BALTIMORE, March 17, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- View Systems, Inc. (OTCBB:VSYM), a security and tele-data solutions provider, announced today that the company continues to receive and fill orders for its headline products, both domestically and internationally.
Over the past few months, purchase orders for the ViewScan Concealed Weapons Detection System totaling over $145,000 have been received from, to name a few, a courthouse in western Maryland, a correctional mental health center in Maryland, a correctional treatment facility in New Jersey and a Sheriff's office in Georgia. The Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services also purchased a set of units in July which were placed in several correctional facilities around the state. Orders for ViewScan extended warranty plans, refresher training programs and LAW Handheld Metal Detectors also continue to pour in.
View's authorized dealers have also placed multiple orders for end users within the United States and abroad. Increased global interest in View's cutting-edge security product line comes mostly from the efforts of international dealers promoting the items to their end users. Belcom, one of View's most trusted international dealers and business partners, has been instrumental in generating leads and moving product. Belcom, a subsidiary of the Belhasa Group of Companies, represents View Systems' products in the Middle East, Africa and Asia regions, and has placed ViewScan units in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, UAE, India and Pakistan. In late 2009, Belcom announced a ViewScan sale to MphasiS, (a Hewlett Packard Company), to cover its five locations in India. Considering that MphasiS hand-picked the ViewScan confirms the unit's reliability and technological competency.
View Systems has also entered the staffed equipment rental circuit, and was hired yet again by a major banking firm to provide staffed ViewScan rentals for their two shareholder meetings. Multiple ViewScan and LAW units were rented for the prestigious events. Repeat requests from high-profile clients for ViewScan rentals are a testament to the functionality and reliability of the product.
In addition to ViewScan sales, View's Network Services Division continues to be selected on a contract basis to run fiber optic pathways for multi-dwelling units. The company has also submitted bids to other reputable apartment complexes and local businesses for surveillance units and camera installations. In fact, View was recently chosen to equip a prominent apartment building in downtown Baltimore with a new, updated digital surveillance system.
View's latest product, the MINI Sim Cam, is also gaining interest in the marketplace. The MINI, which stands for Mobile Intelligent Network Informer, is a wireless watchdog communication device that checks for intrusion into uninhabited areas like foreclosed houses, storage spaces, and vacation homes. It's a portable device that senses motion and sends text and picture messages to a user's cell phone. The product retails for $299.00 and can be purchased online by visiting www.minisimcam.com. View has reached an agreement with Diversified Web Holdings under which DWH will spearhead a marketing campaign via conventional and Internet marketing channels to penetrate the market of properties that have been left vacant or abandoned due to the economical crisis. View's MINI Sim Cam can provide a link directly to homeowners and property managers, as well as to a central station for 24/7 monitoring and security.
Gunther Than, CEO of View Systems, states, "Aside from the widely-successful ViewScan Concealed Weapons Detection System, we recently introduced a new product called the 'MINI' which is quickly gaining traction. In addition, we have found that our work in the fiber optics installation arena has begun to pay off. Several opportunities and contracts have been presented to us and we are optimistic about the ongoing potential of this area of the business. We've also uncovered new sales opportunities in video surveillance and access control systems. Our ViewScan marketing efforts continue to be a paramount focal point, reaching out to schools, courthouses, correctional facilities and other high-profile buildings."
