The Sentry RT Controller is an upgrade for Sentry WAM-2 & MM systems, as well as 3M 3500 & 3900 to make old systems new again. By simply replacing old electronics with our RT Controller, your security gates are alive again with better tag detection and a remote tuning feature to perform system diagnostics, and adjustments via the internet.

Electronic outputs add further security options, such as an alarm signal to trigger a video recorder.

The Sentry RT Controller has a built-in patron counter with LibraryAssist™ software that enables librarians to analyze the data by hour, day, week, and month. Data can be downloaded as a csv file for viewing and manipulation in Excel. This valuable information reveals peak traffic periods to determine optimal operating hours and staffing requirements.  And best of all, No yearly fees to access the information!

Sentry EAS equipment is manufactured in the USA.

* Applicable taxes are extra. Price is in US dollars. Promotion is valid until September 30, 2025. Built-In Patron Counter is not available for the MM system. 

“Our library just had a Sentry upgrade of our 3M 3500 library security systems with the WAM/MM-RT controller. We are especially pleased with the reporting feature that allows our staff to generate reports of gate count activity. Also, Sentry's ability to access the controllers remotely should provide improved efficiency with system maintenance and reduce maintenance costs.”
