Every storage unit deserves its own layer of protection. Sentinel’s unit alarm systems give operators and customers confidence that every space is individually secured, monitored, and connected to the broader site network.
Whether it’s a small metro facility or a large regional site, our modular alarm design scales effortlessly — providing individual protection for hundreds of units with the same reliability as the first.
⦁ Automatic arming/disarming via access control PINs
⦁ Event-based alerts for forced entry or tampering
⦁ Individual status indication on Door Status Boards (DSBs)
⦁ Optional integration with CCTV and lighting systems for complete event verification
⦁ Reed Switches: Floor-mounted for roller doors or surface-mounted for swing doors, detecting any unauthorised door movement.
⦁ Door Control Boards (DCBs): Manage communication between sensors and the control system, with options for internal or weatherproof enclosures.
⦁ Power & Wiring Harnesses: 12 V DC power per every five devices with earth cable and shielded data line for interference-free performance.
⦁ Override Switches: Allow staff to temporarily bypass alarm zones for maintenance or approved access.
⦁ Zone Expanders: Add capacity for multi-building or multi-level installations without re-wiring the core panel.
Sends alarm events directly to Sentinel’s Australian-based monitoring team for immediate response.
