About View Systems Inc.
View Systems specializes in concealed weapons detection systems, emergency response camera systems, and nuclear sensing technology. The SecureScan Concealed Weapons Detection System is the only PC-based unit on the market today that can visually locate threat objects on the body of a person passing through the portal while ignoring harmless, non-threat objects. The handheld wireless VFR Visual First Responder camera increases safety and reduces response time by allowing incident commanders to view in real-time what the entry team sees. View's Nuclear Sensors can be integrated with both aforementioned products, or can be used independently to detect shielded nuclear or radiological materials including "dirty bombs."
