Prepare Your Sentinel

Getting prepared before going out into the field. We do recommend to practice the entire workflow in a controlled environment first!

Please follow instructions here to adequately prepare your Sentinel for deployment

As a quick checklist:

  • Ensure Sentinels are properly configured in the online dashboard

  • Fully charge your 18650 lithium-ion batteries

  • Batteries are secured inside Sentinels, microSD card is inserted, and no internal cables are loose

  • The Sentinel powers on

  • Antenna and Spypoint cable mount well

If possible, bring more Sentinels, trail cameras and Spypoint cables than necessary so you don't have to troubleshoot when e.g. in the field.

  • Mounting straps

  • Laptop and SD card reader to read data in the field (optional)
