RONKONKOMA, N.Y., Feb. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sentry Technology
Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: SKVY) announced today, the receipt of new
contracts for its QuickCheck(TM) library patron self-service system from the
Calgary Public Library and the Greater Victoria Public Library totaling
approximately $335,000.
QuickCheck(TM) operates in a similar fashion to a bank ATM. Patrons gain
access to the library's circulation software via a user card and touch screen
video monitor. A barcode or RFID chip on the book is read, security functions
performed and a receipt is printed to tell the patron what books have been
borrowed and when they are due to be returned. Once the process is complete,
the patron exits the library through the security system without any
intervention by library staff. The entire process is fast, user friendly and
frees library staff from the circulation desk to perform higher level tasks.
The systems include statistical usage report software as well as remote
diagnostic control and management of the QuickCheck(TM) over a local network
and via the Internet.
"We are very pleased that our library sales team is continuing to win
important QuickCheck(TM) contracts in open public bids," said Peter Murdoch,
President and CEO for Sentry Technology Corporation. "Sentry is bidding
several million dollars in library business across North America and we expect
that this segment of our business will continue to grow."
Sentry Technology Corporation designs, manufactures, sells and installs a
complete line of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) solutions, Electro-Magnetic
(EM) and RFID based Library Management systems as well as Radio Frequency (RF)
and Electro-Magnetic (EM) EAS systems. The CCTV product line features the
SentryVision(R) SmartTrack system, a proprietary, patented traveling
Surveillance System. The Company's products are used by libraries to secure
