SentryPODS CONNECTIVITY
The key features of the SentryPODS system are its speed of mobility, deployment, and autonomy. While a SentryPODS unit can serve as a Video capturing endpoint on an existing traditional LTE or Ethernet network, the ability to deploy rapidly and function autonomously is where the greater value of SentryPODS resides. A wide variety of power and connectivity options are available and can be tailored to the specific mission requirements, providing a vast array of deployment options.
Network connectivity can occur with the following options:
- Cell tower coverage, LTE (default)
- Local Wi-Fi; SentryPODS can serve as a Wi-Fi hotspot to provide internet connectivity to local devices such as tablets or laptops utilizing digital security certificates to ensure secure transmission of data
- Hard-wire connection (traditional Ethernet LAN/WAN network environment)
- SATCOM service provider
- Point-to-point wireless connection (Cambium Network radios, for example, long-distance wireless connection)
Power can be sourced from the following:
- Existing AC 110V power (grid or generator)
- Internal batteries (24-48-hours on short term deployments and are hot-swappable as needed)
- Solar power (SentryPODS standalone unit available or can be connected to existing arrays)
A typical SentryPODS deployment will occur where there is no existing conventional network, but cell connectivity is available. Quite often, cellular connectivity is more cost-effective than building out a remote network. In this scenario, each SentryPODS unit will have DHS-encrypted secure connectivity using digital security certificates for end-to-end secure connections through the web via multiple cell carrier options with redundant LTE failover between carriers.
SentryPODS ARE MOBILE
- Can be deployed along remote sections of the border wall using cell coverage and solar power
- While speed and mobility is key, SentryPODS are most recognized for independent and rapid deployment in austere or autonomous environments without the conventional resources of network connectivity or power
- RAS (Rapid Installation System) for expedient installations, either vehicle-mounted, flat or cylindrical surfaces or portable tripod mast-mounted solutions
- Data can be fed wirelessly/locally (internal wireless LAN) to the vehicle or agent for capture on a local tablet/smart device or sent via a cellular link to the web via a public WAN connection
- Many other scenarios can be addressed through a combination of the available features and options of SentryPODS, with emphasis on the fact that the key features can be managed remotely combined with the added ability of real-time management and remote notifications
- SentryPODS is equipped with a hot-swappable IP68 NEMA power enclosure that provides real-time monitoring for power status as well as remote notifications for power failover or environment changes and temperature or state of input or output terminals.
- Wall-mounted units can utilize top-mounted cameras to keep the unit and solar panel behind the protection of the wall
- SentryPODS are currently deployed across the country in a wide array of institutions, installations, and industries. The possible security applications are unlimited.
