Sentinel vs WiFi Aid Lite

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.

Optimized for iPhone Duo. Built with the latest SDK, the app fills the entire inner display and automatically adjusts its layout whether the device is folded or open. Internet down or crawling? One tap checks Wi-Fi, DNS and the wider internet in order, then shows which step is failing, the most likely cause and what to try next. Check a single website to tell whether it's that site or your whole connection. Deep Check collects more samples to catch drops that come and go. Every result shows its evidence (DNS, TCP, TLS, response time, IPv4 and IPv6), so you are not guessing or rebooting at random. • Sign-in pages: spots hotel, café and airport Wi-Fi that is connected but still waiting for a browser sign-in • Stability: repeated samples reveal jitter on connections that look fine but feel slow • What to do next: practical steps such as opening the sign-in page, trying a trusted DNS service or moving closer to the router • Check History: compare results over time; records are stored only on this device • Connected Node: with precise location allowed, identifies this Wi-Fi and the node you are connected to Your first complete check, with any tool, needs no purchase. An optional one-time in-app purchase then unlocks unlimited checks with every tool, full history and the before/after comparison after a fix. No subscription. No account, ads, analytics or tracking. Location is used only to identify the Wi-Fi and node, and is processed on this device. Check history is never uploaded.
