Nationwide invests in Deep Sentinel for business security service
Summary
) Coinciding with the capital infusion, the company launched a new product — Deep Sentinal for Business — designed to provide after-hours protection against crimes like vandalism and theft for small and medium-sized enterprises. Deep Sentinel for Business, which the company says underwent 10 months of user testing with over a dozen customers, recruits live guards to respond to alerts in 10 seconds or less. From a dashboard, the guards can see every time a person enters or exits a property, and they’re able to engage with potential criminals with two-way audio or contact law enforcement “in seconds.” “Unlike other service providers, Deep Sentinel helps prevent crime through smart detection and live, human intervention — our goal is to actively stop a crime from ever occurring, rather than simply alerting businesses after the damage is done,” said Deep Sentinel cofounder and CEO David Selinger, an early employee at Amazon who previously cofounded homeowner marketplace Redfin. “It’s like having a trained guard at every access point on your property, but at a fraction of the cost.” When it comes to deterring would-be car thieves and box bandits, Deep Sentinel takes a multipronged approach. The weatherproof, IP65-rated cameras record in HD with a 130-degree field of view, wake up from standby in less than 250 milliseconds, last months on a single charge, and pack motion-detected infrared LEDs with a 35-foot range.
