RONKONKOMA, N.Y., June 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sentry Technology
Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: SKVY) announced today that the Dallas
Public Library has selected Sentry Technology to supply QuickCheck(TM)
self-service kiosks and electromagnetic security systems over three years
with the majority of the products expected to be installed in the initial
six-month period. The total value of the contract will be in excess of
$700,000. Sentry was chosen as a result of its competitive pricing, feature
rich QuickCheck(TM) hardware and software as well as industry leading
security system designs.
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 system includes statistical usage report software
as well as remote diagnostic tools for management of the QuickCheck(TM)
over a local network and via the internet.
"We are proud of being selected as the self-service supplier for Dallas
Public," said Peter L. Murdoch, President and CEO of Sentry Technology
Corporation. "Sentry has served the library as a security system vendor for
the past 4 years and being chosen to supply additional technology is an
endorsement of our product quality and commitment to customer service."
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 SentryVision(R), SmartTrack, a proprietary, patented
traveling Surveillance System. The Company's products are used by libraries
to secure inventory and improve operating efficiency, by retailers to deter
shoplifting and internal theft and by industrial and institutional
customers to protect assets and people. For further information, please
