Sentry AI helps Santa Clara law enforcement bust crime ring

Sentry AI has demonstrated its technology in a high-profile crime bust in collaboration with the Santa Clara Police Department. Sentry AI's digital coworker, Sentry Companion, played a critical role in the arrest of 12 burglary suspects involved in a mail and package theft ring. This successful operation, covered by NBC News, ABC News, KTVU, Mercury News, and other major news outlets, underscores the effectiveness of AI-powered security in today's world.

In a statement, Uday Kiran Chaka, CEO of Sentry AI, emphasized the breakthrough moment for AI security: "Sentry Companion has truly arrived as a digital coworker that enhances the safety and security of our communities by bringing technology and people together efficiently. This is just the beginning of a new era in security."

According to KTVU's coverage of the event, one perpetrator was caught on video unlocking all 130 mailboxes at a condominium complex with a single postal service key. Law enforcement said that the video, in conjunction with rapid reporting, helped them develop leads in the case.

Sentry Companion uses an existing security camera system as its "eyes, ears, and mouth" to monitor, detect, and actively deter crime. By utilizing cloud-based AI models to analyze video footage, Sentry Companion identifies intrusions, abnormal behavior, and unauthorized access and even communicates with potential intruders to prevent crimes before they happen.

Sentry Companion provides around-the-clock surveillance across multiple locations starting at $500 per site per month.
