Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On February 18, 2010, the Board of Directors of Iveda Corporation (the “Registrant”) appointed Robert Brilon, the Registrant’s interim Chief Financial Officer, as the Registrant’s part-time Chief Financial Officer.

Mr. Brilon, age 49, joined IntelaSight, Inc., the Registrant’s wholly-owned subsidiary, in December 2008 as its CFO and Treasurer, and became the interim CFO and Treasurer of the Registrant effective upon the closing of the merger on October 15, 2009, pursuant to which IntelaSight, Inc. became a subsidiary of the Registrant. Mr. Brilon is best known for his entrepreneurial efforts with Go-Video (AMEX:VCR) from 1986 to 1993, maker of the first dual-deck VCR and most recently as the CEO/CFO for InPlay Technologies (Nasdaq:NPLA), formerly Duraswitch (Nasdaq:DSWT), from 1998 to 2007. He brings over 25 years of financial experience to Iveda. Mr. Brilon moved to Phoenix in 1983 while working with Ernst and Young and then joined Deloitte and Touche (working at both firms from 1982 to 1986), until he began his corporate career at Go-Video in 1986. Other positions held include CFO at Gietz Master Builders (from 1997 to 1998), Corporate Controller at Rental Service Corp. (NYSE:RRR) from 1995 to 1996, and CFO and VP of Operations at DataHand Systems, Inc. (from 1993 to 1995). He has substantial experience with investor relations, capital transactions, SEC reporting, financial and business analysis, merger and acquisition assessment, technology development, and P&L management. Mr. Brilon graduated with a BBA from the University of Iowa and soon became a CPA with McGladrey Pullen in Dubuque, IA.

Neither the Registrant nor any of its subsidiaries has entered into any transactions with Mr. Brilon described in Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. Mr. Brilon was not appointed pursuant to any arrangement or understanding between Mr. Brilon and any other person.

In connection with Mr. Brilon’s appointment as CFO, the Registrant did not enter into or materially amend any plan, contract, or arrangement that Mr. Brilon will participate in as CFO of the Registrant, except that Mr. Brilon’s annual salary was increased from $35,200 to $40,000. Mr. Brilon does not have any employment agreement with the Registrant.

Also effective February 18, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Registrant increased the salary of David Ly, the Registrant’s CEO, from $88,000 to $100,000 annually, and increased the salary of Luz Berg, the Registrant’s COO and CMO, from $88,000 to $100,000 annually. The Board also awarded a bonus of $25,000 each to Mr. Ly and Ms. Berg effective February 18, 2010 in recognition of their ongoing work on behalf of the Registrant and its subsidiary over the past three years, during which they each regularly and periodically had to forgo payments of salary and other compensation.
