Stay Ahead Of Lightning!

With the TSentry™ Base Edition add-on for NexStorm™ you can now receive warnings via email when thunderstorms are in your area!

Alarm functionality

TSentry™ can be configured to "listen" to the various NexStorm alarms, or to monitor an arbitrary radius from your location for lightning activity.

The program uses the NexStorm FlashGate-2 inter-process communication data feed to capture locations of the so called TRAC targets that NexStorm has detected and is currently tracking. A TRAC target is essentially the software equivalent of a real life thunderstorm.

When a TRAC target triggers one of the NexStorm alarms, an alert notification message containing text based information about the storm can be emailed to up to five (5) different email addresses.

Additionally, after the lightning has moved out of the area being monitored, TSentry™ can optionally send an All Clear notification message to all recipients.

Message templates

Both the Alert and All Clear messages are based on templates in which the user can insert several predefined tags. This provides for complete control over message formatting while at the same time allowing TSentry™ to insert current information for each sent message.

A special "short data" tag can be used to present compacted information about the triggering storm. This is especially useful when notifications are being emailed to a cell phone.

TSentry™ comes with ready made templates for both the Alert and All Clear notification messages. Both templates can be easily modified in a text editor such as Notepad.
Mail server compatibility

TSentry™ can send emails via any SMTP mail server that supports PLAIN and LOGIN authentication methods, or servers where no authentication is required. Most mail servers support one or all of the above mentioned authentication methods.

Before purchasing we strongly recommend that you download the fully functional TSentry™ Base Edition 15-day trial version in order to ensure that the program will work with your mail server.
