DirectView Receives Purchase Order From Major New York City Hotel

NEW YORK, October 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

DirectView Holdings, Inc. (OTC: DIRV) ("DirectView" or the "Company"), a company focused on ownership and management of leading video and security technology companies, announced today that it has received a purchase order from one of New York City's largest hotels for security upgrades.

The company will be providing equipment and services to further augment existing security infrastructure at the site. Due to the sensitive nature of the precise work involved as well as the illustrious reputation of the hotel, the company will refrain from identifying the entity by name or exact location.

Roger Ralston, DirectView Holdings, CEO commented, "It is an honor to be chosen by this prestigious entity for this security upgrade to help fortify this location. In this highly security-conscious environment, we are very happy to be this hotel's choice when it comes to the security of their staff and guests. This is just one of many NYC locations our team is currently working on at this time."

Echoing Mr. Ralston's final thought, recent governmental appropriations suggest that much of the security infrastructure and equipment put in place in reaction to the World Trade Center attacks of 9/11 has become outdated, suggesting that a security equipment product upgrade cycle may be getting traction in the New York City hospitality sector, with DirectView at the table.

An indication of the need for upgrades to existing security equipment in New York is news that more than $24 million in federal funding was recently awarded to New York for safety and security deployment. Those grants complement a total $54 million included in the FY 2017 New York State Budget to beef up security and protect New Yorkers.

Top-tier hotels with deep pockets and large legacy investments in brand development such as DirectView's newest recent project (a global luxury player worth nearly $23 billion) may also be scrambling to reduce legal damages. A Bar Association study found that the average settlement in suits specifically related to insufficient security on premises at a hotel was over $1.2 million, which doesn't even include damages to the brand's reputation or cultural cache.

Between lawsuit damages, consumer reputations for poor security, and the specter of heightened geopolitical event risk, management believes New York City hotels are ripe for a healthy upgrade cycle that may have material implications for the Company's top-line performance over coming quarters.
