Nobody watching your cameras
No agents or guards watch them: the AI on the Brain decides and acts, and the alert comes to you. Your 24/7 recording stays on the Brain at your property; on paid plans the cloud AI analyzes events and keeps event clips.
PerimeterEye vs Deep SentinelA guard watching your cameras, or nobody needing to.
PerimeterEye answers on the property, in seconds, by itself. A motorized searchlight locks on and follows them, an AI voice describes them and tells them to leave, and a 130 dB siren sounds if they stay.
The AI voice warning and AI siren come with Standard and up, and every system starts with a month of AI Guard.
Deep Sentinel sells wireless cameras whose hub flags people for live guards, who speak through the camera or sound its siren, billed per camera on a one-year contract.12

What PerimeterEye does differently
Each one next to what Deep Sentinel says about its own products, October 2026.
A searchlight that follows them
The Brain turns a motorized searchlight onto the person and keeps the beam on them as they move, with 355° of rotation and 90° of tilt. Every package with a searchlight runs on Brain Full, for full tracking.
At Deep SentinelEach DS2 camera has a strobing LED ring, an LED floodlight and a 102 dB siren.1
Keeps defending with no internet
Detection, recording, searchlight tracking and the siren run on the Brain at your property, so they carry on when the internet drops. The AI voice warning resumes when the connection is back.
One plan for the whole property
No contract and no per-camera fee: Free is $0 for good, and a paid plan covers every camera on the property, month to month. Switching from another company? Get up to $1,000 of their cancellation fee back with a 36-month plan.
At Deep SentinelGuard service is billed monthly for each camera ($55 each on the DS2 order page), with a one-year contract.1
What Deep Sentinel sells, and what PerimeterEye sells
The two lineups, row by row: Deep Sentinel's models, specs and prices from its own pages, PerimeterEye's from the Shop.
| What is compared | Deep Sentinel | PerimeterEye |
|---|---|---|
| The brain of the system | The DS2 hub: its AI picks out people, it stores recordings on 64 GB, and it runs up to six wireless cameras. It has no backup battery.110 | Brain Full: the AI for 1-16 cameras, 1 TB of recording (about 20 days of 24/7 video from 4 cameras) and full searchlight tracking. Brain Lite: 1-12 cameras and 256 GB; it tracks more slowly and less accurately. Both record 24/7 at your property on every plan, Free included. |
| Outdoor cameras | DS2 wireless cameras: Full HD 1080p, a 130° view and a battery that lasts two to three months. A PoE system with 2K and 4K cameras is installed by a professional.1712 | Model 804, in white. 8 MP (4K) with a 2.8 mm starlight lens, full-color night vision, a microphone and speaker for two-way talk, and a metal housing, on one network cable. |
| The front door | Its shop lists a wireless DS2 system and a PoE system; neither includes a doorbell.1712 | Model 704. A video doorbell and intercom with door codes and cards that rings your phones and wall panels. The AI Doorman greets visitors and takes messages on AI Guard. |
| Light | A strobing red LED ring and an LED floodlight on each DS2 camera.12 | A motorized searchlight with 355° of rotation and 90° of tilt, sold with its 90 W PoE injector: the Brain turns the beam onto the person and keeps it on them as they move. It sweeps the property on a schedule, and you can tap a camera's picture to aim it. Full tracking on Brain Full; slower on Brain Lite. |
| Siren | A 102 dB siren on each DS2 camera, sounded by a guard. An optional AI Deterrent plays a preset audio message when a person is detected.1211 | 130 dB with a strobe, on one network cable. The AI siren sounds by itself on serious threats with Standard and up; on any plan you can sound it from the app. It stops after 30 seconds and tells you. |
| Inside the home | Outdoor cameras for homes: Deep Sentinel's guards don't cover indoor cameras at private homes.13 | Model 604. A touchscreen on the wall for live cameras and rewind, modes, the siren and the searchlight, and the front door. Instead of door and window sensors that react when a door or window opens, PerimeterEye is built to answer the person outside, before they reach a door, and it can run alongside an alarm you already have. |
| Power and connection | Wi-Fi: if it drops, the guard service stops and the cameras keep recording to the hub. There's no cellular backup.56 | 8 PoE ports and 2 uplinks at 120 W, and Cat 6 cables in 25, 50 and 75 ft: one cable per device carries its power and video. Every package comes with the switches and cables it needs, so the prices here are for spares. The Brain switches to Wi-Fi if its cable drops. |
| Who answers | A live guard, 24/7, when the AI flags a person: the guard speaks through the camera or sounds its siren, then contacts police and you.12 | None needed. It answers on its own, day and night: nobody has to watch or step in, not even you. The alert and video still reach your phone. |

