CITIES & PUBLIC SAFETY
The intelligence layer for the public-safety operations center.
City and public-safety teams run more cameras than any team can watch. Sentinel turns that network into real-time decisions — one live picture across the whole city, fast and coordinated incident response, the ability to find a person or vehicle of interest in seconds, and evidence that holds up later. Cloud, on-premise, or air-gapped — with privacy and audit built in.

The Gap
A city’s cameras already see everything. Almost none of it turns into a decision.
No team can watch a city’s camera network in real time — so legacy systems record for review after the fact, and by then the trail is cold. Sentinel closes that gap: every frame watched, what matters surfaced in real time, the same picture for operators and investigators.
What You Need to Get Done
Four jobs, one platform.
City-wide situational awareness
A single live picture across the entire camera network — a map of every camera, a real-time activity feed, event density on a heatmap, and a threat level computed from what is actually happening on the ground.
Fast, coordinated incident response
Shared pins, a running incident log, camera control hand-off, and an incident-commander role so everyone knows who owns the call. Crowd-density and loitering alerts fire before conditions become dangerous.
Find a person or vehicle fast
Search every camera's history and return every appearance, ranked, in well under a second across millions of records. Plate search with fuzzy matching and a full sighting history completes the picture.
Evidence that holds up in court
Every event exports as a sealed pack with a tamper-evident chain of custody — operator identity, timestamps, and a verifiable hash anchor — built so it stands up to challenge.
Cross-camera tracking
Pick a subject and Sentinel draws their route across cameras on a map with a click-to-jump timeline — no manual camera-by-camera review.
Pattern-of-life intelligence
Every subject profile shows a 7-day-by-24-hour activity map with a regularity score, the people most often seen alongside them, and whether they are anchored or mobile.
Follow the route across every camera — automatically.
A person of interest moves across neighborhoods, transit, and public spaces — each watched by a different part of the network. Sentinel searches every camera’s history and returns every appearance, ranked, in well under a second across millions of records. It draws their route on a map with a click-to-jump timeline, and the same subject holds one color across every screen so a city-wide movement reads at a glance.
- Every appearance retrieved across the full camera estate in under a second
- Route rendered as a polyline on the live map — click any point to jump to the clip
- Same subject held in one color across all cameras and all operators
- Plate search with fuzzy matching and full sighting history
- Pattern-of-life shows regularity, co-occurrence, and anchor locations

Public-safety power, with public accountability built in.
For a public-safety buyer, accountability isn’t paperwork — it’s the licence to operate. Sentinel puts it in the data model, not in a side spreadsheet. Lawful basis is recorded on every watched subject, alerts auto-suspend when authorization lapses, and every operator action is logged to a tamper-evident audit chain.
- Lawful basis with document reference, expiry, and automatic review
- Alerts auto-suspend when authorization lapses — no quiet over-running
- Subject-access requests handled as a first-class workflow (export or erase)
- Retention enforced per camera, zone, or event type; holds pin open-matter data
- Frameworks supported: GDPR · PDPL · RIPA · CJIS · SOC 2 · ISO 27001

Accountable by Design
The controls public bodies are held to.
Lawful basis on every watched subject
Document reference, expiry, and automatic review. Watchlist alerts auto-suspend when authorization lapses — a watchlist entry can't quietly outlive its mandate.
Privacy by design
Default privacy controls, per-camera data-protection records and signage, and subject-access handling — export or erase — built into the platform.
Retention & holds
Automatic retention per camera, zone, or event type; litigation holds pin what must be kept for an open matter; subject-access requests are a first-class workflow.
Tamper-evident audit
Every operator action is logged and hashed into a chain you can independently verify later — proof that operators followed protocol, not just that cameras were running.
Role-based access
Granular roles — operator, supervisor, investigator, administrator, auditor — so multi-team and multi-agency deployments control exactly who sees what.
Frameworks supported
Sentinel is built to satisfy GDPR, PDPL, RIPA, CJIS, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 — the frameworks public bodies are held to.
Deployment
You own your data. You choose where it runs.
Run the full platform inside your own network with offline licensing — every feature works with no internet dependency. A multi-agent architecture scales from one district to a metropolitan network, using the ONVIF cameras you already own.
The Platform
Explore the pillars that power public-safety operations.
Respond
Command Center, SOC Command Wall, Mission Live Board, alerts, and PTZ — the tools that run the operations center and coordinate the incident as a team.
