What Is Business Sentinel?
Business Sentinel is a commercial-grade, camera-as-a-service platform designed specifically for storefront businesses.
It includes:
- Professional installation by IP Lynx Inc.
- A secure local recording foundation
- AI-enabled storefront coverage
- Expandable camera options
- Ongoing maintenance and support
- Structured incident and evidence export workflows
This isn’t DIY security.
This is infrastructure.
Why Most Camera Systems Fail
Many businesses install cameras and assume they’re protected.
But when something actually happens, they discover:
- Footage is difficult to find
- Playback is slow or incomplete
- Video quality isn’t usable
- Exporting footage for police or insurance is confusing
- Systems aren’t properly maintained
Security doesn’t fail at installation.
It fails during investigation.
Business Sentinel is designed to solve that.
Every Sentinel System Starts With a Core Device
Every Business Sentinel installation starts with a core device that provides local recording, reliability, and secure access.
Depending on the size and needs of the site, that core device will be either:
Option 1: CaaS (Camera-as-a-Server)
For smaller storefronts, we can deploy an Advanced AI camera that includes an embedded DW Spectrum server.
This provides:
- Local recording
- AI detection
- Remote access
- A clean, minimal install footprint
Option 2: Sentinel Smart Hub
For businesses that require multiple cameras, want to expand over time, or want to integrate compatible existing cameras (BYOC), we install a Smart Hub Mini Server.
This provides:
- Better scaling for multi-camera sites
- Flexible camera options (Standard, AI, BYOC)
- A stronger foundation for growth
Choose the Level of Intelligence Your Business Needs
All Sentinel systems are built on commercial-grade, NDAA-compliant hardware.
Standard Coverage Cameras
Reliable monitoring with strong core detection features:
- Person and vehicle detection
- Line crossing alerts
- Region entry / exit detection
- Object left or removed alerts
- Searchable event playback
Ideal for entrances, storefronts, and general surveillance.
Advanced AI Cameras (Premium Option)
Enhanced awareness for higher-traffic or higher-risk environments:
- Violence detection
- Fall detection
- Noise classification
- Attribute extraction (clothing color, vehicle attributes, etc.)
- Enhanced AI event filtering
These advanced AI cameras use Milesight Pro NDAA VCA 2.0 with MSense analytics to improve incident detection and speed up investigations.
Privacy-First by Design
Business Sentinel is not a public surveillance program.
Each business:
- Controls its own live view
- Controls its own recordings
- Approves any footage sharing
Police access is supported only with documented request and business consent.
This is a private network — owned and controlled by local businesses.
Built for Growth
Business Sentinel is designed to scale with your business.
Whether you operate:
- A single storefront, or
- A multi-camera property
…your system can expand over time with a consistent platform and professional support.
Businesses can:
- Add standard cameras
- Upgrade to advanced AI cameras
- Integrate compatible existing cameras (BYOC licensing)
- Improve coverage as the site grows
