How to use Sentinel

1. Start

1. Use a phone with Android 8.0 or newer. A device you no longer carry is enough.
2. Plug in a charger if it will stay as a camera.
3. Open Sentinel and pick one mode. Do not turn everything on the first time.

2. Home

1. Aim the phone at a door or a room. Front or back camera, your choice.
2. Mark a motion zone. Cover the rest with a mask, for example a neighbour's window.
3. Turn on loop recording. Old clips drop off when the space you set runs out.
4. A person, motion and a loud sound are judged on that phone. The picture is not sent to a model we host.

3. Live view

1. On the camera phone, show the code or the link.
2. On the second phone, open it in a browser.
3. From there you can see the picture and, if you allow it, talk, use the light or sound the siren.
4. The link expires. Do not leave it in a message after you are done.

This website's address does not open your camera. You need the one-time link from the phone.

4. Drive

1. Mount the phone so it sees the road and has sky for GPS.
2. Turn on drive mode. Recording runs in a loop.
3. The screen shows speed and heading. A shock keeps a mark of the event.
4. The screen can turn off. Recording does not have to stop, and the phone heats less.

5. Parked

1. Leave the phone in the car and arm the watch. There is a short delay so you can get out.
2. Tilt and shock raise an alert. GPS shows whether the car left the parking spot.
3. The alert goes only where you type it: SMS, Telegram, a webhook or email. An empty field sends nothing.

6. What stays with you

• The recording is on the phone. Delete it in the app, or by uninstalling.
• There is no account. There is no film library of ours.
• Live view may use a temporary tunnel to pass the router. The tunnel does not keep an archive.
• A PIN can guard the stop button, so someone at the phone cannot switch protection off in one tap.
