Deep Sentinel

Better protection: Proprietary AI tech that stops crime in real time

Deep Sentinel: Proprietary AI detects threats allowing guards to focus on what matters most: protecting your business from potential intruders.

ECAM: Does not rely on AI, forcing their guards to watch static feeds around the clock.

Faster response: Responses within 30 seconds.

Deep Sentinel: AI detects threats in 5-7 seconds. Guards engage within 30 seconds. If your security system doesn’t act that fast, you’re already too late.

ECAM: Doesn’t commit to a response time,

Pricing
Service Price

Live guard service (monthly fee)

$50/month per added camera

Custom quote model — ECAM tailors pricing per site, which can lead to higher costs for complex deployments.

Go-to-market

Reseller partners & lower cost = lower prices

Enterprise-oriented direct model and large-scale roll-outs may mean higher minimum spends.

Hardware Prices

Hardware bundle up-front cost

• Hub: $249
• Camera: $150 (3 minimum)
• Wifi Range Extender: $30
• Battery Kit: $88

Pricing varies significantly as ECAM may use mobile units or custom installations, making hardware costs less transparent.

Warranty

1 year warranty on all wireless and PoE hardware

Warranty terms are site-specific at ECAM — customers should confirm terms for mobile vs fixed systems.

Contract required

1 year

Often long-term contracts for large-scale deployments; flexibility may be limited for smaller customers.

Integrates with third party cameras

Deep Sentinel Yes

Deep Sentinel Yes – but integration complexity may increase depending on existing site infrastructure.

Leasing & Payment Plans

Deep SentinelNow Available

Deep SentinelYes — though terms vary and may include setup fees.

Service - How Do They Prevent Crime?

Live monitoring by human guards

Deep SentinelYes

Deep SentinelYes – 24/7 operations, though scaling for very large sites may require multiple contracts.

Response time service level agreement

Deep SentinelYes – AI + human review

Deep SentinelYes – but SLA details may be proprietary; faster response depends on camera placement, system health and human review.

Proprietary AI to reduce costs and improve precision

Deep SentinelYes

Deep SentinelYes – ECAM claims in-house AI engine (“Integra”) but effectiveness may vary site-to-site.

Siren

Deep SentinelYes

Deep SentinelYes – deterrence features included, though deployment must be validated on mobile vs permanent units.

Two-way audio

Deep SentinelYes

Deep SentinelYes – available, though legacy camera systems may not support full feature set immediately.

Incident reports provided

Deep SentinelYes

Deep SentinelYes – detailed analytics and review teams included, but higher service tiers may cost more.

Hardware

Overview

Every Deep Sentinel package includes a smart AI Hub and wireless or hard-wired PoE cameras for outdoor use.

ECAM offers both mobile units and fixed installs; flexibility is strong, but pilot programs and mobile setups may incur higher overhead.

High-def cameras

Deep SentinelYes

Deep SentinelYes – HD, multi-sensor and thermal models available though cost may rise for premium options.

Wireless cameras

Deep SentinelYes

Deep SentinelYes – wireless mobile units supported, but remote connectivity and power logistics may complicate installs.

PoE cameras

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do businesses switch from ECAM to Deep Sentinel?

Businesses choose Deep Sentinel for its real-time security prevention, affordable pricing, and advanced AI technology. With faster police engagement, lower false alarms, and stronger deterrence features, Deep Sentinel delivers a more effective security solution than ECAM.

Is Deep Sentinel a better alternative to ECAM?

 Yes. Deep Sentinel offers video surveillance solutions with AI-powered cameras, faster response times, flat-rate pricing, and advanced deterrent tech like two-way audio and sirens. It’s built to prevent crime before it happens, making it a leading ECAM alternative.

Does ECAM use AI technology like Deep Sentinel?

 No. ECAM relies on human guards manually reviewing video footage. Deep Sentinel uses proprietary AI to detect threats within seconds, allowing guards to focus only on real risks for faster, smarter intervention.

Is Deep Sentinel more affordable than ECAM?

Yes. Deep Sentinel uses a transparent, fair use flat-rate pricing model at $50/month per added camera. ECAM’s pricing is variable, often higher, and based on incident volume or activity level, making it harder to predict monthly costs.

Which video surveillance provider offers the fastest response time?

Deep Sentinel offers guard engagement within 30 seconds of a verified threat, thanks to real-time AI analysis. ECAM does not provide a published service level agreement (SLA) for response times.

Can Deep Sentinel integrate with third-party cameras like ECAM?

Yes. Deep Sentinel supports integration with select third-party cameras, giving businesses the flexibility to use existing hardware while upgrading to AI-powered monitoring and live guard intervention.

How do Deep Sentinel guards prevent crime on my property?

Once our AI-technology detects a potential threat, your camera’s feed is instantly streamed to our live guards. Deep Sentinel guards can then immediately intervene through your camera’s microphone, set-off a 104dB alarm, and contact law enforcement in seconds. Learn more about how the system works here.

How do the guards know if a criminal is on my property?

LiveSentinel guards are highly trained to recognize and respond to key behavioral patterns across commercial environments. When activity appears normal—such as employees arriving for shifts, deliveries being made, or routine maintenance—our guards continue to monitor discreetly until the area is confirmed secure. If any behavior seems out of place, guards will make contact through the on-site speaker in a calm, professional manner to verify the individual’s purpose. Should suspicious or criminal actions occur, our team acts immediately—issuing a live audio warning, activating on-site alarms, and coordinating directly with local law enforcement as needed. LiveSentinel ensures your business stays protected, day and night, without disruption to daily operations.
