WASHINGTON, Oct. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Civitas Group llc, a leading global
homeland and national security strategy and investment firm, today announced
that it will team with Sentry Technology Corporation
(OTC Bulletin Board: SKVY) to develop and market solutions to the homeland
security market.
SentryVision(R) SmartTrack is the only traveling camera system offering
both one and two pan, tilt and zoom CCTV cameras that travel along a ceiling
or wall mounted rail. SmartTrack both improves performance and reduces the
cost of CCTV deployment by adding mobility to camera systems. Using
SmartTrack, security operators can easily circumvent visual obstructions and
more effectively analyze anomalous behavior of people. The product is ideally
suited for application in the public transportation security market.
"Civitas will focus on assisting Sentry to raise awareness of its solution
among security market thought leaders and help the company to establish a
footing in the homeland security market," said Rick Gordon, Vice President of
Civitas Group. "Civitas is pleased to be working with Sentry and believes
that the company's proven SmartTrack traveling camera system can be applied in
many homeland security applications."
Civitas principals that will be working closely with Sentry include Dr.
Parney Albright, former Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security for Science
and Technology and David Howe, former Special Assistant to the President and
Senior Director for Emergency Preparedness and Response at the Homeland
Security Council.
"We are excited about the relationship with Civitas and believe the
company is the right partner to help Sentry develop homeland security sales,"
said Peter L. Murdoch, President and CEO of Sentry Technology Corporation.
"Our prospects for accelerating success in this multibillion dollar burgeoning
market are very high."
