Introduction 

 

PQ+ Sentry Add On 
 
The Dranetz 

HDPQ

®

 family is capable of integrating with a GoPro 

Hero3+ camera. With this option, the HDPQ can trigger on rms 
(including sags / swells) or impulse type events and control the 
GoPro camera in two modes, either loop mode or record time 
period. While the Dranetz HDPQ is monitoring power parameters, 
the GoPro can be synchronized to record the visual / audio 
environmental surroundings of your installation. The Dranetz 
HDPQ triggers the camera to save video at the time of a 
disturbance. 
 
Note:   This Add On feature is only available for use with the WiFi  

capable Dranetz HDPQ Xplorer, Xplorer 400, and Guide 
instruments.
