"Guard Smarter is more than a tagline, it describes how we believe security should work," said Uday Kiran Chaka, CEO of Sentry AI. "AI can provide continuous awareness and coordinate responses, while human guards bring judgment and a physical presence when they're needed most."

"Together, they deliver better security with greater efficiency without requiring hardware or software replacement, at roughly one-fifth the cost of on-site guards," said Farhat Ali, COO of Sentry AI. "That combination is what a smarter security operation looks like."

At the center of v11 is Agentic Patrol, which enables AI agents to proactively patrol properties, analyze activity and investigate potential threats rather than simply waiting for alarms to sound.

Sentry AI v11 also connects the broader security environment. New integrations with access control systems and multiple sensor types allow AI agents to correlate information across cameras, doors, gates and other devices, creating a more complete picture of what is happening on a property in real time.

When a physical response is required, Guard Dispatch connects AI-detected incidents directly with human security personnel. New guard tracking and mapping capabilities give operators real-time visibility into incidents and guard locations, enabling faster, better-coordinated responses.

Together, these capabilities give organizations a new way to think about guarding. Agentic AI now handles roughly 90% of the work of an on-site guard, freeing remote and on-site personnel to focus on what they do best: engaging with authorities and the public. The result is a security team that can cover more ground, respond faster and operate more intelligently: guarding smarter.
