Sentra Car Connect
The Sentra PTT App connects a car audio and dashboard system if Android Auto or Apple CarPlay is enabled in the vehicle. The Sentra Car Connect offers uninterrupted communication while driving with a hands-free option. Channel lists are displayed in the car dashboard, and users can mute and unmute a channel. The Android Auto support will ensure hand-free conversation. No additional installation or license is needed.
The Sentra Push to Talk App, when installed on the phone and connected via car USB, the app will be loaded in the car. You can press and talk if you prefer on the phone while driving or enable the VAD feature. Car Connect feature is only limited to talking and message listening capacity. Only Sentra offers this feature that can replace a need for mobile devices installed in a car. A single app can be used as a portable or a mobile installed in the vehicle without physically installing anything.
Sentra Push to Talk Device
The Sentra 199 is a 3G / WiFi Android Radio, without display, offering basic communication operations. You can install apps from your computer to the radio via the USB port. The radio comes with Sentra PTT built-in with a push to talk button and channel selector. The device offers traditional walkie talkie features without any required license fees to regulators.
The device is automatically trunked and can be accessed from anywhere, at any time. Sentra Push to Talk offers channel selector and PTT button functions along with text-to-speech notification features. The device comes with a panic button option. A man-down feature is also included which allows dispatchers to get notified if the device has a sudden fall from a certain height
Sentra PTT App Features
Instant Touch
With Sentra, you can connect your team with just a touch of a button. Use any mobile phone like a walkie-talkie that extends your corporate two-way radios. Or it could act just like an extension of your IP PABX or Cisco CUCM / Cisco UCCX. There’s no need for any delay dialing someone and find that person. The user will get the message live, or the message will automatically be recorded on his phone.
Talk Group or Individual
Sentra lets a user instantly contact an individual or a group under different channels using the push-to-talk service. Group call supports floor control and can set the priorities to talk or hold in a group conversation. Individual calls are just like calls between two parties. Land mobile radios can easily communicate as a group member and similarly, an individual can call the traditional walkie-talkie from anywhere.
Locations
Even if a person is not online or is active on another channel, with Sentra they do not miss out on any conversations. A backup of the entire group communication remains stored as history. We also offer historical reports and analysis with the Sentra Dispatch.

Access Anywhere
The Sentra PTT App usage is not limited to any specific network, device, or technology. It is a ready-to-go feature with very high security and reliability. So, the walkie-talkie on the phone can be accessed anywhere. Messages will be received from any network, any device, and anywhere in the world.
High Security
One of the most significant advantages of the app is that it is highly secure. All keys are exchanged using certificates. Users can install a custom certificate with the level of encryption they are looking for.
Photo Sharing
A picture tells a thousand words. You can share photos like Instagram or Snapchat in the Sentra PTT app. Group photos and videos can be shared with the dispatcher, making it easy to explain the situation without saying a word.
Alerts
Alerts are a critical component of mission-critical communications. It can be a man-down alert or an auto-generated alert from an IoT sensor. e.g., a fire alarm from a smoke sensor or an intruder alarm from a PIR sensor. An alarm can also be generated from a video camera. NybSys Survello platform generates suspicious object detection or anomaly detection alarms which can be automatically routed to the Sentra platform.
Radio Integration
Any traditional radio network can be integrated using our LMR gateway device. Once connected, each radio channel appears as a Sentra User in the group or individual call. This way a regular Sentra user can push and talk to any radio network natively from anywhere. Currently, we support analog, DMR, P25, and NXDN land mobile radio networks with the Sentra Gateway system
