OperationalVideo™ Installations
Ronkonkoma, New York, February 4,
2008 -- Sentry Technology Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: SKVY) announced
today the successful installation of its OperationalVideo™ security and
business management solution in a total of 35 store locations for two large
national retailers. The total value of
systems installed is approximately $2.5 million. OperationalVideo™ delivers real-time images over the internet
using Sentry’s SmartTrack™ traveling camera system and digital video server to
help control safety and security as well as remote viewing of store operations,
merchandising, signage, displays, pricing and employee procedure
compliance.
Managers now have access to all
store operations from the home office, regional offices and any fixed or mobile
location equipped with an internet connection.
As well, security personnel are able to walk the floor interacting with
staff and customers while maintaining control of the SmartTrack™ system using a
wireless PDA. Video is managed via the
SentryVision® Server, a network device that provides real-time
remote viewing and user passwords to manage hierarchal control of the system.
“Both of our customers have
significantly increased theft apprehension rates and are implementing improved
operational controls in locations using OperationalVideo™,” said Peter L.
Murdoch, President and CEO of Sentry Technology Corporation. “The success of these first installations
has exceeded our expectation. We
anticipate that both initial customers will install systems in greater numbers
in 2008. This represents an opportunity
for millions of dollars of increased revenue over 2007 levels. Now that the company has market proven
OperationalVideo™ results, new sales cycles have begun with several of our
multi-billion dollar retail customers based in the US and Europe.”
Sentry designs, manufactures, sells and installs a complete line of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) solutions, Electro-Magnetic (EM) and RFID based Library Management systems as well as Radio Frequency (RF) and Electro-Magnetic (EM) EAS systems. The CCTV product line features SentryVisionâ, SmartTrack™, a proprietary, patented traveling Surveillance System.
