Deep Sentinel expands AI surveillance with third-party camera integration
Deep Sentinel has announced its new Bring Your Own Camera (BYOC) program, allowing businesses to integrate third-party security cameras with its AI-driven surveillance system. The initiative aims to provide companies with a cost-effective way to enhance security without the need for a complete infrastructure overhaul.
Through the BYOC program, Deep Sentinel supports a range of camera brands, including Tiandy, Hikvision, Dahua and Uniview. Businesses using cameras that are not yet certified can request compatibility evaluations, with the company continuously expanding its list of supported models.
David Selinger, CEO and founder of Deep Sentinel, tells SecurityInfoWatch the launch serves as a major step in making live surveillance more accessible.
Dedicated Support for Seamless Integration
A critical part of the BYOC program is the support structure Deep Sentinel provides to security contractors. Before installation, a dedicated partner support team conducts a live assisted bench test session to preconfigure the system. During the installation process, real-time assistance is available from a dedicated support engineer. Once the setup is complete, a post-installation system health check ensures optimal performance.
“We are 100% focused on acquiring and retaining high-quality customers — this means that we make installer partner support our No. 1 priority,” Selinger says.
Unlike many security technology providers, Selinger explains that Deep Sentinel keeps its AI development in-house, allowing for faster innovation and tailored updates. “We employ an in-house team of AI engineers and experts, allowing our product updates to reflect our customers’ needs,” he says.
Centralized Management for Multi-Location Businesses
Deep Sentinel’s solution is particularly attractive for businesses with multiple locations. Companies operating 50 or more properties can manage their security through a centralized web portal and mobile app. Users can monitor the status of all connected cameras and Deep Sentinel hubs in real-time, providing full visibility across different store layouts. Franchise owners and multi-site operators can also access and review recorded footage remotely, ensuring ease of use across their security networks.
The company’s third-party camera integration allows businesses to connect their existing Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) camera systems to Deep Sentinel’s advanced surveillance network. Once linked, the AI-driven platform continuously monitors video feeds, detecting unusual activity or security threats with exceptional precision.
When suspicious movement is identified, the AI instantly notifies Deep Sentinel’s team of live security guards. These professionals evaluate the situation and take immediate action, whether by issuing verbal warnings through two-way audio or escalating the incident to law enforcement. This approach is said to enable businesses to enhance their current security infrastructure while benefiting from the company’s real-time threat intervention.
Selinger highlights the scalability of the platform: “Deep Sentinel makes it easy for businesses with multiple locations to centrally manage their security through our online web portal and mobile app. Through our web management application, users can monitor the health status of all connected cameras and Deep Sentinel hubs in real time, ensuring every location is protected.”
Beyond scalability, Deep Sentinel is designed to require minimal staff involvement. Within 24 hours of installation, the company’s AI system analyzes the specific activity patterns of a property and creates a personalized security model. This allows for proactive monitoring without the need for employees to actively manage the system. Business owners can customize notifications for security events, such as threat assessments, live guard interventions, or law enforcement involvement.
Installation time varies depending on the system. Wireless DS2 systems can be set up within minutes, while professionally installed PoE systems take about a day for small to medium-sized businesses. Once operational, the system updates automatically without requiring manual maintenance. Role-based access controls also make it easy to manage permissions across different users and locations.
“Our approach ensures that businesses don’t just install security cameras but actually have an intelligent, proactive defense system in place,” Selinger said. “By integrating existing cameras with our AI-driven platform, businesses gain a powerful, real-time solution for crime prevention and property protection.”
With the BYOC program, Deep Sentinel offers businesses an opportunity to modernize their security infrastructure while leveraging existing hardware investments. By combining AI-powered monitoring, live guard interventions, and seamless integration, Selinger says the company aims to redefine the future of commercial surveillance.
