Questions, answered
Everything a property owner asks first.
If it isn't here, a Sentinel operations lead will answer it on the assessment call.
Is it legal to fly drones over my property?
Yes. Flights are operated by FAA-certified pilots under FAA and Washington State operating rules, and the flight plan is reviewed against each contracted property before coverage is proposed.
What about privacy?
Footage access, retention, and deletion are defined in the client agreement. The operations desk reviews footage only for incident documentation and client reporting.
What if power or the internet goes down?
If site power or internet is interrupted, a responder remains on site to maintain coverage. Power and connectivity assumptions are also written into the site plan during the property walk.
Do I have to install anything?
Not always. Some coverage tiers can work with the property's existing conditions, while AI camera monitoring requires the camera plan defined during assessment.
What happens when someone is detected?
A human operator verifies the alert, a responder assesses the situation on site, and the incident closes with a timestamped report. Police are involved only when warranted — 97% of incidents are resolved on site without them.
Are your responders armed?
No. Sentinel responders are unarmed and operate no-contact: presence, evaluation, and documentation. Police are brought in only when a situation warrants it. “No scene” is the standard.
How fast can you start?
Coverage is typically live within 5 business days of the site assessment. The written plan defines what can start immediately and what depends on camera, responder, or drone setup.
How is this different from a traditional guard company?
A traditional guard covers one post. 911 Sentinel combines responders, cameras, drones on large-acreage sites, human verification, and timestamped records so coverage can be audited.
What areas do you cover?
911 Sentinel serves the Seattle metro. The coverage page shows property-crime concentration and how the service footprint is evaluated.
