How to set up and Go Safely
Select the Sign In option in the top right hand corner of this page. Fill in the short form to create your business account.
This allows you to control the purchase and allocation of licenses through a dedicated portal.
Once you have created your account, open the portal and choose how many licenses you require and whether annual or monthly licenses best suit your needs.
Create user accounts, input team member’s name, email and mobile number. You can activate the accounts immediately or at any time.
For each purchased license given to an employee, The Sentry will provide that employee with 3 complimentary licenses to give to their family/friends.
The employee inputs their chosen contact’s information themselves, on their own device. They control both their professional and personal contacts from within the app.
This provides an easy to manage safety platform that spans both work and home life and gives the incentive to use it on a daily basis.
In Billing you can see a breakdown of your transactions and their status.
The Support tab gives you contact details should you need any further help with the portal.
Each Team Member:
Each team member must download The Sentry from the App store or Play Store.
Open the App and sign up. Click on Create Account and input the relevant details when prompted.
You will see a User Guide which you can refer to again in the Account tab within the App:
The User Guide helps you install the one-touch panic button Widgets on your home screen. We recommend having them both at the top of your primary screen for quick access.

Click on a contact and the map will take you to their most recent reported location, anywhere in the world.
If a user is sending their location (Check in or Panic alarm) and they lose internet connection, the Map function will queue and send their most recent reported location as soon as their phone regains a signal.
Now the Sentry is all set up and you’re ready to
