RONKONKOMA, N.Y., July 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sentry Technology
Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: SKVY) announced today the installation of its
SentryVision(R) SmartTrack traveling CCTV systems in Cape Town, South Africa
on The Metro Rail Network to monitor passengers at the junction of bus,
railway and taxi services. SmartTrack will be an integral part of an overall
crime prevention and deterrence program including central management of all
video devices over a network. The SmartTrack system uses patented technology
to transmit video images from two pan, tilt and zoom cameras traveling along
an aluminum rail mounted on the ceiling or wall of a passenger platform. The
camera carriage travels at speeds of up to 13 feet per second and provides
unobstructed views of passenger activity that is not possible with
conventional camera systems. SmartTrack was supplied through Pentagon
Distribution, Sentry Technology's South African distribution partner.
"We are pleased to have SmartTrack included as an important component in
public transportation security," said Peter L. Murdoch, President and CEO of
Sentry Technology Corporation. "There are many other applications where our
proprietary traveling CCTV technology can be applied to help secure public
spaces. The successful installation of SmartTrack on rail platforms in South
Africa marks the beginning of our campaign to solicit business through the
many consulting firms and government agencies in the U.S. involved in Homeland
Security."
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 the proprietary SentryVision(R) SmartTrack 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 Company's acquisition of ID Systems expands
