE:MAGS), today announced that it has received a US$0.5
million order for a project based on the DreamBox, the new all-in-one CCTV
security solution, to protect a sensitive facility.

The DreamBox is a state-of-the-art embedded hardware and software product,
which integrates a number of video surveillance related applications into one
box. DreamBox is designed to be price competitive, compact to save space, and
easy to install by avoiding a complicated system cabling installation and
software integration.

The DreamBox contains twelve different applications, including Digital Video
and Audio Recording, Video & Audio Matrix Switcher, Outdoor and Indoor Video
Motion Detection System (VMD), Security Management System (SMS) and Video
Transmission via network.

Mr. Jacob Even-Ezra, Chairman of Magal, stated: "Although the DreamBox was
launched at the end of March 2004, our expectations were that sales of the
DreamBox would not start until the end of 2004. We are pleased that our
investment in the marketing of this new product has already begun to pay off.
We expect that this system will be installed at the client's site before the
end of 2004."
