Sentinel Goes the Extra Mile

Sentinel Systems is offering its customers the chance to experience its range of vehicle and camera safety solutions with a no-obligation trial of its systems.

The company has received some extremely successful orders as a result of its customers trialling the systems, which allows drivers and fleet operators the time to assess and evaluate each system effectively to find the right solution for their safety requirements.

Sentinel offers a wide range of vehicle safety and camera systems suitable for all heavy goods vehicles, including its award-winning Bike Hotspot cyclist detection system, auto-braking radar systems and many forward, side and rear facing cameras to enhance the visibility and safety awareness for vehicle drivers.

David Paulson, Managing Director of Sentinel Systems commented, “We have found that the trials we offer to customers are invaluable as they allow them the time to find the right package for their fleet. We work closely with each customer to set up the trial, sometimes on two vehicles, adapting the system to help them find exactly the right solution. From these trials we have been able to provide bespoke camera system packages, confident in the knowledge that the chosen solution is the most effective for their specific requirements. By working in this way customers come to understand our commitment to quality and engineering standards, which they experience first-hand.”

In the past, Sentinel Systems has worked with a number for fleet operators to supply a trial which has resulted in its systems being installed across more of the fleet. London-based civil engineering contractor, J B Riney & Co., is just one example of companies that have continued to use Sentinel Systems’ equipment following a successful trial.

Barry Parker, Head of Fleet at J B Riney & Co. commented, “We have been using Sentinel’s safety systems on our vehicles for several years since we were given the opportunity to trial their cyclists safety equipment. This system was presented to us as a particularly important solution for our vehicles as we operate daily in Central London and the surrounding boroughs. In trialling this system we were able to see how much this can improve the safety of our vehicles for both our drivers and pedestrians and cyclists, and we were overall very pleased with what the system offered.”

He continued, “We have since installed the same system on all of our HGV vehicles in our fleet, with some of our larger vehicles now using Sentinel’s complete camera systems and mobile recording device. Not only were the systems competitively priced, but Sentinel has been great to work with since our initial trial and provide an excellent service. If we ever need new or replacement systems we will always contact Sentinel.”

The company’s overall service extends beyond the installation as they offer comprehensive technical support from their experienced nationwide engineers. The team will also be on hand to provide all aftersales support via telephone and email regardless of the date of installation.
