Professional screening that moves with you
The folding SentryHound-Pro from Berkeley Varitronics Systems is a passive ferromagnetic screener for correctional facilities, secure entrances and temporary checkpoints. This product includes one sensor pole with a base and a central folding hinge. It helps detect concealed phones even when powered off, while four zones indicate the area that triggered the alert.

The system detects changes in the surrounding magnetic field caused by moving ferromagnetic material. A phone does not need to be switched on or connected to a network.
Location See the zone that triggered
Zone LEDs and the top beacon provide a clear visual alert. Audible alerts help staff respond while checking pockets, bags, clothing and footwear.
Portability Fold, transport and redeploy
The centrally hinged pole takes up less space during transport and storage. Once unfolded and secured, the powered system completes its initial calibration in approximately 30 seconds.
What does SentryHound-Pro detect?
It helps locate phones, tablets, laptops, smartwatches and other objects with detectable ferromagnetic components, as well as weapons containing such material. Results depend on the object’s composition, position, distance and the surrounding environment.
This product is one folding pole. A second pole, wall mounting kit and protective raincoat are additional accessories. Manufacturer videos and documents may show a two-pole configuration.
A consistent check in three steps
- Unfold and positionLoosen the hinge knobs, straighten the pole and retighten them. Place it on a firm, stable surface and keep the base sensors unobstructed.
- Calibrate and testSwitch on and allow approximately 30 seconds for calibration. Choose sensitivity and alert settings, then test the checkpoint with representative objects.
- Screen and check alertsGuide people through the configured detection area. Use the illuminated zone to guide a follow-up inspection according to your security procedures.
Before you startThis is a ferromagnetic detector, so it does not detect every metal or every prohibited object. Belt buckles, steel footwear and other permitted items can also trigger alerts. Stable installation, calibration and practical testing are essential; recalibrate after moving the unit.

Frequently asked questions
Can it detect a switched-off phone?
Yes, if the phone contains enough detectable ferromagnetic material under the screening conditions. Detection does not rely on cellular, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth transmissions, so flight mode and power-off do not prevent this detection method.
Does it detect all metals or all prohibited items?
No. It responds to ferromagnetic material rather than every type of metal. Non-ferromagnetic objects, including some aluminium, plastic or ceramic items, are outside this detection method. A complete security procedure may require additional checks.
Does this product include one pole or a complete portal?
It includes one folding sensor pole with a base. Adding a second compatible pole creates an infrared-linked portal. Two-pole configurations shown in manufacturer illustrations do not mean that two poles are included with this product.
What is the detection range?
The manufacturer lists approximately 46–81 cm for one pole and 81–163 cm between two poles, with a screening height of approximately 190 cm. These are indicative ranges; object composition, orientation, sensitivity and nearby interference affect results.
How does it show where an object is located?
Each pole has four zones: head/shoulders, chest/waist, thighs/knees and ankles/feet. The corresponding LEDs indicate the approximate area for a follow-up inspection; the alert does not identify the exact object.
What can cause unwanted alerts?
Moving steel doors, trolleys, vehicles, nearby electrical equipment or movement of the pole itself can interfere. Use a hard, stable surface, avoid carpet and test the installation. Ordinary items with ferromagnetic components can also trigger an alert.
How long does the battery last?
The manufacturer’s manual specifies approximately 24 hours of normal operation and approximately 3–4 hours for a full charge. Use the supplied 13.8 V / 1.5 A adapter. Actual runtime depends on operating conditions.
How compact is the folded unit?
The current manufacturer folding-model specification sheet lists approximately 89 × 30.5 × 20.3 cm folded and 173 × 30.5 × 20.3 cm unfolded with the base. One pole including its base weighs approximately 6.35 kg. These are equipment dimensions, not shipping-package dimensions.
