HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., April 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sentry Technology
Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: SKVY) announced today that B&Q, the most
successful and innovative home improvement retailer in the UK, has teamed up
with Intrepid Security, Sentry's UK integration partner to install
SentryVision(R) SmartTrack systems in approximately 20 stores. This follows
the initial test and evaluations that took place in six stores in late 2001.
B&Q, which is owned by Kingfisher, has been in business for over 32 years.
It is a rapidly growing retailer in the UK with over 300 B&Q Supercentres and
B&Q Warehouses with additional store openings planned for 2002.
"We began installing SentryVision(R) SmartTrack systems at B&Q in late
2001" stated Noel Verbruggen Managing Director of Intrepid Security. "The
performance of SmartTrack has exceeded our customer's expectations, beating
the competition in a head to head evaluation. SmartTrack allows robotic, CCTV
monitoring of all aisles with a traveling ceiling mounted carriage utilizing
two PTZ domes which eliminates blind spots in even the largest stores."
"Our success at B&Q through Intrepid is a clear signal that our
international strategy of using select system integrators for sales,
installation and service is paying off," said Peter L. Murdoch, President and
C.E.O. at Sentry Technology Corporation. "We are thrilled by the results at
B&Q and pleased with their selection of our SmartTrack system over competitive
offerings that were evaluated by one of Europe's leading retailers.
Sentry Technology Corporation designs, manufactures, sells and installs a
complete line of Radio Frequency (RF) and Electro-Magnetic (EM) EAS systems
and Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) solutions. The CCTV product line
features SentryVision(R), a proprietary, patented traveling Surveillance
System. The company's products are used by retailers to deter shoplifting and
internal theft and by industrial and institutional customers to protect assets
and people. The recent partnership with Dutch A&A Holding BV expands the
Company's product offering to include RFID and proximity Access Control
solutions. For further information please visit our website at
