The Most Advanced Meter On The Market
In 100 years, the meter hasn’t changed much. Think about how much society has advanced in technology within a 100-year timespan. Phones went from landlines to small pocket-sized devices, computers went from massive machinery to sleek laptop that fits in your bag, and tv went from being a bulky box to paper-thin hidden screens in your home. Parking meters on the other hand have hardly changed, until now.
The Sentry Meter is the only meter on the market that has LPR technology, can call, text, or email 911 for emergencies, display amber alerts and weather warnings, and is the only meter that will forgive parkers. Learn more about the Sentry Meter features below.

The Sentry Meter offers grace periods determined by your local municipality. Often allowing 5-30 minutes of grace for the parker to pay the meter before receiving an overcharge ticket. Should a Parker overextend that grace period, the meter will forgive their ticket if they pay for the time used before leaving the spot. This is the only meter in the world that does this!
Additionally, parkers can easily extend their parking time from the Sentry Mobile app, which will sync payments with the meter to extend the time automatically.
