SENTRY CLOUD

The Sentry System regulates movement in a broad variety of facilities from building entrances, offices and computer rooms to libraries, reading rooms and computer suites. 

As a technologically advanced system, Sentry provides customised analytical reports to support the streamlined management of your organisation.

Sentry has been specifically created to optimise workflow and technologies in academic, public and commercial settings. 

Links to existing library systems (Library Management System) and other systems, such as ticketing solutions.

Extensive reporting facilities include member history, transaction, refusal and comparative analysis or single- and two-level usage reports.

Centred on a powerful open-source MySQL client/server database that provides rapid response times for critical access tasks.  

SENTRY BENEFITS

Overcomes system errors with card readers that verify cards against locally held parameters.

Sentry allows each door, at any one time, to be unlocked, card controlled or locked.

Specific control of entrances, exits and spaces so that access maximises security and maintains workflow.

SEAMLESS INTEGRATION

The Sentry Components

Intelligent access control

Whether you have multiple entrances and exits or a combination of turnstiles, pass gates, beam-breaker barriers and electro-mechanically lockable doors, Sentry enables the management of any number of areas or zones.

Access control products can be equipped with controllers featuring combinations of barcode, RFID/NFC card, contact chip card or magnetic stripe readers. Timer settings within Sentry allow these controllers to hold each access point locked, open or on card control to specifically match your exact requirements. 

To access the controlled area, visitors will need a corresponding member record within the system and each member can be assigned access rights to one or more of the entrances and exits. 

Temporary and Day Tickets can be issued to permit access to the facilities or library for a limited period or a single day. The permitted times of access are fully under your control. A number of integrated system facilities can be utilised to cater for cardless visits. 

FEATURES

  • Controls zones for in/out and in only operations

  • Records all entry and exit visits in controlled areas

  • Advanced technology ensures complete security and a personalised system

BENEFITS

  • Members’ access rights can be completely managed by you for an individualised service

  • Temporary and visitor card system available for visitors who don’t have their card or for those with pre-arranged appointments

Resource booking

Our Resource Booking facility is available with Sentry and is highly effective at managing booking and controlling access to areas such as group study and resource rooms in universities or colleges. 

There is also the ability to book spaces such as desks or other defined resources. We supply the technology to control access to spaces as Sentry can interface with devices that control locks. Users can book resources using either a web interface or a mobile app for a more flexible experience. 

Users can access instant room booking at the door which removes the requirement for a member of staff to get involved, improving efficiency for both user and staff member. 

FEATURES

  • Maximises room usage and monitors unused room bookings

  • Comprehensive user reports

BENEFITS

  • Access rights enabled for specific users

Attendance tracker

Attendance tracking is a feature of Sentry and enables you to confirm the attendance of an individual at a particular location or event. 

It can be used to monitor student and class attendance at lectures, delegates at a conference or participants at a sporting event. 

Attendance tracker is integrated into the Sentry system and can track individuals through access control into a building or venue to the location they need to attend. 

In addition, analysis and reports can deliver optimised information that analyses trends or drills down to individuals data to provide you with a complete picture of movement within your building or facilities. 

FEATURES

  • Can be integrated with access control for greater reporting and analysis

  • You get detailed reports on individual attendance records

  • It’s easy to use with the app or a card

  • Verify individuals as they register
