Security technology is an operational asset, not a one-time project. With budgets under pressure, getting full value from video surveillance and access control means keeping those systems ready every day. Managed services make that possible while keeping ownership predictable.
The hidden cost of unmanaged systems
Cameras go offline, recorders fail, storage fills, and devices get bumped out of position. Without monitoring, these problems surface only when someone needs footage that is not there. The cost shows up as lost evidence, emergency repairs, and staff time spent chasing issues.
Continuous system health monitoring
Every Sentinel Managed Services plan includes continuous system health monitoring and critical event notification. Problems are caught early, before they become security gaps.
What monitoring verifies
- Hourly uptime for cameras, recorders, controllers, and readers
- Active recording, not just online status
- Image quality, including blur, obstruction, and tampering
- Data retention against your policy
- Timestamp accuracy so video and access events line up
- HDD and SD card health before storage fails
A plan for every level of engagement
Sentinel Standard, Essential Assurance, gives teams with capable internal staff a professionally deployed and monitored foundation, with expert help at a discounted rate.

Time and resource savings
Managing security systems in house takes dedicated staff, specialized knowledge, and constant attention. A managed service frees your team to focus on the business, while fewer surprises and less downtime keep operations running smoothly across every site.
