        The statement on Schedule 13D filed on January 18, 2007 (the “Schedule 13D”), relating to ordinary shares, par value NIS 1.40 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”) of Scopus Video Networks Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (the “Issuer”), is hereby amended as set forth below by this Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

        The Reporting Person purchased the Shares because it determined that such shares represent an attractive investment opportunity. The Reporting Person monitors the Issuer’s business, operating results and financial position and depending on market conditions and its continuing evaluation of the business and prospects of the Issuer and other factors, the Reporting Person is considering the acquisition of additional securities of the Issuer.

        From June 2006 through October 2006, the Reporting Person held discussions with members of the Issuer’s management, certain of the Issuer’s representatives and the board of directors of the Issuer to discuss a possible negotiated business transaction with the Issuer. No further discussions were held with the Issuer’s management since October 2006. The Reporting Person reserves the right to contact the Issuer’s board of directors, management or representatives again in the future to discuss a possible negotiated business transaction.

        In addition, subject to applicable law, the Reporting Person specifically reserves the right to discuss with other shareholders and the Issuer matters that may be of common concern. No agreements, arrangements or understandings exist between the Reporting Person and third parties with respect to the foregoing.

        On May 31, 2007, pursuant to Section 66(b) of the Israeli Companies Law of 1999 (the “Companies Law”), the Reporting Person requested from the Issuer that Mr. Hilman, a member of the board of directors of the Reporting Person, appear as a director nominee in the proxy statement to be distributed by the Issuer in connection with its next annual general meeting. Section 66(b) of the Companies Law allows any shareholder of an Israeli corporation that holds at least one percent of the voting rights in the general meeting of such corporation to submit a proposal to be included in the proxy statement of such corporation. The proposal can be excluded by the corporation if the proposal is not a proper subject for action by shareholders. Additionally, the Reporting Person requested that the Issuer provide to the Reporting Person certain financial information required by the Reporting Person in order to comply with its disclosure obligations under applicable laws. A copy of the request is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Amendment No. 1.

        Except as set forth in this Item 4, neither the Reporting Person nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Person, any of the persons set forth on Annex A, has any present plan or proposal that relates to or would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the Form of Schedule 13D. However, the Reporting Person specifically reserves the right to adopt and pursue one or more such plans, and to make such proposals, at any time and from time to time in the future. Annex A of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as attached.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

        Item 5(a) of the Schedule 13D is amended as follows:

        (a) Optibase is the direct beneficial owner of 3,035,223 Ordinary Shares or approximately 22.57% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Issuer, based on 13,446,817 Ordinary Shares outstanding as disclosed in Item 7A of the Issuer’s Annual Report on Form 20-F, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 12, 2007. Other than as described above, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Person, none of the persons set forth on Annex A beneficially owns any securities of the Issuer.

Additionally, pursuant to Section 66(b) of the Companies Law of 1999, we hereby request that Mr. Alex Hilman will be appear as a director nominee in the proxy statement of Scopus for its next annual general meeting.
