How does 911 Sentinel compare to ECAM?
ECAM, which united Stealth Monitoring and ECAMSECURE, watches cameras live: its operators warn trespassers over speakers and call police with live reports. It prices live monitoring through a customized proposal rather than a price list, and lists its headquarters in Addison, Texas. 911 Sentinel does the same core job from Lynnwood, with published prices from $900/mo, an alert in 30 seconds and an operator acting within 3 minutes, plus vehicle patrol and drones.
Why choose 911 Sentinel over ECAM
A local team
ECAM lists its headquarters in Addison, Texas, and no Washington office. Ours is in Lynnwood, and western Washington is the only place we work.
A price on the website
ECAM prices live monitoring through a customized proposal. Ours is published: from $900 a month with the camera, installation, maintenance, and 90 days of video included.
Response times you can hold us to
ECAM publishes no response time. We commit to an alert in 30 seconds and an operator acting within 3 minutes, and we add camera-vehicle patrol and drones when a site needs more than cameras.
What you pay for
ECAM quotes each property, so there's no published figure to set beside ours. 911 Sentinel camera monitoring starts at $900 a month with the camera, installation, maintenance, an 8-hour daily window, and 90 days of video included; added cameras start at $250/mo. Ask any monitoring company for the same three things: the monthly price per camera, the contract term, and how fast a person acts on an alert. Ours are on this page: added cameras from $250/mo, a 30-day free trial then month to month, and an operator within 3 minutes.

Common questions
How does 911 Sentinel's price compare with ECAM?
ECAM prices live monitoring through a customized proposal. 911 Sentinel publishes its price: camera monitoring from $900 a month with the camera, installation, maintenance, and 90 days of video included, added cameras from $250/mo, and a 30-day free trial, then month to month.
Is this the same as remote video monitoring or a virtual guard?
Yes, it's live remote video monitoring, also called a virtual guard or remote guarding, with a person on every alert. AI watches the cameras, an alert reaches our team within 30 seconds, and within 3 minutes a human operator warns the person through the camera, then calls your team and the police. The cameras are leased and maintained by us, and the price is published: from $900/mo with no per-call fees.
What cameras do you use? Can you use mine?
We install a leased outdoor camera with a speaker, siren, and spotlights. Models such as the TP-Link Tapo C320WS, the Reolink RLC-811A, and the Reolink Duo 3 PoE all qualify. If your existing cameras give a real-time video feed we can access, we can monitor those instead.
Is there a minimum contract?
No fixed minimum. After the 30-day free trial it's month to month with one month's notice. The equipment is leased, so there's no hardware to buy.
