Deep Sentinel

 Deep Sentinel

            Your modern security system is a marvel of technology.  So many of the systems we provide at On Pointe are very advanced, possessing a variety of intelligent sensors, automations, and cutting edge AI that make them incredibly helpful to securing your home or business.  Plus, with helpful surveillance tools like Video Doorbells you can take your security into your own hands.  Despite all this technology though, no automated system can make a judgement call, and if you aren’t available to use additional surveillance tools, you aren’t in a position to make key decisions in response to situations as they unfold in real time.

            Therefore, we are so excited to offer Deep Sentinel! The Deep Sentinel video surveillance system comes with full time live monitoring by real people trained and authorized to assess any threat or danger to your property.  AI and automated systems are a tireless and important part of any modern security strategy (including Deep Sentinel) but, having human judgement available to make the decision to confront individuals or contact the authorities, or assess the situation with real human judgement, avoiding false alarms, is priceless.

            The way Deep Sentinel works is that you purchase hardware for their camera system which you then own outright and can self-monitor at no cost on your smartphone or computer.  This is similar to many other surveillance systems, like video doorbells.  Installation is a breeze with rechargeable batteries that can last for months and wireless data transfer over your Wi-Fi network.  You need absolutely no new wiring!

While our certified professionals should install the system to make sure it will work optimally, you don’t need an electrician involved, so installation is fast and our technicians will assess your situation and needs, then guide you through every step of the process.

            While this system is available and excellent for homeowners, it is a powerful commercial grade solution that can help business owners to have peace of mind after closing for the night.  Deep Sentinel’s AI-augmented approach to identifying potential criminal activity is the perfect alternative to hiring expensive live security services in many situations.

            The real power of the Deep Sentinel system is that for just about $3 a day, you can have your security feeds monitored live by trained guards 24/7/365! It doesn’t stop at monitoring though.  Guards can directly address any person with a unique two-way communication system that can help to verify identities and intentions before either calling in authorities, notifying you, or verifying that everything is just fine.  

            While it’s not the same as having a physically present guard, these trained professionals understand how to communicate their authority and prevent crimes before they occur.  Check out this exciting video showing this unique service in action!  Deep Sentinel guarantees 30 second response time for a number of common crimes, often resulting in total prevention. And in cases where prevention isn’t possible, rest easy knowing that Deep Sentinel’s accurate action reports are taken seriously by police and result in faster action by authorities than AI security systems. 

SkyBell Video Doorbells

SkyBell Video Doorbells

            Staying safe in today’s changing world requires a lot of different pieces working together in a cohesive way. As experts in security, we are always exploring new ways to help our clients secure their homes and businesses. Some of these come in the form of new services we can offer, including suggesting and installing new hardware options that operate entirely in parallel to your traditional security system.

            The SkyBell line of video doorbells are a great example of the next step you can take to protect your home, family, and property. For a one-time purchase fee you can add a permanent, subscription-free layer to the security of your home, with live monitoring and automatic motion-activated recording, powered continuously by your existing doorbell’s wiring, accessible from anywhere on your smartphone.

            Unlike many camera systems, the SkyBell Video Doorbell is also suited to Maine’s challenging climate. It’s rate to operate from -40 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. It also has another advantage over traditional video camera surveillance systems, it allows you to engage in two way audio communication. Meaning that you can still talk to anyone who you want to see that drops by while you’re away. This can be especially helpful for talking to people who regularly have to access your home when you’re busy such as house cleaners and pet sitters. Forget to leave a note? No problem, just say hi and let them know in real time when they arrive.

            With sleek, modern silver and black models that can fit virtually any aesthetic while remaining visible enough to act as a deterrent, SkyBell video doorbells are a great addition to any home. Whether you’re concerned about packages being stolen from your porch, want to be able to monitor your home when you’re away, or just know who’s at the door before you answer it, the subscription-free business model SkyBell boasts means that you can use the hardware we install for years to come and the investment will repay its initial cost many times over its lifetime.
            Adding to the long term value of your SkyBell video doorbell is the savings on homeowner’s insurance that comes with it. Just like with a traditional security system, many insurance companies will discount your insurance when you have a SkyBell video doorbell, some companies by as much as 5% thanks to the powerful deterrent these devices offer against burglaries and casual theft. Added to its reasonable price and a lack of a subscription fee, it is a no brainer investment in your peace of mind.

            At On Pointe Security, we believe that the main function of any security system should be to make your life easier and your property safer. With this in mind, we encourage you to work with our qualified professionals for installing and setting up these devices.
