Sentian (Pty) Ltd is at the forefront of smart home security aiming to turn your property into an extension of yourself. To give it, and therefore you, perception through the senses of sight, sound and motion detection, among others. To make it ‘sentient’, giving you greater control and insight into the status of your property and your loved ones within, wherever you are. The Sentian app is the most advanced of the available user interfaces into the Sentian InTouch and OnSight home system with push notification support for all the events generated by your home. 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.
