Frequently Asked Questions
The Cicada Sentinel can be freely placed inside a refrigerator or securely fixed using the included adhesive for stable installation.
In the event of a network outage, the Cicada Sentinel stores data locally and automatically uploads it when the connection is restored. Alert settings can notify you if an upload fails due to network issues.
The Cicada Sentinel is battery-operated, ensuring it remains functional during a power outage. It will continue to monitor conditions, collect data, and send alerts as needed.
No, the Cicada Sentinel does not require any gateways. It includes a SIM card and communicates directly with cell towers, enabling seamless data uploads to the Binary Cloud without the need for additional hardware.
'Real time' means the Cicada Sentinel updates and uploads data at customisable intervals, as frequently as every 5 minutes, allowing you to respond swiftly to any critical changes in conditions.
Alerts are sent via email or SMS immediately after each data upload if preset conditions are met. With a maximum upload interval of 5 minutes, you can receive notifications within 5 minutes of a detected event.
The Cicada Sentinel is versatile and can operate in any type of fridge—be it specialised vaccine fridges, blood storage fridges, or standard residential fridges, making it suitable for a wide range of laboratory and medical settings.
The Cicada Sentinel collects temperature data and can also detect movement and light, which helps determine if fridge doors have been opened or closed.
