Sentry records when an alarm occurs or a person enters the alert area.It overlays your SCADA values on the video and sends your team a short call with the video evidence they need to respond.
110 degree field of view captures the full site without warping. Fewer units needed than traditional 60 to 70 degree trail cams.
Onboard edge computer
02
Runs AI human form detection and pose estimation directly on the device. No cloud round trip, no latency, no internet dependency.
PIR motion sensor
03
Passive infrared detects heat and movement as the first trigger. Activates the camera only when something enters the field.
Integrated SCADA interface
04
Connects to your existing field instruments through standard analog and digital inputs. Reads pump status, pressure, and level data directly.
How the Detection Works
Three layers of filtering before your phone rings
First install, Livingston County
Crew on site, 24 March 2022 · 0:05
Custom alert areas
You define which zones matter. Roads, tree lines, and wildlife paths are excluded. Motion outside the alert zone is ignored entirely.
AI human form detection
A bag, a headlight, a fox, a shadow: none of these pass. Only confirmed human forms trigger the next step.
Pose estimation
Classifies the activity once a human form is confirmed. Standing upright near equipment is one event. Person on the ground with no movement is another.
How the Evidence Gets to You
From the site to your phone in seconds
Once the edge computer confirms a real event, it builds a complete evidence package and sends it over cellular. Here is the path.
Reads your SCADA, does not replace it
Sentry sits beside the system you already trust and adds the one thing it was always missing: a picture with context.
The clip is recorded and stamped
Short video clip and HD stills with SCADA values burned into the frame. Site name, time, pump status, and level in every file.
The package is transmitted
Sent over 5G cellular with automatic LTE fallback.
No Wi-Fi and no site internet required, built for remote locations.
The truck only rolls when it needs to
Every confirmed event replaces a blind dispatch, so your labor spend stays on work that actually needs it.
The Install
Mounted, connected, and reporting in under an hour
How it decides what is real, how fast the alert arrives, and what happens when 5G is weak.
How does Sentry decide what is a real event?
Three layers of filtering happen at the edge before your phone rings. First, custom alert areas exclude roads, tree lines, and wildlife paths. Second, AI human form detection confirms whether the trigger is a person or noise. Third, pose estimation classifies the activity, covering man down detection and inactivity. Only verified human events reach your team.
How fast does the alert arrive after an event?
Seconds. The edge computer processes everything on the device, builds the evidence package, and transmits it over 5G cellular. Your team gets a voice call, an SMS, and an email at the same time, with the clip attached.
Does Sentry require Wi-Fi or site internet?
No. Sentry transmits over 5G cellular with automatic LTE fallback, so it needs no Wi-Fi or site internet.
Does Sentry replace my SCADA system?
No. Sentry reads your SCADA values through standard analog and digital inputs and overlays them on the video frame. Your operators keep the control system and interface they already trust. Sentry adds the picture, not a new control path.
How does Sentry compare to Mission Communications or Omnisite?
Mission Communications and Omnisite provide SCADA telemetry and alarm notification for remote water and wastewater sites. Sentry does not replace them. It adds the visual and human detection layer that telemetry alone cannot provide. If your current system tells you a level is high, Sentry shows you why.
What happens if 5G is not available at my site?
The unit automatically falls back to LTE. No manual switching, no configuration change. Sentry is designed for remote locations where connectivity is limited.
How long does install take?
Under an hour for a typical site. Mount the unit, connect power, optionally wire SCADA inputs, configure alert areas through the customer portal, and run a test trigger. No specialized contractors required.

The clip, the call, and the archive, one monthly fee
No per camera licensing, no separate cellular contract, no surprise line items. One flat monthly fee covers the hardware, the connectivity, the portal, and one year of stored evidence.
