RONKONKOMA, N.Y., Nov. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sentry Technology
Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: SKVY) announced today that the Calgary
Public Library placed an order for an additional eight QuickCheck(TM)
self-service kiosks. This is the fourth order for QuickCheck(TM) systems by
Calgary following a public tender process. When the installation of the
latest order is complete the library will have twenty-two self-service
systems in service.
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 pleased with the continuing success of our self-service library
program," said Peter L. Murdoch, President and CEO of Sentry Technology
Corporation. "We have 38 QuickCheck(TM) units on back order to be delivered
during the balance of 2007 valued at approximately $700,000. Both our
library and video businesses remain strong with the expectation for
continued growth in 2008."
Sentry designs, manufactures, sells and installs a complete line of
Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) solutions, Electro-Magnetic (EM) and RFID
based Library Management systems including QuickCheck(TM) patron
self-service kiosks. 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

system. OperationalVideo(TM), a Sentry innovation uses SmartTrack(TM) to
deliver real-time images over the internet to help retailers control safety
and security as well as remote viewing of store operations, merchandising,
