BALTIMORE, MD--(Marketwire - Apr 18, 2012) - View Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: [ VSYM ]), a weapons detection and access control provider, announced today the company has raised significant capital to clear existing orders and provide the resources to expand the technology and business growth.

View Systems currently has a backlog in excess of $400,000 for Secure Scan Portals and another $120,000 in First Responder Units. Through a new relationship with an Investment Banking Firm in Atlanta, Georgia the company has raised the necessary capital to rapidly manufacture the units to complete its existing backlog. The company will begin manufacturing 40 secure scan portals for existing orders.

View will also earmark funds towards enhancing the Secure Scan portal with Facial Recognition Technology and expanding its sales and marketing operations.

They are providing the capital for us to clear the existing backlog, maintain an inventory of finished goods, and acquire the right personal to guide this company forward. We are seeing increased demand for this technology, we now have the ability to meet the demand."
