editThis page is not unambiguously promotional for several reasons.
1. The security industry and its technology is not particularly well covered on wikipedia. This is due to several reasons, mostly that end-users of security technology tend not to discuss it, even though it affects everyone in ways that they may not be aware off (i.e. airport, electricity, judicial/criminal systems, military spending etc).
2. The article itself is not particularly promotional, especially when compared to other security companies (see Axis_Communications as an example of a page that has existed since 2005). The concise information on the Senstar_Corporation page is entirely factual, much of which was or is a material of concern to stock holders of publicly traded companies (i.e. Magal_Security_Systems)
3. The company did introduce a new type of patented covert technology to the world in 1981, which is used to protect areas of extremely high importance (again, not common knowledge). This technology still exists and is actively researched in engineering academia.
4. There are no mentions of current product lines, with the exception of that mentioned in point 3.
5. The history of the company directly influenced some of the technology listed on the page Security_alarm. This page previously referred to trademarked product names (from Senstar). I changed those to more accurate, more common, and more generally accepted generic terminology, given Wikipedia's goal of disseminating knowledge.
6. Some technologies, like video surveillance and AI, are of hot topics. Accurate information about what they are, what they do, and who makes and uses them, is definitely a matter of public concern.
I hope my thoughts help address your concerns. If there are specific changes you'd like to see, I'm certainly willing to discuss them.
