Sentry is an AI software company based in California, USA with a vision to make the world a smarter and safer place.
Sentry provides SaaS-based software products that work with your security cameras/systems to detect and prevent crime as well as provide surveillance capabilities to better manage your premises.
Sentry’s computer vision technology and other proprietary technologies make your cameras/monitoring systems smarter by filtering out unnecessary alerts that save you time and frustration and to ensure you do not miss the critical alerts.
We work closely with Integration Partners to ensure that our products seamlessly work in our customer environments. We also develop joint marketing strategies to meet the needs of our mutual customers. Please contact us.
We provide critical AI-technologies as well as comprehensive solutions to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of Monitoring Centers by reducing unnecessary alerts while ensuring critical alerts are not overlooked. Please contact our Sales Team.
We work with security dealers across the globe to improve the safety and security of their clients by providing them with a comprehensive solution that not only reduces unwanted alerts but also provides guards interface to improve the efficacy of guard deployment and management. Please contact our Sales Team.
We keep identifying and developing new features and provide software updates frequently. There are no specific dates or times when we release our updates. However, you can sign up for our newsletter at the bottom of our webpage here to get information about our product updates.
Sentry processes images on powerful GPU-based servers in the cloud. This is mainly because our AI requires a GPU to process the images quickly to ensure we send a response to you as fast as we can.
We continuously train our computer vision models through our learning engine to improve the accuracy of our alerts. Our AI errs on the side of generating an alert when in doubt, rather than suppressing it. Based on our experience, on average 85% of the alerts are suppressed. The accuracy rate varies based on implementation. We, therefore, offer a trial period for customers to ensure the accuracy level meets their expectations.
You can purchase Blue Iris software from Sentry or you can directly go to Blue Iris website to purchase and install it first and follow the setup guide here to set up Sentry Smart Alert.
Blue Iris software uses Sentry API to send images from the cameras and receive AI-processed results quickly and securely. Enabling the functionality is just a single mouse-click on a checkbox. No further setup required. All alerts are sent via the Blue Iris communication channels chosen by the user: mobile app, desktop software, text/SMS, or email.
The Sentry Smart Alert trial program lets you experience the cool security features made possible with our latest AI technologies. As an existing Blue Iris user, the setup of Smart Alerts is simple. The trial is totally free and you can cancel anytime during the trial for no charge. After the trial, you have an option to continue Sentry service by subscribing to one of our plans and ensure your peace of mind.
Each Sentry subscription can only be linked to one specific Blue Iris license. If you have multiple Blue Iris licenses, you can choose to subscribe to multiple subscriptions, and all of them will be available in a single portal.
We process images to keep the bandwidth low. Y.ou can reduce bandwidth by correctly setting up motion detection on your cameras
IR and low light images work well, but not as well as those in good light.
Historical images are viewable in the portal for the last 7 days.

Blue Iris is a video management system offered by one of our Partners and Blue Iris perpetual license can be purchased for a one-time charge from our website. Some customers connect their cameras to Blue Iris which offers them an alternative to connecting to us directly using SMTP.
We offer various Sentry AI Plans and Products on a monthly or annual subscription basis. One feature we offer directly on the Blue Iris platform is Smart Alerts which allows you to manage and significantly reduce alerts by seamlessly connecting to our pDetect product. We plan to connect our other products to Blue Iris also.
