Bezos-Funded Deep Sentinel Tested

By: Ethan Ace, John Honovich, and Rob Kilpatrick, Published on Mar 28, 2019

Backed by Jeff Bezos, the Silicon Valley startup, Deep Sentinel, has declared:

No One Does Home Security Like We Do

Our Surveillance Team has eyes on criminals from the second they step on your front yard.

if our AI or personnel detects anything suspicious, we will contact law enforcement in seconds. Guaranteed.

with zero false alarms and verified crime in progress, police are quick to respond.

Those are really ambitious and aggressive claims.

But how well does it really work? We bought a system and tested it.

We found some surprising positives and negatives for the product, both in how it worked, who should use it and risk for the company's long-term model.

During **********- Our Live Sentinel Center does have the customer profile of the homeowner, i.e. to contact them in case of an incident. Our Center also has an awareness of the homeowner, but without the need to keep photos or perform facial recognition, this is part of our secret sauce, and is behavioral based. To our end user, they should feel safe their home is being monitored by live (human) guards 24/7, and the technology we are developing to scale to enable this monitoring should be transparent.
