The Sentri is a touchscreen tablet computer that acts primarily as a video home surveillance and environmental monitoring system. It’s roughly tablet-size (9.842″ by 9.842″ square and 1.18″ deep) with a 120-degree, wide-angle camera, night vision, and temperature, humidity, and air quality sensors.
