Residential security

Someone is watching your home while it happens.

Doors, driveways, yards and gates across Southern California — covered by cameras that wake a real guard the moment a person steps into your protection zone, so they get a warning instead of a way in.

Protecting a business or commercial property instead?

Commercial security
How our system works

A guard sees it, speaks up, and stops it

Four things happen between someone stepping onto your property and them deciding to leave. None of them wait for you to check your phone.

Step 010–4 sec

Detect

AI-powered cameras watch defined protection zones on your property and wake the instant a person crosses one — not every passing car, shadow, or stray cat.

Step 02~6–9 sec

Verify

The live feed streams straight to the Deep Sentinel surveillance center, where a trained guard is typically watching your property within about six to nine seconds of the event starting.

Step 03Seconds later

Intervene

The guard speaks directly through the camera’s two-way speaker, calls out exactly what the person is doing, and can trigger the siren and strobe. Most people leave immediately.

Step 04If needed

Dispatch

If they don’t leave, the guard escalates to law enforcement as a witness to a crime in progress — with eyes on the scene, not an unverified alarm signal.

Timing reflects Deep Sentinel's published guard response service levels. Real-world timing varies with internet speed and site conditions.

Why it's different

Recording is evidence. Intervention is prevention.

A doorbell camera tells you who took the package. A live guard stops them from picking it up.

The traditional way

Cameras that watch

  • Records for laterCameras capture the incident so you can hand footage over after the fact. The break-in still happened.
  • The alarm fires after entryMost systems trigger once a door or window is already open — by then the damage is done.
  • You are the monitorMotion alerts pile up on your phone and it is on you to work out which one actually matters.
  • Unverified calls to policeAlarm-only calls are treated as low priority in most jurisdictions, and false alarms can carry fines.
  • A sign is the only deterrentA yard sign and a blinking light do not change what someone decides to do next.
The AVS way

Cameras that watch back

  • A live guard is watchingReal people at the Deep Sentinel surveillance center see the event unfold while it is still happening.
  • A warning before entryThe guard speaks through the camera while the person is still outside, at the fence, or at the door.
  • AI filters the noise for youOnly genuine human activity inside your protection zones reaches a guard. You are not triaging alerts.
  • Verified crime in progressWhen police are called, it is by someone watching live and describing it — that changes how the call is prioritized.
  • Deterrence, not documentationMost events end with a voice, a siren, and someone walking away — not a police report and an insurance claim.

Put the cameras where you want them

Pull up your own home from above, then place each camera where it actually belongs. Set what it watches, how wide the lens is, and how far it reaches — the finished layout goes to our engineer with your site visit request.

05 Terms and Conditions

A quick outline of the terms that apply to any AVS project. The full document is linked as a PDF below the form.

01Scope of Work

AVS provides the equipment, labor, configuration, and services listed in your accepted proposal, estimate, or work order. Anything outside that scope — extra labor, wiring, troubleshooting, relocations, finish work, permits, or third-party coordination — is billed separately at AVS's then-current rates.

02Equipment & Special Orders

Equipment, devices, accessories, and materials purchased through AVS are considered specially procured for your project. Once approved, ordered, or procured, special-order items are non-returnable and non-refundable, except where prohibited by law.

03Existing Conditions & Client Responsibilities

AVS is not responsible for the condition, compatibility, performance, or future reliability of pre-existing wiring, network hardware, customer-furnished devices, or third-party equipment. You provide safe, unobstructed access to work areas and have an authorized decision-maker available during installation or service visits.

04Network & Site Requirements

Where a system depends on Internet, Wi-Fi, power, cellular, or cloud connectivity, you're responsible for suitable infrastructure — adequate bandwidth, an available network port, stable power, and compatible environmental conditions. Extra labor or materials caused by deficient power, router or firewall issues, VPN conflicts, or weak signal are billed as additional work.

05Scheduling, Estimates & Change Orders

Installation and service appointments are scheduled based on AVS availability. Estimated dates are good-faith targets and may shift for weather, access, product availability, permitting, third-party delays, or unforeseen site conditions. If hidden conditions, code issues, IT complications, or client-requested revisions come up, AVS may issue a written or electronic change order adjusting price, scope, materials, or schedule.

06Fees & Payment Terms

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, project fees are billed 50% to schedule the project and order equipment, 25% upon delivery of equipment to the site, and 25% upon completion of the installation. Deposits, progress payments, service fees, trip charges, recurring charges, and final balances are due as stated on the applicable AVS proposal, invoice, or work order — invoices are due upon receipt unless otherwise agreed in writing. Balances remaining unpaid more than 30 days after the invoice due date accrue interest at 10% per month, or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less, until paid in full. AVS may suspend further work, remote access, service scheduling, or monitoring-connected functionality on invoices unpaid 30 days past due — reconnection or return-visit fees may apply before service resumes.

07Warranty & Service

Unless a longer period is stated in writing, AVS warrants installation labor and workmanship for one year from substantial completion. Manufacturer warranties, if any, are governed solely by the manufacturer's terms. Post-installation support, troubleshooting, truck rolls, and onsite service visits outside the one-year workmanship warranty are billable at AVS's then-current rates.

08Limitation of Liability

AVS is not an insurer — our fees reflect the value of the goods and services provided, not the value of your premises, contents, operations, or potential losses. To the extent permitted by law, AVS is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages. AVS's total liability under this agreement will not exceed the amount outlined in our applicable liability policy.
