Magal Reports Agreement for Installation of a Municipal Command
and Control System 


YAHUD, Israel, July 18  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Magal Security Systems, Ltd.
(NASDAQ NMS: MAGS ; TASE: MAGS) today announced that it has signed a US$ 0.5
million contract for the installation of a municipal command and control system
for a city in Israel, based on Magal's FORTIS system that was modified for this
particular purpose. The project is expected to be complete by the end of the
third quarter of 2005.

The modified FORTIS system will integrate command and control of the entire
security infrastructure of the city, protecting its industrial facilities,
water reservoirs and its citizens from burglars and sabotage. Magal expects
that more applications will be integrated into the system in the future, such
as the integration of command and control for the fire departments and
emergency rescue teams.

Using advanced technology which includes dozens of smart cameras, the modified
FORTIS system will provide the control center of the municipality with a unique
graphical command tool, which will update the location details and video view
of the alerting area, while simultaneously enabling operators to dispatch and
monitor security personnel, thus optimizing the operational response.

Mr. Even-Ezra, Chairman of Magal said, "This is the first time that Magal has
been involved in control and command of civil activities, and we are pleased
that our R&D people were able to modify the Fortis system and adapt it to the
unique needs specified for this particular project. We believe that this opens
a new niche for Magal's systems and we believe that our success will lead to
more orders following from other cities."
