SmartTrack is configured with either one or two fully programmable PTZ domes capable of six programmed tours and 60 presets per camera carriage. The carriage travels at speeds up to 12 feet per second and provides 360 degree unobstructed views to eliminate blind spots. This allows targets to be automatically observed and recorded using high-resolution video with or without a system operator 24/7. SmartTrack also provides on-screen speed, distance, control options and diagnostic displays along with position referencing. These features provide the operator instant information as to camera location and system status for optimum security management. The operator can quickly change carriage lateral speeds along the track and control PTZ functions to respond to problem situations. Programmable inputs such as door contacts and motion sensors can instruct the camera to travel to a fixed position automatically. All SentryVision(R) track surveillance systems are covert. The cameras, carriage and track are hidden behind a shatterproof mirrored or tinted polycarbonate enclosure. The enclosure options allow enhanced viewing in a wide range of light conditions. "The use of traveling CCTV solutions has been expanding rapidly in all market sectors," said Peter Murdoch, Chairman and C.E.O. at Sentry Technology Corporation. "The fully programmable 360 degree track mounted cameras give facility management the ability to observe all aisles, loading docks, blind spots, and merchandise handling areas with minimal staff and significantly fewer cameras. SentryVision(R) makes CCTV economically feasible in even the largest facilities." "We are very excited by the opportunity SmartTrack provides for the upgrading of more than 1000 SentryVision(R) systems currently installed largely in retail stores and distribution centers. Sentry also has installations in factories, internet data centers, parking garages and correctional institutions. The new carriage can be retro-fitted onto the existing SentryVision(R) ceiling mount track providing improved functionality and longer useful life." 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. The recent partnership with Dutch A&A Holding BV expands the company's product offering to include RFID and proximity Access Control solutions.
