The AgileMesh GroundView Series SENTINEL is a portable surveillance system that includes a camera deployment unit, one or two ruggedized PTZ cameras, a wireless networking node, antennas, and a carrying case. It is designed to establish live video surveillance around major incidents to provide situational awareness and evidence gathering. Video is securely transmitted via AgileMesh's proprietary CommandMesh software and the system can operate independently or be integrated with other surveillance assets on scene.
