RONKONKOMA, N.Y., Dec. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sentry Technology
Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: SKVY) announced today that Palm Beach
Public Library has selected Sentry Technology to supply up to 60
QuickCheck(TM) self-service kiosks over a three year period with 20 units
to be installed in the first quarter of 2007. The total value of the
contract is expected to be in excess of $600,000. Sentry was chosen over
five other vendors as a result of QuickCheck's feature-rich hardware and
software. Other QuickCheck(TM) orders were received in the fourth quarter
of 2006 from Concordia University, Brock University, Keene Memorial Library
Fredericton, Greater Victoria, Ames, Loyola, Cranberry, Dunedin, Boynton
Beach, Siouxland and Hastings Public Libraries for a total of 81 units.
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 very pleased to be selected as the self-service supplier for
Palm Beach Public Library," said Peter L. Murdoch, President and CEO of
Sentry Technology Corporation. "The public bid process is extremely
thorough. Being selected from among such a strong field of bidders is
further confirmation of the value of QuickCheck(TM). Orders for our library
products have grown more than 40% in 2006 compared to 2005 and we expect
this trend will continue next year."
Sentry Technology Corporation designs, manufactures, sells and installs
a complete line of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) solutions,
