02 / LOCAL VISUAL INTELLIGENCE
Planned for Windows and macOS.
REAL-TIME AWARENESS
Bring together compatible camera feeds in one local command center. Sentinel is being designed to anonymously track people, vehicles, packages, and movement while keeping the operator aware of active scenes, alerts, and device health.
EVENT INTELLIGENCE
Search a local event history by camera, time, zone, object category, confidence, or saved incident. Sentinel is being designed to preserve the relevant scene and its structured event details instead of forcing users to scrub through an entire day of continuous recording.
Searchable event timeline · Anonymous tracking metadata · Camera and zone filters · Scene Capsule review · Bookmark and export actions
SPATIAL AWARENESS
Map camera coverage, define activity areas, establish restricted regions, and create virtual tripwires for spaces users control. Rules can then react to anonymous people, vehicles, packages, schedules, and directional movement.
Configurable activity zones · Camera coverage mapping · Virtual tripwires · Time-based restrictions · Object-specific triggers
AUTOMATED RESPONSE
Build understandable if-then rules using detected object types, zones, schedules, severity levels, recording actions, and notifications. Sentinel is being designed to turn meaningful activity into clear, configurable responses.
Visual if-then rules · Severity and escalation settings · Desktop and email notifications · Scene Capsule recording · Configurable retention actions
INTELLIGENT STORAGE
Sentinel’s planned Storage Governor prioritizes meaningful events instead of saving endless footage. Scene Capsules, configurable pre-roll and post-roll, storage forecasts, retention limits, duplicate suppression, and automatic cleanup are designed to keep recording practical—even on systems with limited free space.
Event-based Scene Capsules · Pre-event and post-event capture · Storage forecasts · Configurable retention · Automatic cleanup · Local storage controls
BRING YOUR OWN DEVICES
Project Sentinel is being designed as an intelligence layer for compatible cameras and devices users already own. The product direction avoids a proprietary camera ecosystem and mandatory cloud recording, giving users control over hardware, processing, retention, and local storage.
Hardware independent
Use compatible built-in cameras, USB cameras, and future supported network camera sources rather than being locked into Valkyron hardware.
Local-first processing
The product direction prioritizes on-device detection, anonymous tracking, and event analysis without requiring raw video to be continuously uploaded.
Storage users control
Choose retention, recording mode, storage location, automatic cleanup, and protected incidents.
PRIVACY BY DESIGN
Project Sentinel is being planned around temporary anonymous track IDs rather than named-person identification. Recording, snapshots, audio, retention, and data-sharing behavior should remain visible and controlled by the user.
No facial recognition in the initial product direction · Temporary anonymous tracking IDs · Recording controlled by the user · Optional face blurring for saved scenes · Configurable retention and deletion · No mandatory cloud recording
Receive occasional concept previews, engineering updates, and early-access announcements as Project Sentinel moves from product direction toward a working release.
