Features

Everything you need to sleep soundly.

Sentinel covers the equipment IdeaConcept installed or that you rent from us. Our technicians see the state of your installation in real time, and we step in before it shows on stage.

Real-time monitoring

Continuous supervision of the equipment we installed or rented to you: projectors, displays, consoles, media servers, AV networks. Temperature, status, latency, health, we see it all.

Smart alerts

Text, email, Slack, Teams. Automatic grouping to cut the noise. Escalation if not acknowledged within 15 minutes.

Rapid response

As soon as an alert fires, a ticket is created and dispatched to our nearest technician. You see exactly who is coming, when, and with what context.

SLA reports

Availability, MTTR, MTBF exportable to PDF. Ideal for your quarterly reviews with stakeholders, we hand you the report ready to go.

Multi-site map

If you have several locations equipped by IdeaConcept (head office, branches, conference rooms), you see everything on a map. Filter by location, equipment type, status.

Preventive maintenance

Failures detected ahead of time through trend analysis. Our technicians step in before something breaks, so you avoid bad surprises on the day of your big event.

Frequently asked questions

What we get asked the most.

Everything IdeaConcept installed at your site (permanent integrations), what you rent long term, or specific equipment you ask us to monitor. Sentinel works with the vast majority of pro AV equipment (Crestron, Extron, Shure, Barco, NEC, Christie, etc.). For equipment without network connectivity, we install a lightweight agent or a dedicated sensor.
