Remote site
monitor with 2 DC
metering inputs, 2 status
inputs & 6 relay outputs
The CircuitWerkes SiteSentry2
ushers in a new 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 dyndns.org and
no-ip.org. 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.
List Price is just
$329/ea
for
standard and
