Deep Sentinel

Deep Sentinel helps QSRs protect employees, reduce theft, and maintain a safer environment — even during peak hours or late-night shifts. Our AI-powered system flags threats in real time, so live guards can step in before problems escalate.

Quick-serve restaurant security should prevent problems — not just document them.

Deep Sentinel’s AI-powered system helps stop theft, loitering, and late-night incidents before they disrupt your business or put your staff at risk.

AI watches every frame. Live human guards respond when it counts.

Here’s how our system works to stop security issues before they impact your team, operations, or bottom line.

Step 1: AI detects threats instantly

Our intelligent system analyzes video in real time to identify suspicious behavior the moment it happens.

Step 2: A live guard responds within 30 seconds

The live feed is instantly streamed to a trained guard, who assesses the situation in real time.

Step 3: The guard intervenes to stop the crime

Using two-way audio and sirens, the guard engages directly and contacts law enforcement if needed.

Why quick-service restaurants choose Deep Sentinel

Protect against after-hours break-ins

QSRs are frequent targets when closed — especially those with cash registers or valuable equipment. Our live guards intervene the moment suspicious activity is detected, stopping intruders before damage or theft occurs.

Deter loitering and suspicious behavior

Unwanted activity around your drive-thru or entryway can create safety concerns and turn away customers. Deep Sentinel uses AI and live monitoring to address issues proactively and de-escalate before they become problems.

Help prevent internal theft and liability claims

QSRs experience high employee turnover, making internal security just as important as external threats. Our system can be configured to monitor for after-hours access or suspicious activity inside the building.

Support late-night and solo staff

Fast food locations often rely on small overnight crews. With Deep Sentinel, staff have an extra layer of protection — live guards are standing by to respond to threats, check on unusual activity, or provide real-time support.

FAQs: Deep Sentinel Restaurant Security Cameras

How do Deep Sentinel guards prevent crime at my restaurant?

When Deep Sentinel’s restaurant security cameras detect movement on your property, they instantly stream footage to a local hub. There, AI analyzes each frame to find anomalies and dismiss non-threats. Live remote guards then intervene through a two-way speaker, set off an alarm, and contact your local law enforcement. Learn more about how Deep Sentinel worksA.

 

How is Deep Sentinel’s restaurant monitoring solution different from residential monitoring?

Deep Sentinel’s business surveillance services (including restaurant video surveillance) offer all of the best features of our residential service, plus business-only benefits. In addition to being our highest priority, your property also gets:

  • Instant Intervention: Live footage streams to our monitoring center within 10 seconds, depending on internet speeds. Deep Sentinel guards intervene immediately when they notice suspicious activity.
  • After-Hours Monitoring: Set custom monitoring hours in the Deep Sentinel app. If your restaurant closes early, takes a holiday off, or changes operating hours, you can quickly make adjustments with a few simple clicks.
  • Indoor Camera Installation: Unlike residential properties, businesses can install Deep Sentinel security cameras indoors upon approval to protect your premises after you’re closed for the day.
How do the guards know whether an employee or a criminal is on my property?

Since our guards monitor your property after your typical hours of operation, they assume that no one (including your employees) will be onsite. If the guards get an alert that someone is present after hours, they watch and assess the situation. If they witness criminal behavior, the guards will intervene, set off an alarm, and contact the police.

However, if they witness “non-threatening” behavior, like an employee closing up, the guards will come onto the speaker in a non-elevated manner and address the person’s reason for being there. The employee can then provide an explanation and recite your business’s safe word, a customizable code for employees to verify themselves.

Can I view the footage and talk to visitors myself?

We are more than happy to handle your security entirely. However, if you want to be more hands-on, the Deep Sentinel mobile app lets you access footage and engage with anyone on camera, just as the guards do. If your employees need access, you can add multiple user accounts and set up user permissions for each account.

How are security camera systems for restaurants installed?

Deep Sentinel’s wireless camera systemsA, perfect for smaller properties, can be installed on your ownA in under 30 minutes. If you need a hard-wired PoE camera systemA or prefer professional installation, we are happy to recommend a professional installer from our nationwide network. Contact us and we can connect you with an installer in your area.

What is the required agreement length for surveillance services?

Deep Sentinel only requires a 1-year commitment for restaurant monitoring services. This is significantly shorter than the industry average because we’re confident you’ll love our service. You can also try Deep Sentinel risk-free with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

What crimes do restaurant camera systems with live monitoring prevent?

Deep Sentinel can prevent crimes of all time. Some of the most common after-hours crimes at restaurants include loitering, burglary, theft, and vandalism. Deep Sentinel’s restaurant security services stand ready to protect you from any threats.
