Indoor Location Tracking
GPS fails inside concrete and steel. Sentinel Indoor Location Tracking uses iBeacon technology to deliver sub-room accuracy, floor-level visualization, and real-time personnel monitoring inside any facility.
How Indoor Location Tracking Works
Three straightforward steps from hardware deployment to live visualization on the dispatch console.
Deploy iBeacons
Small, battery-powered Bluetooth beacons are placed at key locations throughout your building - hallways, rooms, stairwells, and exits.
Devices Auto-Scan
Sentinel radios and smartphones automatically scan for nearby beacon signals and transmit the strongest signal ID to our servers in real time.
Visual Dispatch
The Dispatch Console maps each device to its exact location on your uploaded floor plan - showing your entire team at a glance.
Enterprise-Grade Tracking Features
Built for complex environments - hospitals, schools, warehouses, factories, and high-security facilities.
Floor Plan Visualization
Upload custom PNG or JPG floor plans. Dispatchers can see personnel locations relative to room layouts and floor levels in real time.
Multi-Floor Support
Manage complex facilities with multiple floors. Seamlessly switch between levels or monitor the entire building simultaneously.
Detailed Reporting
Generate reports to review movement history, time spent in specific zones, and attendance logs for any time period.
Precision Calibration
Fine-tune Beacon Lifetime, Lost Timeout, and Min RSSI thresholds to optimize accuracy for your specific environment.
Secure & Permission-Based
Indoor Location Tracking requires specific licenses and permissions, ensuring location data is only accessible to authorized personnel.
iBeacon Integration
Low-energy Bluetooth iBeacons placed strategically throughout the building deliver sub-room accuracy without heavy infrastructure.
Advanced Server-Side Controls
Every facility is different. Sentinel's Indoor Location Tracking gives administrators direct control over signal behavior - so you get accurate, reliable positioning regardless of building materials, layout, or density.
- Beacon Lifetime
Control how long a beacon signal persists before expiring, ensuring smooth location transitions as personnel move between zones.
- Lost Timeout
Configure automatic alerts when a device stops receiving beacon signals, indicating a possible exit or loss of signal coverage.
- Min RSSI Filtering
Filter out weak background signals to eliminate location 'jitter' and ensure dispatchers see the most accurate real-time position.
Built for High-Stakes Environments
Indoor Location Tracking is proven across industries where knowing where your team is matters.
