Mobile Data Unit
Adds 4G mobile-data connectivity to the IPU for remote or off-grid locations without usable Wi-Fi.
Connectivity optionSentinel · Components
One system.
Four layers.
Sentinel isn’t a camera connected to a cloud service. It's a coordinated field-to-server system in which every layer has a specific job—and every layer is designed to work with the others.
System architecture
From photons in the field to evidence in your hand.
Observation starts at the Intelligent Camera Unit, is coordinated and analyzed locally by the Image Processing Unit, powered by the site’s selected power system, and connected to Sentinel Core for deeper analysis, management, logging and notification.

Intelligent Camera Unit · ICU
The eyes—and the first layer of intelligence.
Every Sentinel camera is an active part of the detection system, not merely an image source.
Each ICU captures high-resolution still imagery and video concurrently, performs local image processing, participates in IntelliSense adaptive sensing, and contributes the first stage of filtering before data ever reaches the IPU or Sentinel Core.
A 12-megapixel Sony image sensor provides detailed daytime imagery, while a six-LED flood provides 940 nm night illumination invisible to animals. Optional mmWave radar adds an additional sensing layer for enhanced target detection and tracking. Camera behavior can be tuned individually to the field it sees, including regions of interest, ignore regions, exposure, focus, day/night behavior and sampling parameters.

Image Processing Unit · IPU
The field coordinator.
One IPU turns a group of cameras into a single installation.
The Image Processing Unit manages and coordinates as many as ten Intelligent Camera Units. It receives candidate observations from the cameras, performs additional local analysis, manages communications with Sentinel Core, protects important evidence and maintains the installation’s local operating record.
The IPU is also Sentinel’s resilience layer. When server or mobile-data connectivity is interrupted, it can continue local monitoring and processing, retain work for later synchronization, and progressively adapt its workload if local resources become constrained.
Power management, communications, cooling and extensive operational telemetry are integrated into the field system so that Sentinel Core can understand not only what the cameras are seeing, but how the installation itself is behaving.

Power Supply Unit · PSU
Power where the grid ends.
Sentinel is designed to treat power as part of the system—not as an afterthought.
At off-grid sites, the PSU manages the installation’s power supply and provides the interface between batteries, solar charging and the Sentinel field equipment. Protection, distribution and charging are designed around unattended operation in real field conditions.
Sites with commercial power can use a mains power supply instead. The power architecture is selected for the location, camera count, communications method and desired unattended runtime rather than forcing every installation into the same configuration.

Sentinel Core
The system behind the systems.
Sentinel Core connects individual field installations into one managed wildlife-intelligence platform.
Core performs the server-side stages of Sentinel’s detection and verification pipeline, coordinates deployed configurations and software, monitors system health, preserves audit data, manages wildlife observations, sends alerts and generates the customer-facing dashboard.
It also gives Verbium the operational depth needed to support the system properly: camera status, processing rates, battery behavior, equipment records, service history, configuration state and other telemetry can be reviewed centrally without exposing that complexity to customers.

Pricing assumes that AC power is available at the installation site. Field power systems are available separately. Pricing is provisional: a new generation of Sentinel hardware will be available soon, and pricing will be updated at that time. Please contact Verbium for more information, a site consultation or a quote.
Configure it for the field
Start with Sentinel.
Add what the site needs.
The field hardware is modular so connectivity, mounting and power can be selected independently around the actual installation rather than bundled into a one-size-fits-all package.

Tankan Installation Kit
For customers who plan to install Sentinel themselves or have a local contractor perform the installation. Includes two vertical anchors, horizontal cross-members, brackets and clamps for a robust, field-adjustable field installation.
Mounting option03
AC Power Adapter
For installations with reliable commercial power. Provides a simple direct power path for continuous operation.
Power option04
Solar Power Kit
One PSU, two 100 Ah LiFePO₄ batteries, two 200 W solar panels, a charge controller, and the mounting hardware needed for autonomous field power.
Power option05
Battery Kit
One PSU with 100 Ah LiFePO₄ batteries and quick-change connectors. Choose the capacity that fits the site and service interval. (Especially useful when you intend to swap batteries in a rotating cycle.)
2 batteriesApprox. 4–5 days
3 batteriesApprox. 6–8 days

Additional Camera
Expand an ST-100 installation with additional Intelligent Camera Units as coverage needs grow. One IPU supports up to 10 cameras: up to four can be mounted on the same tankan pipe, with up to six more positioned elsewhere around the site.

Custom Color
Choose a custom finish for both the Sentinel hardware and the mounting hardware to suit the site, surrounding architecture, visibility requirements or customer preference.

Traditional Mounting Bracket
Wall-mount hardware for installations where a conventional building or structure provides the best camera position.
Mounting optionBattery runtime is approximate and varies with camera count, illumination, environmental activity, communications method, weather and operating configuration. We’re incorporating power-use reductions into updated hardware; final operating figures for the Solar Power Kit and Battery Kit will be published when that work is complete.

Installation
Start with the site,
not the catalog.
Every Sentinel installation begins with a complimentary site evaluation. We look at the area that needs to be observed, likely animal approaches, available infrastructure, mounting positions, communications and power before recommending a configuration.
