Brief Description of Centralised Monitoring System for Security System Centralisation:

Sentry is Pima’s state-of-the-art stand-alone Central Monitoring Station decoder. The product is based on Pima’s extensive experience with cost-effective and sophisticated radio monitoring solutions. Sentry has the capacity of receiving radio, telephone and network events from thousands of intruder alarm systems, decoding and relaying them to almost any Monitoring Station Management application. Additional radio coverage can be obtained by adding single or multiple Pima's SAR-100 repeaters. The decoder is supplied in a metal case and can be connected to the Management application using serial communication port (RS-232) or network (Ethernet) TCP/IP.

The digital Sentry Receiver for CMS supports telephone, radio and Ethernet communication.
