Sentinel Plus - Core System

To meet the needs of alarm monitoring operations Monitor Computer Systems presents Sentinel Plus - the most advanced software package of its type.

Sentinel Plus combines simplicity of use with the flexibility to manage any alarm signalling system. The result is a product that can be adapted to the customer's requirements and grow from a single screen system to one with a hundred or more users.

This is the third generation software from Britain's leading supplier, with over 20 years experience of producing resilient alarm monitoring systems.

With one system you can manage a range of transmitting devices from simple alarm systems, to sophisticated remote CCTV systems with hundreds of cameras and detectors. Sentinel Plus can manage multiple area alarm panels, including remote control and multiple transmission paths, while at the same time making the Operator's task of alarm handling as simple and error free as possible.
