Monitoring Prevents Home Invasions

A story about how Deep Sentinel was created after a neighbor's home invasion incident.

"I personally had a ton of cameras and was a camera fanatic for a long time. My neighbor had a home invasion, so the neighborhood freaked out since it was a pretty safe area. We had the police come, and I introduced myself as the head of the neighborhood watch.

I asked the cop, 'Look, my neighbor has all these cameras and an alarm system. Why did she still get a home invasion?' The cop, who I'm now friends with, said the rudest possible thing. He says 'Well, you're the tech guy - what did you think the freaking cameras were gonna do?'

It was this moment of utter eye-opening realization. They're just cameras and don't actually stop anything. So I spent the next 5 years building a product that turns cameras into something that can stop crimes.

Now we stop about 15-20 crimes a day - from stealing packages to attempted break-ins and assault. When we call police, it's 100% verified, unlike alarm companies where 99% of calls are false alarms."
