Uniden HomePatrol Sentinel 2.00.02
==================================
WHAT THIS IS
------------
Uniden HomePatrol Sentinel 2.00.02. The earliest HomePatrol Sentinel 2.x
found, from the August 2011 launch of HomePatrol-1 firmware 2.00 and the
Extreme upgrade (installer files dated 11 August 2011). The package also
carries the HomePatrol-1 serial-mode .inf drivers. It predates the
HomePatrol-2 and does not support it.
APPLIES TO
----------
HomePatrol-1 only; it predates the HomePatrol-2. Not for the BCD436HP,
BCD536HP, SDS100 or SDS200, which use the separate BCDx36HP/SDS Sentinel.
BEFORE STARTING
---------------
- A Windows PC with an internet connection (Sentinel downloads firmware and
the weekly database from Uniden while it runs).
- A mini-USB data cable; charge-only cables will not connect.
- The package includes the .NET Framework 2.0 redistributable and Windows
Installer 3.1 for older systems.
- Operating-system support: Uniden lists none; the program runs on the .NET
Framework. Whether the installer completes on Windows 11 could not be
confirmed.

INSTALLATION
------------
1. Unzip the download to a temporary folder.
2. Run Setup.exe and follow the on-screen instructions. An earlier HomePatrol
Sentinel does not need to be removed first (Uniden).
3. Start HomePatrol Sentinel. To update, connect the HomePatrol, choose Mass
Storage if asked, and use UPDATE > Update Firmware and UPDATE > Update
Master HPDB, then HomePatrol > Write to HomePatrol.
VERIFYING
---------
Sentinel's status bar shows "Application Version" with the installed version.
IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG
-----------------------
- If the scanner is not found, try another cable, or put the microSD card in a
card reader and tick show all drives.
- If Sentinel reports that a new version is available, it must be installed
before the database can be updated.
- Firmware updates are fetched from Uniden's server (ftp.homepatrol.com); if
that server is unreachable, Update Firmware fails.
DOWNGRADING
-----------
This is the oldest 2.x version found. HomePatrol-2 owners need 2.03.02.
