The app enables an owner or a user granted access to a Sentian enabled home, to interact with all the system capabilities including managing the intruder alarm system, control home automation devices, view and control cameras, camera archive footage and camera cloud event footage. NOTES: * The Sentian app is only usable by individuals with access to an estate running the Sentian InTouch and OnSight embedded system. * Some ISP's have DNS resolution issues for local WAN addresses, we then recommend changing your DNS provider to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 rather than the router assigned one.
