Why Sentinel Exists

The Risk You Feel Is Real — And Fixable

The security leaders we work with carry the same quiet weight: you know it could happen here. You’ve added cameras, drills, and locked doors — but you’re still relying on someone to notice a weapon with their own eyes. When seconds matter, that gap is the one that keeps you up at night.

Cameras Record, They Don’t Protect

Your campus may be covered in cameras, but no team can watch every feed at once. Most systems tell you what happened after the fact. The solution we deploy is designed to see a visible weapon the moment it appears — so you can move your people to safety before a shot is fired.

First Responders Arrive Without a Clear Picture

911 calls rarely include precise details: how many threats, where they are, which entrance is safe. Responders arrive guessing. Those guesses cost time, and time costs lives. You deserve a layer that gives law enforcement real, live situational awareness — so they’re not walking in blind.

The Threat Starts Outside the Building

In parking lots, sidewalks, and entryways, an attacker often shows a weapon before stepping inside. Traditional security doesn’t see that moment. The platform we bring to your campus watches those spaces automatically, buying you crucial seconds to lock doors, move students, and start response protocols.

Reactive Measures Leave a Dangerous Gap

Metal detectors, drills, and lockdown plans matter — but they only activate after a threat is already at your door. Without proactive detection, your “plan” still depends on luck. The technology we deploy closes that gap: eyes that never blink, and a partner operations center with people ready to verify and alert.

Growing Pressure From Parents and Boards

Families ask harder questions. Boards demand visible action. Insurance and legal teams expect you to show that you’ve done everything reasonably possible. Documented, proactive detection is no longer a nice-to-have — it’s what decision makers are expected to have in place.

No One Wants a Fortress

You need true protection, not a prison. Heavy-handed checkpoints and constant surveillance undermine trust and belonging. The solution we deploy is built to be nearly invisible to your community while radically increasing safety behind the scenes.

How It Works

AI Eyes, Human Judgment, Coordinated Response

We deploy a layer that sits on top of the cameras you already own. When a visible firearm appears, the system detects it, a U.S. military–trained specialist verifies it in an operations center, and a clear, actionable alert reaches your team and first responders — in as fast as 3 to 5 seconds.

STEP 01

AI Gun Detection

The technology connects to your existing security cameras — indoors and outdoors. It analyzes over 36,000 video frames per second, trained on more than one million images to recognize firearms in any environment. The moment a visible weapon appears on any feed, it’s flagged.

Milliseconds

STEP 02

Human Verification

Every detection is reviewed in real time by trained specialists in a dedicated operations center — 24/7/365. They confirm whether the image is a true threat before any alert fires. That human layer keeps false alarms near zero and keeps your community’s trust intact.

Seconds

STEP 03

Instant Alerts & Response

Once verified, alerts go to your designated team and, where configured, to first responders. They receive exact shooter location and context — so your staff can move people to safety and law enforcement can respond with clarity, not guesswork.

3–5 Seconds Total

“It is almost impossible for us to monitor cameras constantly. This is very helpful because our first responders would like to know exactly where the threat is inside the building.”

— Police Officer and School Resource Officer, Mount Holly

What You Gain

Protection First, Without Losing Who You Are

What we bring to your campus isn’t just another product. It’s a shift in posture — from hoping someone will notice a threat in time, to knowing there is a layer that is always watching for the one thing that shouldn’t be there, so your people can focus on what they’re there for.

Seconds That Save Lives

By detecting a weapon outside your building or in a hallway before shots are fired, the solution gives you time to lock doors, shelter students, and guide people to safety. In every after-action report, seconds matter. Saving time means saving lives.

Staff Free to Teach & Serve

Your teachers, administrators, ushers, and volunteers shouldn’t spend their day watching screens. The platform does the watching for them and only interrupts when something is wrong — so they can stop carrying the fear of what they might miss.

Leadership You Can Stand Behind

Superintendents, principals, pastors, and board members can stand in front of their communities and point to a real, documented layer of proactive detection. It’s the kind of decision that answers the question “what did you do to prevent this?” before it’s ever asked.

Documented, Proactive Security

The technology we deploy is the only AI visual gun detection to hold a DHS SAFETY Act Designation — meaning the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has high confidence in its ability to detect guns. That’s not a marketing line; it’s a credential that matters to insurers, regulators, and legal teams.

Privacy and Dignity Intact

The system is built to detect weapons, not faces. It doesn’t identify people, track worshippers, or listen to conversations — so your community can move freely while still benefiting from quiet, constant protection. No surveillance state; just eyes on the one thing that doesn’t belong.

Fast, Low-Disruption Deployment

In most cases, we connect to your existing camera network. No rip-and-replace. No major construction, no weeks of downtime — and at an average cost of less than a few cups of coffee per student, employee, or visitor per year. The gap between deciding and being protected is measured in days, not quarters.

Responders Who Arrive Informed

Instead of “there’s a shooter somewhere,” first responders get exact shooter location and context. That situational awareness is what security and law enforcement leaders consistently point to as one of the most operationally significant capabilities — it changes how an incident unfolds.

