Proactive BACnet network monitoring and diagnostics

Complete visibility into your BACnet network

Sentinel allows our users to visualize and document a building or campus's BACnet communication networks, providing real-time insights into network health and performance.

Proactively identify potential threats

Monitor and track changes in your BACnet communication network, simulate network traffic, test performance, and identify issues like latency or packet loss before they disrupt building systems.

Strengthen security and system reliability

Collect and manage data about BACnet communication networks connecting HVAC equipment, power meters, sensors, and DERs. Sentinel enhances cybersecurity by enabling the detection of anomalies and unusual traffic patterns that could indicate potential threats.

Seamlessly integrate with Optigo Visual Networks

Streamline diagnostics with Sentinel’s integration into the Optigo Visual Networks™ platform, enabling centralized visibility into building automation systems.
