Description

SentryHound-Pro™ Ferromagnetic Contraband Security Screener is a single pole (add a 2nd pole for complete walk through) solution to detect unauthorised or illegal mobile phones, tablets, laptops, smartwatches and wearables. SentryHound-Pro’s ferromagnetic detection zones are highly sensitive to trace amounts of ferrous material found in plastic mobile phones and miniaturised electronics. These same mobile phones slip through regular metal detection but not SentryHound-Pro because of its sensitivity, unique motion detection and enhanced false trigger rejection.

Use a single pole for impromptu checkpoints, doorways and wall mounted ferromagnetic detection zones.

Use dual pole configuration (wirelessly tethered) to expand detection range over 5 feet wide.

Setup is simple and can be done anywhere; plug and play out of the box with less than 30 seconds from powering up to full operation. No software or assembly required. This allows rapid, non-invasive inspection of pockets, bags, purses, clothing and even body cavities.

SentryHound-Pro is lightweight (only 17 pounds) so it can be easily transported and deployed by any security personnel instantly. SentryHound-Pro Ferromagnetic Security Screener is fully sealed against the elements for rugged indoor and outdoor use. It contains a sealed gel cell internal rechargeable battery for a full day of continuous power anywhere. SentryHound-Pro also features security key lock and dry trigger contacts for alarms, DVRs, video surveillance and intrusion detection systems as well as our popular WallHound-Pro™ Mobile Phone Detector & Deterrent.

FAQs

What does SentryHound-Pro™ detect?

Unauthorised or illegal mobile phones, tablets, laptops, smartwatches and wearables.

Why not just use a metal detector?

Plastic mobile phones can slip through regular metal detection. SentryHound-Pro™ is sensitive to the trace amounts of ferrous material in phones and miniaturised electronics.

How quickly can it be set up?

In less than 30 seconds from powering up to full operation. No software or assembly is required.

Do I need two poles?

No. A single pole works for impromptu checkpoints, doorways and wall-mounted zones. Add a second, wirelessly tethered pole for complete walk-through screening over 5 feet wide.

Can it be used outdoors?

Yes. It is fully sealed against the elements for rugged indoor and outdoor use.

How long does the battery last?

A sealed gel cell internal rechargeable battery provides a full day of continuous power.

Can SentryHound-Pro™ trigger other systems?

Yes. Dry trigger contacts connect to alarms, DVRs, video surveillance, intrusion detection systems and WallHound-Pro™.

Does it detect phones that are switched off?

Yes. Ferromagnetic detection does not rely on the phone transmitting. For close-range handheld scans, see Manta Ray™.