What each one does, step by step: Deep Sentinel's from its own pages, PerimeterEye's as filmed. An illustration, not a timed test.
Deep Sentinel
- A DS2 camera detects motion; the hub's AI flags a person and the red LED ring starts spinning.2
- A guard at Deep Sentinel's center is assigned to the live stream and decides whether to step in.12
- The guard speaks through the camera or sounds its siren.2
- The guard contacts local police and you.2
Human judgment and a live voice, once a guard is on the feed.
PerimeterEye
- The camera sees a person, and the AI on the Brain reads what they are doing, where, for how long and at what hour.
- The searchlight turns onto them and keeps the beam on them as they move.
- The AI voice describes them and tells them to leave: “You, black hoodie, get away from the car now.”
- If they stay, the 130 dB siren sounds. Your phone already has the alert with live video.
On the property, in seconds, by itself, with nobody on the line.

From the door handle to the searchlight, on film.
On the camera's own clock, 21:04:26 to 21:04:30. Nobody pressed anything: the camera saw it, the Brain judged it, and the searchlight landed on the person.
Filmed September 15, 2026. Live PerimeterEye demonstration. Real footage. Real-time autonomous detection, tracking, and deterrence.
21:04:26Contact with the door handleThe person reaches for the driver’s door. The analysis builds second by second: a person, no match to anyone it knows, loitering at the vehicle, and now contact with the door handle. 
21:04:29Car theft in progressThree seconds after the door handle, the analysis is complete: the activity doesn’t match the household’s patterns and matches vehicle theft. All systems activate. 
21:04:30The searchlight landsThe searchlight hits the person at the driver’s door. The alert reads: spotlight, voice warning and siren activated, with a tap to cancel the escalation. 
21:04:31Running, and the beam followsFive seconds after touching the door handle, the person is running down the drive, and the searchlight has moved with them, away from the car.

PerimeterEye and Deep Sentinel: questions buyers ask
Isn't a live guard smarter than an AI?
A guard brings judgment, and Deep Sentinel's guards bring it live, once they're on the feed; Deep Sentinel says it typically responds within 30 seconds to verified threats. PerimeterEye's AI is on every camera, all the time: in our filmed break-in, the searchlight was on the person 4 seconds after they touched the car's door handle, on the camera's own clock. You stay the person in the loop, with live video, two-way talk and control.
Does anyone at PerimeterEye watch my cameras?
No. No agents or guards watch them: the AI on the Brain decides and acts, and alerts come to you. Your 24/7 recording stays on the Brain at your property; on paid plans, the cloud AI analyzes events and keeps event clips.
How do the costs compare over three years?
With 4 cameras, PerimeterEye's Defense 4 on Standard comes to $4,748.65 over three years, against $9,019 for Deep Sentinel's DS2 with 4 cameras and its guard service, from list prices on October 27, 2026. The arithmetic is on this page.
What happens when the Wi-Fi goes down?
Deep Sentinel says its guard service stops if the Wi-Fi goes out, while the cameras keep recording to the hub, and there is no cellular backup. On PerimeterEye, detection, recording, searchlight tracking and the siren keep running on the Brain at your property; the AI voice warning resumes when the connection is back.
Does anyone have to watch the cameras?
No. PerimeterEye answers on the property by itself, in seconds: the searchlight locks on, the AI voice warning describes the person, and the siren sounds if they stay. Nobody watches your cameras, and the alert and live video reach your phone at the same time. The AI voice warning and AI siren come with Standard and up.
