Flagship product

Sentinel AI Camera S5 — protection that never sleeps, even when the engine does.

Most thefts happen at night, when vehicles are parked and standard cameras are dead. The S5 keeps watching 24/7 — detecting suspicious activity on-device, alerting you in real time over built-in 4G, and recording 175° of HD evidence in near-total darkness.

AOV mode & backup power

Protection doesn't stop when the engine does.

Standard cameras rely on vehicle power — the moment the engine stops, coverage stops. The S5 is the only sentinel still on duty when your asset is parked and unattended.

AOV ultra-low power mode

A standby state that draws minimal power while keeping all sensors active — the camera keeps monitoring with the vehicle switched off. No gaps in coverage, ever.

Optional 5-minute battery backup

An internal battery keeps the S5 running through a power outage or sudden disconnection — critical footage is never lost at the moment it matters most.

12V / 24V self-adaptive, no extra hardware

Compatible with trucks, buses and construction equipment out of the box. AOV mode is built in — no additional relay, timer or wiring required.

AI engine

Not just recording — actively thinking.

Traditional cameras capture evidence after the fact. The S5 acts in real time, alerting operators before damage or theft is completed. All detection runs on-device — fast, private, and reliable even without a network connection.

Suspicious target detection

Continuously analyses the scene for individuals loitering, circling or approaching from unusual angles — and triggers an immediate alert.

Vehicle contact inspection

Detects anyone touching, leaning on or interfering with the body, cargo or equipment — with real-time alerts to your fleet platform.

Human posture detection

Pose analysis identifies theft-related body language — crouching, reaching under the vehicle, accessing cargo — with minimal false positives.

6-axis G-sensor

Detects harsh acceleration, braking, sharp cornering and collisions — combining motion events with video for complete incident context.

Vision system

See everything. Miss nothing.

Near-panoramic coverage from a single lens, sharp enough for facial recognition and licence plate identification — even in near-total darkness.

Always watching

Protection that never clocks off — even engine-off.

The Sentinel S5 keeps watch around the clock, flagging fuel drain, tampering and misbehaviour the moment it starts — so threats are caught while they are still small.

Durability & security

Built for the field. Secured by design.

From sub-zero winters to scorching equatorial summers, steam cleaning to construction dust — the S5 keeps working, and its footage stays yours.

IP69K weatherproof rating

The highest IP rating for dust and high-pressure water jet resistance. The S5 survives steam cleaning, tropical downpours, river crossings and heavy construction dust without faltering.

Extreme temperature range

Operates from -40°C to +70°C, with storage from -40°C to +85°C and 15–95% non-condensing humidity tolerance. No climate-controlled housing required.

AES256 video encryption

Military-grade AES256 encryption on all stored video. Even if the SD card is removed, footage cannot be accessed or tampered with — full chain-of-custody integrity.

Embedded Linux OS

A stable, lightweight operating system purpose-built for always-on embedded devices. No reboots, no updates disrupting operation. Multi-language support: English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese and Chinese.

Compact hardware

117.8 × 104.7 × 92.9 mm and just 410g — discreet enough for any cab or chassis mounting point.

Competitive advantage

S5 vs. standard cameras.

Side by side, the difference is simple: the S5 keeps working — and keeps thinking — where ordinary cameras stop.
