These Visual First Responders included the on-board video encryption technology and extended range antennas. The encryption feature allows first responders to transmit their on-scene video to the command post without the data being intercepted by unwanted parties.
"The recent sales to several divisions of the United States Military are an indication the VFR is becoming the preferred video technology," stated Dave Johansen, Homeland Defense Products Manager for View. "Our efforts and growing support from our distributors is leading to consistent orders and now the sales are becoming more significant."
The Visual First Responder (VFR) is powerful wireless camera system that is able to transmit high quality video in the most difficult environments. The U.S. Army, U.S. National Guard, U.S. Coast Guard, State Emergency Responders and Fire & Rescue Departments currently use the VFR. The camera's patented triple-diversity antenna system dramatically reduces transmission loss that affects other systems.
