Prove presence, capture evidence, respond faster.

 

Sentiv equips private security and guarding operations with mission-critical communications, workforce accountability and court-ready evidence, delivered and managed as one accountable service. Officers stay connected across every site and channel, patrols are verified against real checkpoints, and every incident is captured and stored so it holds up in court. Instead of stitching together radios, cameras, tracking and reporting from different suppliers, operators get a single, coordinated capability with one partner responsible for the whole chain. The result is faster response, provable performance for clients, and a service that grows site by site as the operation does.

 

The Challenge

 

Guarding is a low-margin, high-accountability business. Officers are spread across many sites with little live proof that they are where they should be, so clients question performance and contracts become hard to defend. When an incident happens, response is often slow because teams are not connected in real time, and the evidence gathered afterwards frequently will not stand up in court. Capital-heavy communications and surveillance systems are difficult to justify against thin margins, and every new site adds cost and complexity. Operators need to prove presence, respond faster and produce admissible evidence, without a large upfront investment.

 

How Sentiv Helps

 

Always-on push-to-talk over cellular (PTToC) gives officers instant one-to-one, group and broadcast voice and video across unlimited sites, with no dead zones and no radio infrastructure to build. Guard patrol verifies presence by tagging location and checkpoints, and sends automated daily reports that give clients timestamped proof of service. Body-worn cameras and panic-to-video capture incidents as they happen, and footage is stored with an unbroken chain of custody so it is admissible in court. Panic alerting with live location protects lone officers, and OneSpace can coordinate access, cameras and guards on a single site view. A rent-to-own model removes the upfront cost and lets operators scale one site at a time.

FAQ

Common Questions

“How do I prove my guards are actually patrolling?”

Guard patrol turns each officer's rounds into verifiable data. As guards move through a site they tag physical or location checkpoints, and the system records where they were and when, building a timestamped trail for every shift. Automated daily reports go to you and your client, so proof of presence is delivered without anyone compiling it by hand. If a checkpoint is missed it shows up immediately, so gaps in cover are caught and fixed rather than discovered after an incident.

“Do I need a large upfront investment?”

Sentiv works on a rent-to-own model with a fixed, predictable monthly fee that covers the devices, connectivity and management as one service. That removes the large capital outlay that usually makes communications and camera systems hard to justify on guarding margins. You can start on a single contract and add sites as you win them, so cost tracks revenue rather than running ahead of it. Support, maintenance and upgrades are included, so there are no surprise bills later.
