BALTIMORE, Nov. 18, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- View Systems, Inc. (OTCBB:VYST), a front line security and surveillance company, announced today that interest in the Visual First Responder long range video systems continues to swell as demand for live presentations hit all time highs.
Over the past several weeks, View Systems' team of engineers has traveled extensively holding live presentations of the HAZMAT camera. Highlights of these events include:
-- West Virginia Office of Emergency Services -- Demonstration for
the State Coordinator and his technical assistants in Big Chimney,
WV. This is one of 8 teams in WV. The WV team structure for
regional response is the new model for sates to use.
-- 34th CST is the National Guard Civil Support Team in Virginia. A
demonstration there for the unit commander and survey team was
very well received. The leadership for the team also witnessed a
subsequent demonstration by one of our dealers.
-- The Solon Fire Department in Ohio -- Demonstration to the HAZMAT
team leaders was a great success in performance of the system. The
unit was seen giving reliable signal all through the station house
and the utility rooms in the basement.
-- The Mock Disaster 2004 was in Moundsville, VW. It is an annual
event for first responders to practice and witness new technology
from vendors. The National Corrections and Law Enforcement
Training and Technology Center put on the event. The VFR was a
success here partly due to the system's inclusion in the terrorism
event simulation. In attendance were several of the WVOES team
members. The system performed very well and was complimented by
the actual survey team members as being steady and very fast to
deploy.
-- The Charlotte NC FD had the VFR Demonstration after seeing the
competitor's product weeks before. The department team members and
chiefs were very impressed at the VFR's ability to send the video
over long distances. They mentioned that the other system failed
after about 50 feet.
"These presentations are the only true way to show the full potential and capability of this technology," commented CEO Gunther Than. "These demonstrations are having a compound effect as word is rapidly spreading throughout the industry among government agencies, fire departments, first responder teams and distributors. We are meeting with GPCA Joint Venture to discuss orders for the Coast Guard. Moving forward, we will work aggressively with nationwide tier one security providers to expand distribution and increase sales of this in-demand product."
