How does 911 Sentinel compare to LVT?
LiveView Technologies (LVT) rents solar camera trailers. Its Essentials tier is $1,000 a month with live streaming and 14 days of recorded video, and it says units run $1,500 to $4,000 depending on configuration. Professional monitoring comes through LVT's monitoring partners. 911 Sentinel includes the watching: from $900/mo, an alert reaches our team within 30 seconds and an operator acts within 3 minutes, with 90 days of video.
Why choose 911 Sentinel over LVT
The watching is included
An LVT trailer still needs you or one of its monitoring partners to watch it. Our $900 a month includes the people: an alert in 30 seconds and an operator acting within 3 minutes.
90 days of video, not 14
LVT Essentials keeps 14 days of recorded video, and its other units typically keep 30. Every 911 Sentinel plan keeps 90 days, so a theft found weeks later is still on record.
A person decides before anyone is warned
LVT's talk-down is automated AI. Ours is a human operator who checks your site rules first, so a crew member or a delivery is never warned off as an intruder.
What you pay for
An LVT Essentials trailer is $1,000 a month before anyone watches it, and its other configurations run $1,500 to $4,000. 911 Sentinel camera monitoring starts at $900 a month with the camera, installation, maintenance, monitoring, and 90 days of video included, so for less than the Essentials trailer alone you get the camera and the people watching it. On-site vehicle patrol, our camera vehicle parked on the property with periodic loops, starts at $2,200, inside LVT's range for a trailer that still needs someone to watch it.

Which fits your site
Choose 911 Sentinel for
A property that wants the monitoring included in one price, a person acting on every alert, and 90 days of video, with a camera vehicle on site where a trailer would otherwise sit.
LVT is built for
A site with no power at all, or a parking lot where a tall, visible trailer is the point and you plan to watch the feed yourself or through a partner.
Common questions
Is 911 Sentinel cheaper than an LVT camera trailer?
Yes, before monitoring is even added. An LVT Essentials trailer is $1,000 a month with 14 days of video, and professional monitoring comes through LVT's partners. 911 Sentinel camera monitoring starts at $900 a month with the camera, installation, maintenance, monitoring, and 90 days of video included.
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.
Do you record sound?
No. Recordings are video only and kept for 90 days on our systems, available to you. The camera speaker is used only to play recorded warnings; conversations on your property are never recorded.
What if power or the internet goes down?
We plan for it before you commit. Each camera runs on site power and internet, so the site walk checks both: we recommend backup power where a site needs it, and set up Starlink where there is no internet.
