[ Platform ]

One platform. Clear authority.

SHOGUN ONE is organised around the three jobs a facility manager does every day: decide who gets in, understand what is happening, and act when something goes wrong.

01  Access

Who gets in, where and when.

Set the rules once in the cloud and every gate, door, lift and keypad follows them.

  • Tenants and units with access levels, time zones and lockouts
  • Gate, door, lift and lighting control from one console
  • Property management sync keeps tenant status current

02  Intelligence

See every site as it happens.

Live operations, reports and a complete audit trail across your whole portfolio.

  • Portfolio and site dashboards in any browser
  • Access events alongside video, plates and people sightings
  • Reports and an audit log of who changed what

03  Response

Act fast, with the right people.

Alarms reach your team and your monitoring provider through the channels they already use.

  • Held-open door alerts with timers
  • SIA DC-09 and Patriot monitoring integration
  • SMS and email notifications

[ Inside the software ]

The screens your team will use.

Real screens from the SHOGUN ONE cloud dashboard, captured on Sentinel's test bench.

Every unit with its status and keypad interface. Lease a unit, record the tenant's vehicle and set their passcode in one form.

[ How it works ]

Cloud in charge. Site in control.

Three layers, each doing one job. The cloud holds your configuration and history. A controller on site makes the decisions. Sentinel field hardware does the physical work.

Layer 1Anywhere

Cloud dashboard

A multi-tenant browser console for portfolio and site administration, tenants and units, access levels, live operations, reports, audit and API keys. Staff sign in with Google or Microsoft.

Layer 2On site

Site controller

A compact, Sentinel-engineered appliance at each facility, with integrated RS-485 for the Sentinel field bus and its own UPS. It makes access decisions locally.

Describe it. Find it.

Shogun Sentry brings Dahua WizSeek natural-language video search into SHOGUN ONE. Type what you are looking for in plain English, and see matching footage with plate and person sightings next to the access events from the same moment.

No more scrubbing through hours of recordings to work out who was at the gate.

[ Integrations ]

Works with the systems you already run.

SHOGUN ONE connects to your property management software, cameras and monitoring centre, so tenant status, video and alarms all line up with access.

Property management

Move-ins, move-outs and overlocks flow straight to access.

  • Storman API
  • StoreSync Cloud API
  • SiteLink File sync

Video

Footage beside every access event, with natural-language search through Shogun Sentry.

  • Dahua Sentry
  • Hikvision Video
  • Hanwha Vision Video

Monitoring and alerts

Alarms go to your monitoring centre and your team.

  • SIA DC-09 Alarm
  • Patriot Server gateway
  • SMS and email Notify

Open API and sign-in

Scoped, rate-limited API keys per organisation, with OpenAPI documentation.

  • Open API Events, tenants
  • Google SSO
  • Microsoft SSO

[ People and permissions ]

Permissions follow the job, not the job title.

Give each staff member exactly the access they need. Start from a preset, then adjust. Every change is recorded in the audit log.

  • FullEverything, including organisation settings
  • ManagerRuns sites day to day
  • Front deskTenants and everyday access tasks
  • View onlySees activity, changes nothing
  • CustomPick each permission individually

[ Engineered in Australia ]

From a wall cabinet to the palm of your hand.

The Sentinel Cloud Controller filled a lockable steel wall cabinet, packed with a power supply, a backup battery, a network switch and relay boards. We re-engineered it in Australia into one controller that fits in your hand. It still drives your gates, doors, keypads and lighting, and it still makes access decisions on site.
