What we watch for
What the daily report covers
We agree the priorities with you during the trial, then watch for them every single day.
Opening and closing
When the store opened and closed, and when each staff member arrived and left.
Customers
How many customers came in each hour and in total, so you know your busiest times.
Register and counter
Every time the drawer opened, including with no sale, with the time it happened.
Staff routine
Time away from the counter, long phone use, and customers left waiting to be served.
Items and free stock
Items leaving without payment, or given away without a sale. We describe what we see and you decide what it means.
Rules and safety
Whether staff were seen checking ID on age restricted sales, doors left open, and any camera that goes offline. We note what we see, we cannot verify age.
Built for vape and smoke shops, convenience stores, mobile and wireless shops, boutiques, small warehouses and fuel stations, from a single store up to a few locations.

The options
Three ways to cover your store
Most small stores already record. Recording shows what happened after the loss. Someone watching shows it while it is happening.
| Recording only | Extra staff or a guard | SentryView | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Someone watching live | No, footage is checked after the event | Yes, one area at a time | Yes, a real person on our team watches all your cameras during your hours |
| Daily written report | No | Only if you ask for one | Yes, every day of the month |
| Monthly cost | Nothing extra | Thousands of dollars per shift | $100 per camera for 12 hours a day, every day. $200 per camera for 24 hours |
| New hardware | None | None | None, we use your cameras |
| Contract | None | Usually a staffing agreement | Month to month. After 3 months of service, you can sign a contract if you like our service |
| Can step in physically | No | Yes | No, we alert you or your emergency contact |
12 hours a day, every day of the month
| Option | Typical monthly cost |
|---|---|
| Guard on site, wages only | $4,500 to $9,000 |
| SentryView, 3 cameras | $300 |
| SentryView, 4 cameras | $400 |
| SentryView, 5 cameras | $500 |
The guard figure is an estimate for about 10 hours a day, every day, at $15 to $30 an hour, before taxes, insurance and management. A guard can step in physically. We watch your cameras and alert you.
About us
A person watches, not software
Every camera is watched live by a real person on our team. No automatic motion alerts decide what matters. A person can tell a customer browsing from someone hiding an item, and a staff member on a break from a register left open.
Then they write up exactly what happened in your daily report. We are an international remote monitoring team that works across time zones, which is how we keep the price low for independent stores.

Is my footage kept private?
We use your access only to watch your cameras. We do not record, download or share footage unless you ask us to in writing, and you can remove our access at any time.
Will you call the police?
No. We message or call you or your emergency contact straight away and tell you what we see. You decide whether to contact the police.
