INTRODUCTION

On May 7, 2008, Mr. Gunther Than, who was the 100% owner of our Series A Preferred stock on that date, consented to, and the Board of Directors of View Systems, Inc. (the “Board”) approved , a reverse split of 80:1 of the issued and outstanding of the common stock as soon as practicable possible to allow View Systems to move forward with needed financings, debt conversion , and to further develop our business operations.

We anticipate issuing approximately 20,000,000 shares of common stock to raise up to $2,000,000 of which approximately $1,000,000 will be applied to reduce current debt obligations and the balance applied to working capital. There is no guarantee that we be able to raise any particular amount of funds. In all likelihood, we will be offering the shares ourselves without the benefit of investment banking assistance.  We anticipate that we will offer our common stock in a transaction exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D.

The proposed reverse split is not intended to take the Company private.    The proposed reverse split, when effective, will not change our authorized shares of common stock or par value.   Except for any changes as a result of the treatment of fractional shares, each shareholder who owns 80 or more shares should hold the same percentage of common stock outstanding immediately following the reverse stock split as the shareholder did immediately prior to the reverse stock split.   

In a subsequent action by the Board and 100% of our Series A Preferred stockholders, the Company will change its name to Tetra Energy Resources, Inc.  The Company is applying for a new CUSIP number, symbol and name change.  The Company will continue to sell security products and look for merger and acquisition opportunities.

Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) 78.320 and our bylaws provide that any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, if before or after the action, a written consent is signed by stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting power.  NRS 78.350 provides that the record date is the first date on which a valid, written consent is delivered in accordance with NRS 78.320.   Accordingly, the record date for stockholders entitled to vote on these matters is May 7, 2008 (the “Record Date”).    On the Record Date we had 98,398,422 shares of common stock outstanding and 7,171,725 shares of Series A Preferred stock.  The approval and ratification by the stockholders for the matters voted upon will become effective twenty calendar days from the mailing date of this information statement.  We anticipate that this information statement will be mailed on or about July _____ , 2008.  After the twenty-day period, our executive officers will complete any necessary procedures to effect the approved corporate actions.

 CHANGE OF NAME

We are changing our name to Tetra Energy Resources, Inc .., which we believe gives us more flexibility to pursue different business opportunities. The name change to “Tetra” reflects that we have four (as in the Greek root “tetra”) possible business options: (1) continue in the homeland security business; (2) expand into the oil and gas industry or alternative energy business;  (3) become a publicly traded shell company; or (4) expand into another opportunity as one is presented and feasible.  For example, we recently received a proposal to diversify our business into oil and gas exploration.  Two of our significant shareholders are also oil and gas investors.  We have not previously disclosed plans to enter the oil and gas industry or any other industry because no firm plan has been presented, and other potential uses for our company present themselves from time to time.  Therefore, the reasoning behind the timing of the name change is simply to begin the positioning of the Company for an endeavor that is broader than the homeland security business in which we are currently engaged. We are not decided on any of these options and have not entered into any firm agreement with any party on any of the above business options.

THE REVERSE SPLIT

We will effect a one-for- eighty (1:80) reverse split of our issued common stock.  At May 7, 2008,

there were 98,398,422 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. The effect of the reverse-

split is that each 80 shares of our common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date

(the "Old Shares") will be automatically converted into one (1) share of our common stock (the "New

Shares"), reducing the number of outstanding shares of our common stock to approximately 1,229,980 shares, subject to rounding.  Fractional shares will be rounded up.

The effective date for the reverse split is anticipated to be on or about July ________ , 2008. Our common stock will be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board at the post-split price on the Effective Date.   Prior to the

Effective Date, we will announce the new trading symbol for our common stock on the OTC Bulletin

Board which will reflect the post-split trading.   The New Shares will be fully paid and non-assessable.  The

New Shares will have the same voting rights and rights to dividends and distributions and will be identical

in all other respects to the Old Shares.

The reverse stock split will have the following effects upon our common stock:

1.

The number of shares owned by each holder of common stock will be reduced eighty fold;

2.

The number of shares of our common stock which will be issued and outstanding after the reverse stock split will be reduced from 98,398,422 shares of our common stock to approximately 1,229,980 shares, subject to rounding.

3.

The per share loss and net book value of our common stock will be increased because there will be a lesser number of shares of our common stock outstanding;

4.

The stated capital on our balance sheet attributable to the common stock will be decreased 80 times  its present amount and the additional paid-in capital account will be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is decreased;

5.  

The total number of shareholders will not change as a result of the reverse-split; and

6 ..

All outstanding convertible securities and options entitling the holders thereof to purchase shares of common stock will enable such holders to purchase, upon exercise thereof, 80 times fewer of the number of shares of common stock which such holders would have been able to purchase upon exercise.

