If you are doing it on the Unit and you wish to do ID Scan instead of ID Search simply create a Department named "ICalls" in the system in which you wish to monitor ICalls.

Then create a new channel and call it ICall. Then Do the following:

Notes
  1. May need to Run As Administrator under Windows


Operations Issues and Fixes

  • I cant get Sentinel to open / start
    • Follow these steps
  1. Be sure Sentinel is not running.
  2. In Windows Explorer, look for this folder on your computer: C:\Users\[YourUserName]\AppData\Local\Uniden
  3. In that folder, you will see a sub-folder that begins with "HomePatrol_Sentinel.exe_Url_"
  4. Delete that entire sub-folder (it contains the "user.config" file).... be sure you are deleting that specific folder.
  5. Re-start Sentinel... When Sentinel starts, it will re-write a new folder to replace the one that you deleted, and a fresh "user.config" file will be in that folder. That folder does not get deleted when you un-install Sentinel, so if the "user.config" file in there is corrupted, it will still be there when you re-install Sentinel.


  • I got an error trying to install under Win10 saying that Net framework 2.0 is required
    • Go to Settings / Apps / Apps and Features then look at the right for Related Pages.
    • Select Programs and Features
    • Look for Turn Windows Features On or Off on the left. Selections for .net framework should be at or near the top
