Integrations

Cameras, sensors and machines on one screen.

Sentinel connects to the systems already on your site and to the devices in your home. Rules link what the cameras see to what the equipment reports.

Industrial protocols

Read machines and meters, and write back to them, from the same system that watches the floor.

  • Modbus RTU over RS-485 serial
  • Modbus TCP
  • OPC UA client
  • BACnet for building systems
  • MQTT publish and subscribe
  • Digital and analogue I/O through a gateway

Access control

Tie who or what is at the door to what the camera sees, and act on it.

  • Door contacts and electric locks
  • Relay outputs for gates and boom barriers
  • Wiegand and OSDP card readers
  • Intercom and door station events
  • Biometric terminals, matched with face recognition
  • Visitor pre-registration

Sensors and assets

Put non-visual signals on the same timeline as video.

  • Temperature and humidity, including cold-chain limits
  • Power and energy metering
  • Water leak, smoke and gas
  • Vibration and equipment run-state
  • Occupancy and counting sensors
  • Threshold alerts with a clip attached

Residential technologies

For Sentinel Home: one place for the camera and the devices around the door.

  • Matter devices
  • Zigbee sensors, locks and lights
  • Thread devices through a Matter border router
  • RF 433 MHz door, window and panic sensors
  • Wi-Fi smart plugs and sirens
  • Local control that keeps working offline

Connections are configured per site. Tell us the equipment and protocol and we confirm what we will integrate.

Integration engine

Built on Node-RED

Integrations and automations are drawn as visual flows on Node-RED, an open-source tool used widely in industrial and building automation. Your engineers can read a flow, and new devices become a new flow, not a software release.

  • A large library of protocol connectors, so most equipment already has one.
  • Rules such as "after hours, door opens, camera sees a person" are a few connected blocks.
  • Runs on the Sentinel node at your site, with no cloud dependency.

From signal to action

Detect

A camera sees a person, vehicle or zone breach, or a sensor crosses a limit.

Decide

A rule checks time, zone, schedule and whether other signals agree.

Act

Open a gate, sound a siren, switch a light, message a phone or write to a PLC.

Record

The event, clip and action are stored together for audit.
