Risk you can watch.Claims you can verify.
MySentinel is a monitored sensing platform for the rural assets you insure. Independent of the systems it watches, it detects failure before it becomes loss — and keeps a timestamped record that stands up in any claim, audit or dispute.
The losses that don't have to happen.
Most catastrophic rural losses announce themselves early — a slow temperature climb, a power drop, heat building in a stack. The difference between an incident and a claim is whether anyone was watching.
Coolstore spoilage
A compressor fails or refrigerant leaks on a long weekend. The room warms over hours while nobody walks the shed. MySentinel reads temperature and power directly and rings a human at the first drift — while the stock is still cold.
Detection window: hoursHayshed fire
Hay baled too damp ferments and heats over days until it ignites. In-stack probes read temperature, humidity and VOC off-gassing, catching combustion building hours to days before flame.
Detection window: daysLivestock environment failure
A ventilation or power failure in summer can take a flock in under an hour. Age-aware thresholds and power monitoring raise the alarm in minutes — and keep calling until someone acts.
Detection window: minutesDetection only matters if someone acts.
Most monitors fire a text into the void. MySentinel rings a phone — and if that call isn't acknowledged, it rings the next number, then the next, looping until a real person presses 1. The platform is deliberately independent of everything it monitors: its own cellular connection that auto-switches networks, its own battery, no dependence on site wifi or site power. When the infrastructure fails, the monitor is the thing still standing.
The evidence layer.
Every reading is logged to the cloud and retained indefinitely. For a claim, that means timestamped pre-loss conditions, the moment of failure, alarm and acknowledgement times, and the full recovery — records, not recollections. The same data trail serves MPI welfare audits and export QA, and can be shared with an insurer or auditor directly from the dashboard.
