Surety Cam Pro vs Deep Sentinel Compared on Security, Capability and Cost
Security
Surety Cam Pro
Integrated alarm system
While Surety Cam Pro is an excellent remote security guard service with only cameras, it can also be used with Alarm.com's industry-leading alarm system. Surety's professional video monitoring and alarm monitoring are tightly integrated, providing multiple layers of protection.
Deep Sentinel
Video monitoring only
Deep Sentinel is a great video monitoring service for outdoor security, but it lacks an alarm system to detect intruders who get past the cameras. Multiple layers, including an alarm system, provide stronger security.
Capability
Surety
Record video locally 24/7
Surety cameras can continuously record video 24/7 on an SD card or a local recording device (DVR), ensuring your video is recorded even when the internet stops working. They also record video events in the cloud like Deep Sentinel.
Home & family member awareness
Surety systems do more than just detect intruders. They provide home and family member awareness such as knowing when doors & windows open, ensuring everything is closed and locked, and knowing loved ones are safe.
Home automation & smart home integrations
Surety systems work with the entire Alarm.com ecosystem and can include smart lights, locks, thermostats, garage doors, gates, blinds/shades, water valves, energy meters, irrigation systems, home audio, and more.
Deep Sentinel
Event-based recording in the cloud
Deep Sentinel's DS2 Wireless Camera records video in the cloud when security events occur. It doesn't record locally 24/7. Surety cameras can do both.
Nothing but camera security
Deep Sentinel doesn't offer additional features beyond camera-based perimeter security.
Cost
Surety Cam Pro
Remote guards at a fraction of the price
Surety Cam Pro starts at about half the cost of Deep Sentinel. With each additional monitored camera the savings are greater. Surety Cam Pro monitors 4 cameras for $96 / month, less than the $100 / month it costs to monitor 1 camera with Deep Sentinel. It costs $250 / month to monitor 4 cameras with Deep Sentinel!
Integrated alarm saves even more
If you want alarm monitoring with Deep Sentinel, you have to buy security alarm service from another company. Surety Cam Pro with alarm monitoring service combined saves you even more and works better because they're tightly integrated.
