BALTIMORE, Dec. 29, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- View Systems, Inc. (OTCBB:VSYM), a security and tele-data solutions provider, announced today that representatives have returned from their trip to staff the ViewScan units screening guests at the "Charm of Macao: 10 Year Celebration of Macao's Return to China." ViewScan units seamlessly scanned each guest as they walked through the main entrance of the event.
ViewScan is fast becoming the choice screening system, both domestically and internationally. It's a computer-based system that can scan up to 1200 people per hour. As a person passes through the portal, threat objects are visually located along with a photograph on the computer screen and an audible alert can be set to sound. The ViewScan produces no harmful emissions so it's safe for everyone.
View's international dealer, Shanghai Zhongbao Security Business Consulting Co., Ltd., a premier security solutions firm based in Shanghai, China, ordered a total of 50 ViewScans last year. The firm took delivery of 20 of the 50 portals some time ago, and placed a few at the Macao Police Bureau. Two additional units were delivered personally by the View Systems representatives during this trip. The ViewScans purchased by SZSBC have been gaining positive attention in China, which led to their utilization for this prestigious event.
The Charm of Macao 10 Year Anniversary Celebration was presented by the Office of Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan Affairs, Ministry of Culture and P.R. China, and was organized by the Macao SAR Government Informational Bureau and the Cultural Affairs Bureau of the Macao SAR Government. Macao is located in southern China on the west side of the Pearl River Delta, sixty kilometers across the water from Hong Kong. For centuries, the cosmopolitan city of Macao has been a center for the fusion of Eastern and Western cultures. On December 20, 1999, Macao returned to the administrative control of the People's Republic of China (Source: www.culturalink.gov.cn). Also during this celebration, government inaugurations took place; this year, President Hu Jintao swore in Macao SAR Chief Executive Fernando Chui Sai On and other principal officials (Source: www.china.org.cn).
Gunther Than, CEO of View Systems, states, "The ViewScan units performed flawlessly. The utilization of the ViewScan units was authorized personally by the Chief Executive of Macao. The celebration drew intensive media coverage and was broadcast on Chinese television. I was pleased and proud to be a part of this momentous and revered celebration. We plan to post photographs from the event on our website within the next few days. Please visit us at www.viewsystems.com."
