## What is Sentinel?

Sentinel is the fastest way to find, activate, and configure IP security cameras and recorders — right from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

Built for installers, integrators, and IT teams, Sentinel replaces the clunky desktop-only vendor tools with a modern app that just works on the equipment already in your pocket.

DISCOVER EVERYTHING ON THE NETWORK
• Finds ONVIF and SADP (Hikvision-compatible) devices in seconds
• Uses standard multicast, so it sees devices even when their IP is outside your current subnet
• Live results as devices respond — no manual refresh
• Shows model, firmware, MAC, serial, and current network settings at a glance

ACTIVATE NEW DEVICES IN SECONDS
• Bring brand-new, uninitialized cameras online without a laptop or serial cable
• Set a strong admin password with a built-in strength meter
• Encrypted activation handled securely on device

RECONFIGURE THE NETWORK, ON SITE
• Change a device's IP address, subnet mask, and gateway
• Switch between static IP and DHCP
• Fix a misconfigured camera without unplugging or factory resets
• Note: discovery works across subnets, but changing settings or activating a device requires being on the same subnet as it

SECURE BY DESIGN
• Credentials stored in the iOS/macOS Keychain — never in plain text
• Password policy enforcement to keep every device hardened
• Read-only ONVIF discovery; changes are explicit and deliberate

WORKS WHERE YOU DO
• Native SwiftUI app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac
• Clean, fast interface designed for the field
• Built-in troubleshooting guidance when a device won't appear

WHY SENTINEL
Commissioning a site used to mean dragging a laptop up a ladder, hunting for a serial cable, and juggling one clunky utility per brand. Sentinel puts discovery, activation, and network configuration in a single app that fits in your pocket — so you can walk a site, bring devices online, and hand off a hardened, correctly-addressed network before you pack up.

IMPORTANT
Sentinel requires Local Network permission to discover devices. On iOS this is requested on first scan — please allow it, or scanning cannot work. Sentinel is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any camera manufacturer. ONVIF is a trademark of the ONVIF consortium.