Reasons for and Possible Consequences of  the Reverse Split

Our board of directors believes that our current capital structure is inappropriate for our present and future needs. We have 100,000,000 shares of common stock authorized and 98,398,422 of common stock issued and outstanding.  We also have 10,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred stock authorized, which is convertible into common stock.  We also have approximately $1,000,000 in debt obligations that we would like to convert into equity, if agreeable to those creditors, and we are in need of cash to finance our current operations.  In addition, our current share price is between $0.01 and $0.02 per share.  If we sold all of our unissued common stock for $0.02 per share, we would realize approximately $32,000. Therefore, under our current capitalization structure, we do not have enough authorized common shares to achieve any of our goals.  We have survived by minimizing our operations and expenses and from receiving capital infusions from several of our directors.  In the opinion of the Board, we either have to greatly increase our authorized common shares, or we need to reverse split our common stock.

3

If we authorized additional shares, we feel that we convey the wrong impression that too many cheap shares of our common stock could be issued, thereby decreasing potential stockholder value. For example, if we have fewer shares of our common stock issued as proposed in the reverse split, our stock price could be higher and attract a different type of investor looking for long-term growth and not a quick run-up in the value of low price stock. However, stockholders should note that the effect of the reverse split upon the market price for our common stock cannot be accurately predicted and that an increase in our share price is not a certainty. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the market price of our common stock immediately after a reverse split will be maintained for any period of time. Moreover, because some investors may view the reverse split negatively, there can be no assurance that the reverse split will not adversely impact the market price of our common stock or, alternatively, that the market price following the reverse split will either exceed or remain in excess of the current market price.

Another reason for the reverse split is to reduce the number of outstanding shares in an effort to increase the market value of the remaining outstanding shares. In approving the reverse split, the board of directors and our majority shareholder considered that the Company's common stock may not appeal to brokerage firms that are reluctant to recommend lower priced securities to their clients. Investors may also be dissuaded from purchasing lower priced stocks because the brokerage commissions, as a percentage of the total transaction, tend to be higher for such stocks. Moreover, the analysts at many brokerage firms do not monitor the trading activity or otherwise provide coverage of lower priced stocks. The Board also believes that most investment funds are reluctant to invest in lower priced stocks.  It should also be noted that the liquidity of our common stock might be adversely affected by the reverse split given the reduced number of shares of our common stock that would be outstanding after the reverse split. The Board anticipates, however, that the expected higher market price as a result of the reverse split will reduce, to some extent, the negative effects on the liquidity and marketability of our common stock inherent in some of the policies and practices of institutional investors and brokerage houses described above.

However, the effect of the reverse split upon the market price for the Company's common stock cannot be predicted with certainty, and the history of similar stock split combinations for companies in like circumstances is varied. There can be no assurance that the market price per share of the Company's common stock after the reverse split will rise in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of common stock outstanding resulting from the reverse split. The market price of the Company's common stock may also be based on its performance and other factors, some of which may be unrelated to the number of shares outstanding.  If the market price of the Company's Common Stock declines after the Reverse Split, the percentage decline as an absolute number and as a percentage of the Company's overall capitalization may be greater than would occur in the absence of a Reverse Split.

In addition, it is anticipated that the Company will be issuing additional common shares to creditors in exchange for the retirement of debt obligations and to investors in exchange for cash, which may have negative effect on the price of the common stock to the extent that such shares may be sold in Rule 144 transactions. The issuance of additional common stock after the revere split will be dilutive to existing common stockholders, but the Board is cognizant that the interests of common stockholders would also be diluted in the alternative scenario if we increased the authorized common stock and then issued additional shares to achieve our debt conversion and capital financing goals.

There is no assurance, however, that a higher market price will encourage more broker-dealers or investors to become involved in our common stock. Nevertheless, we believe that a reverse split is preferable to an increase in the authorized common shares because, as a general rule, potential investors who might consider making investments in our company may be unwilling to do so when we have a large number of shares issued and outstanding and our price per share is in the sub-penny range.  A reduction in the total outstanding shares may, without any assurance, make our capitalization structure more attractive.

Anti-Takeover Effects

The reverse stock split, after being effectuated, will have the effect of decreasing the number of authorized and issued common stock while leaving unchanged the number of authorized shares of common stock.  We will continue to have 100 million shares of authorized common stock after the reverse split. However, while the total number of authorized shares will not change, after the Effective Date of the reverse stock split, the number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock effectively will be increased significantly by the reverse split because the 98,398,422 shares outstanding prior to the reverse split, approximately 98.4% of the 100 million authorized shares, will be reduced to approximately 1,229,980 shares, or 1.2% of the 100 million authorized shares.

However, we also have 10,000,000 shares of Series A preferred stock that are convertible into common stock and have voting rights on all shareholder matters on a 7:1 basis. In the aggregate, 70,000,000 shares of Series A preferred stock are convertible into common stock and have voting rights, and, in any event, Mr. Than holds a majority of the Series A preferred stock. Therefore, after the reverse split of common stock is declared effective, a hostile bidder still could not effect a change in control without Mr. Than’s consent.

In the future, if additional authorized common shares are issued, it may have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share, as well as the stock ownership and voting rights, of the currently outstanding shares of common stock. At this time, the Board of Directors plans to issue 2,000,000 shares of common stock from the effective increase in the number of our authorized but unissued shares generated by the reverse stock split. If these 2,000,000 common shares are issued, we would have approximately 3.2% of our authorized common stock issued.
