A Full-Featured
Remote Control with event
scheduler for under $400
Remote site monitor
with
2
DC metering inputs,
2 status inputs
& 6 relay
outputs
The CircuitWerkes
SiteSentry2 ushers in an
affordable era of remote
site monitoring. An
internal Web server lets
you monitor your site from
any Web browser, anywhere
in the world.
Automatically detects both
meter low and meter
overload conditions on
one, or both channels. An
internal temperature
sensor can respond to high
or low temperature
conditions. The external
audio monitor meters two
channels of audio and can
respond if either silence
or overload are detected.
Add
Web monitoring and
control to an
existing dial-up
controller
Not only
are the SiteSentry series
of remote controls great
little stand-alone remote
controls, they can also be
used as a convenient way
to add Web/network
capabilities to your
existing dial-up only
remote control. If
you have a dial-up remote
control or a product where
the Webserver is no longer
supported, you don't have
to get rid of your old
hardware. Simply
parallel the SiteSentry's
metering inputs across the
desired metering channels
of your old remote control
and also wire in the relay
outputs in parallel,
too. The SiteSentry
will work in parallel with
most older remote controls
to provide a rich Web
experience complete with
independent alarm handler,
NTP corrected real time
clock and event scheduler,
logging with emailing, and
email/text message alarm
notifications. Now
you can upgrade your old
remote control's
capabilities for a
fraction of the cost of
replacing it.
The SiteSentry series of
controls do not
use Java, ActiveX or any
other proprietary
software. Your
SiteSentry unit will work
on nearly every browser
and across all major
operating systems
including Windows, Apple,
Android and many others.
Only one port is needed to
access the
Webserver.
Multi-purpose
control functions
The
SiteSentry2 gives you Web
control of six relays (two
are DPDT) that can be
latching or
momentary. Two
status inputs give a
visual indication, via the
Web server, whenever
triggered & can also activate
automated relay
actions. Use
the SiteSentry2 anywhere
that you need an
inexpensive, network
addressable, controller
with status capabilities.
Three
levels of user control are
available ranging from
reader up to
administrator.
Automatic
(user programmable)
functions
When
meter-low, overload, or
external status change, is
detected, the SiteSentry2
can perform
user-programmed,
automated, sequences of
actions and can also
respond to user control
via the network or via
external contact closure
inputs.
Actions can be programmed
to run once or to repeat
while the condition
exists. Alternate
actions (or cancellation
of previous actions) can
be set to run when the
conditions return to
normal. Action
sequences can also be run
manually.
E-mailing/SMS
Texting
The
SiteSentry2 supports SMTP
and can send both e-mails
and SMS text (to your
phone) messages that alert
you of alarm conditions.
E-mailing is accomplished
directly from the
SiteSentry2
hardware. The
SiteSentry2 can also keep
an onboard log and you can
have that log emailed to
you periodically.
Dynamic
DNS (DDNS)
The
SiteSentry2 supports
dynamic IP redirect
services like no-ip.org
and many others. This
allows you to use the
SiteSentry2 on a dynamic
IP instead of paying for a
static IP. With DDNS, you
can find your unit by name
instead of by typing an IP
number.
Onboard
Clock
with DST
Aware Event
Scheduler
All
version of the
SiteSentry2 can track
time using an NST time
sync but will continue
to keep time even if no
NST server is
available. Manual
time sync is also
permitted. In
addition, a 50
event scheduler is
included with the
streaming version of the
SiteSentry2. The
scheduler has a
resolution of better
than 1 second, so events
can be scheduled at any
second of any hour.
Events can be set
to repeat every day at a
specific time for a
month, then stop but to
repeat again the next
year (for AM station
pattern/power
changes.
Automatic
Logging
Onboard
logs are kept at a user
specified interval.
Logs can be e-mailed at
regular intervals.
Logs can also be included
with alarm e-mails, if
desired. The log
format is user-defined via
a two-part template.
Free
Upgrades
The
SiteSentry2 is field
upgradable. When new
features are added or when
a bug is found, you can
easily and safely upgrade
the units in the field
with the latest firmware
through the Webserver.
With free upgrades, you
can always keep your
SiteSentry2 up-to-date.
Up to two SiteSentry2s can
be optionally rack mounted
in a single sized rack
shelf. Administrators can
perform all setup through
the Webserver.
The SiteSentry2 includes
free multi-site monitoring
monitoring software.
User settings & labels
can be saved to the host
computer and uploaded to
the original SiteSentry2,
or to others for mass
programming.
Streaming Audio
Option (In or Out)
The "S"
version of the SiteSentry2
(SiteSentry2s) includes
the ability to decode
Shoutcast/Icecast MP3 or
Ogg-Vorbis audio streams.
Stereo or mono streams are
supported at bitrates up
to 192kbs (no more than
128k is recommended due to
an onboard buffer limit of
64k). Received audio
streams may be routed
through the DPDT relays
for putting on the air as
backup sources when a main
audio failure is detected.
The decoder mode includes
station & song name
decoding for Shoutcast as
well as general stream
information.
The SiteSentry2 also
includes the ability to
encode Shoutcast/Icecast
compatible audio streams
using the open-source
Ogg-Vorbis format. 10
different streaming
profiles are included.
Ogg-Vorbis can be decoded
by virtually all media
players and is a very
robust and high quality
alternative to mp3
encoding. The SiteSentry2
can be used to either
encode or to decode audio
streams. Because it is
half duplex, the
SiteSentry2 can not encode
and decode at the same
time. Switching between
transmit and receive is a
one-button click.
The SiteSentry2 can be
used as a stand alone
streaming audio encoder or
decoder with auxiliary
relay outputs, however,
the SiteSentry2 relays are
not synchronized with the
encoded audio. Audio in
and out of the SiteSentry2
is unbalanced,
stereo, on deplugabble
screw terminals.
