The Sentry ERS device is the first of its kind to assist with active shooter and other emergencies. The unit consists of a base unit and a mobile unit. Both broadcast video and audio to enable first responders to have eyes and ears at the scene. The Sentry ERS device is installed in schools, hospitals and other public places to provide faster response times and more situational awareness during emergencies.

We started by creating a sequence of use diagram for the device which helped us to create a list of requirements and to begin to layout the system architecture. You can watch how the device is used in this demo video created by IP Video.

After laying out the system architecture, we created CAD models of the design using 3D modeling software. We took into account the assembly process, the user interaction, and the fabrication processes.

Prototype units were fabricated to test the functionality of the device, evaluate the user experience, test the assembly process, and assess the form.

The production units were debuted at the ISC West Tradeshow and won the 2023 SSI Most Valuable Products (MVP) Award. We are so thankful for the opportunity to have worked on this product with IP Video and are excited to see this product in action.
