RONKONKOMA, N.Y., July 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sentry Technology
Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: SKVY) announced today, the signing of a
contract to install SentryVision(R) SmartTrack(TM) traveling CCTV systems
in 33 Steve & Barry's(R) stores plus its distribution center. Steve &
Barry's is one of America's leading apparel retailers with more than 200
locations nationwide. The program includes OperationalVideo(TM), Sentry's
remote security and business management solution. Installation will be
completed by mid-November.
OperationalVideo(TM) delivers real-time video images over the internet
to help Steve & Barry's control safety and security as well as remote
viewing of store operations, merchandising, signage, displays, pricing and
employee procedure compliance. Steve & Barry's is growing at a rapid rate
with an additional 75 locations planned for 2007. Sentry expects to install
SmartTrack(TM) in all Steve & Barry's locations following the initial
rollout.
Steve & Barry's will have access to all store operations from its
executive offices in Port Washington, NY and remote security monitoring
will be performed by staff in Port Washington and other offices. Each store
will also have security personnel who walk the floor interacting with staff
and customers while maintaining control of the SmartTrack(TM) system using
a wireless PDA. Video is managed via the SentryVision(R) Server, a network
device that provides real-time remote viewing and user passwords to manage
hierarchal control of the system.
The SentryVision(R) Server is equipped with mapping software so that
users can easily find the area of the store that is of interest. Unlike
conventional camera systems, there are no blind spots with SmartTrack(TM).
Dual PTZ cameras are positioned to see around obstructions simply by moving
the camera carriage along a ceiling mounted track to exactly the required
viewing angle. Regardless of the number of stores being viewed, there is no
searching for the right camera to see an activity or display. Intuitive
desktop controls deliver the necessary results simply by clicking left for
left, right for right, plus zoom in or zoom out. The system combines
exceptional sophistication with ease of use that serves both security
personnel and business managers.
With OperationalVideo(TM), retailers are able to see business in
real-time without leaving their desks. Travel costs are reduced and
productivity is greatly enhanced. The system also accommodates multiple
users so that product launches, end cap displays, advertising compliance
and customer traffic flows can all be monitored via the network.
"We are very excited to work with an innovative market leader like
Steve & Barry's," said Peter L. Murdoch, President and CEO of Sentry
Technology Corporation. "OperationalVideo(TM) video is a market leading,
flexible video solution that will provide value to Steve & Barry's today
and in the future as the company continues to grow and develop the need for
additional features."
