HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., Sept. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ – Sentry Technology Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: SKVY) announced today, the upgrade of SmartTrack Mobile introduced this week at the American Society of Industrial Security (ASIS) conference in New Orleans. SmartTrack Mobile allows the user to view and control video images from SmartTrack, Sentry’s traveling CCTV system using a mobile hand held computer and wireless communication network. The original SmartTrack Mobile product released last year, operates on a wireless Personal Digital Assist (PDA) using Windows CE. The new version now runs on the latest, tablet style wireless computer under Windows XP. SmartTrack Mobile running on Windows XP is significantly faster than the earlier PDA version. The increased speed and computing power offered by the tablet gives the user real time video viewing. Customers are no longer required to sit in front of a video console to manage the SmartTrack system.
“With SmartTrack Remote, customers are free to move about any facility while maintaining full control of all SmartTrack system functions,” said Peter L. Murdoch, President and CEO of Sentry Technology Corporation. “Now that mobile, real time video has been achieved, Sentry is in the process of developing a series of products to sit on top of the SmartTrack Remote software platform. We expect these new products will broaden the market for use of SmartTrack in retail stores”.
Sentry Technology Corporation designs, manufactures, sells and installs a complete line of Radio Frequency (RF) and Electro-Magnetic (EM) EAS systems and Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) solutions. The CCTV product line features SentryVision(R), a proprietary, patented traveling Surveillance System. The Company’s products are used by retailers to deter shoplifting and internal theft and by industrial and institutional customers to protect assets and people.