Trust From Parents & Congregants

Parents and congregants want to know more than “we have a plan.” Being able to say you’ve deployed proactive AI gun detection with human verification — and that it’s DHS-designated — is a concrete answer that builds trust instead of anxiety.

Who We Serve

Built for Schools and Faith Communities — Ready for Any Public Space

🏫

K–12 Schools & Campuses

From elementary to high school, the solution we deploy was built to protect children from the growing threat of mass shootings. We work with superintendents, principals, and safety directors to add a proactive layer that spots guns on campus cameras 24/7/365 — without turning your school into a fortress.

🎓

Colleges & Universities

Open campuses, large events, and residence halls create unique challenges. We add a proactive layer across walkways, parking structures, and common areas — giving campus police and security teams earlier insight and exact location data when it matters most.

⛪

Churches & Houses of Worship

Mass shootings and hate crimes in places of worship have increased over the last two decades. The solution we bring helps protect congregations and staff from armed attackers — quietly, without changing the character of worship or the trust your community has in you.

🏟️

Arenas & Event Venues

Stadiums, gyms, and performing arts centers host thousands of guests with multiple entry points and crowded concourses. We layer intelligence onto the cameras you already have, so operations and security leaders get a higher level of situational awareness — and first responders get exact threat location.

🛍️

Shopping Centers & Commercial

Since 2006, over 75% of workplace mass shootings have occurred at commercial businesses. The technology we deploy holds the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s SAFETY Act Designation as an effective measure against active shooter situations — protecting customers and employees and limiting liability.

🏛️

Government & Civic Buildings

Founded by military veterans and elite technologists, our partner’s software helps secure government facilities across America. It’s the only solution of its kind to hold a DHS SAFETY Act Designation — so decision makers can point to federal confidence in the technology’s ability to detect guns.

Why This Solution

Not Just Another Camera System

Proactive by Design

Made to Prevent, Not Just Record

The technology we deploy exists for one purpose: to catch a visible firearm before tragedy unfolds. Where traditional systems focus on recording incidents, this layer is engineered to change them — shifting your posture from reactive “what happened?” to proactive “we saw it coming and moved people to safety.”

Human + AI

Intelligent Software, Real People

We don’t hand life-or-death decisions entirely to algorithms. The platform combines advanced AI with U.S. military–trained specialists in a dedicated operations center who review every detection in real time — so you avoid false alarms and genuine threats are never ignored.

DHS SAFETY Act Designation

The Only AI Visual Gun Detection With It

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has granted the technology we deploy a SAFETY Act Designation — reserved for systems that demonstrate proven effectiveness. It’s the only AI visual gun detection to hold it. When a board or insurer asks “how do we know this works,” you have a government-issued answer.

Use What You Have

Works With Existing Camera Infrastructure

In most deployments, there is no rip-and-replace. We connect to the cameras you already have — indoors and outdoors — and add a layer that analyzes over 36,000 frames per second. That keeps cost and disruption minimal; the gap between signing and protection is often days.

Response Ready

First Responders Get Exact Location

Alerts deliver what responders need most: exact shooter location, not just an address. Security and law enforcement leaders consistently describe this as one of the most operationally significant capabilities — it changes how an incident unfolds.

Inside & Outside

From Parking Lot to Classroom

Active shooter threats often start outside. The solution integrates with your cameras to detect visible guns in parking lots, streets, and entry plazas — even in crowded areas — so you get warning before someone reaches the door. Interior coverage runs 24/7/365 with exact location details for evacuation and response.

Questions We Hear Often

Honest Answers

We already have cameras everywhere. Why would we need this?

Cameras by themselves are passive — they capture what happened. The solution we deploy turns every one of those cameras into an active sensor that is always watching for visible weapons. You keep your existing investment and add the one thing it can’t do today: proactive detection, with alerts in as fast as 3–5 seconds.

What about false alarms? We can’t evacuate the building every time AI thinks it sees something.

That’s why every detection is reviewed by a live, trained specialist in an operations center before any alert fires. If it’s harmless, nothing goes out. If it’s real, you get a clear, credible alert. The human layer is what keeps false alarms near zero and your operational credibility intact.

We’re sensitive to privacy and faith community concerns.

We are too. The system detects objects — weapons — not people. It doesn’t identify individuals, track worshippers, or listen to conversations. Your community can gather freely, knowing there is protection without the surveillance that so many have rightly pushed back on.

Is this going to require a major infrastructure project?

In most cases, no. We connect to the cameras and infrastructure you already have, then configure the platform around your layout and procedures. At an average cost of less than a few cups of coffee per student or employee per year, it’s designed to be deployable without a massive capital cycle.

How do we know this will actually help in a real incident?

The technology holds the only DHS SAFETY Act Designation for AI visual gun detection — so the federal government has evaluated it and has high confidence in its ability to detect guns. It’s been featured on NBC Nightly News, ABC, CBS, CNN, and the New York Times, and is deployed across hundreds of schools and facilities. We’ll walk your team through how it would work on your actual campus or property.
