International. In 2021, Senstar celebrates its 40th anniversary. The company was founded in 1981 with the aim of bringing to the commercial security market technologies originally intended for military applications.
With only seven employees, Senstar introduced its first product: Sentrax, a buried cable perimeter security technology, in September 1982. Early adopters included Correctional Service Canada, the British Home Office and Western Australia Corrections.
Senstar now employs several hundred people worldwide and boasts a wide range of security technologies, including the world's largest portfolio of perimeter intrusion detection products (fence sensors, buried sensors, above ground sensors), as well as video management, video analytics, access control, and personal coercion solutions.
Its products in the market are found in more than 100 countries, in tens of thousands of sites including cell towers, corrections, dams and waterways, electrical services, manufacturing and logistics, military and borders, oil and gas, transportation and water utility markets. Senstar also operates the world's most comprehensive private perimeter intrusion security test facility to ensure its products perform in the most extreme conditions.
