Passive video isn't enough.
Traditional CCTV is often reviewed after an event. Potential threats can be missed in the moment.
FROM RECORDING EARLY SIGNALS BUILT FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF CAMPUS SAFETY
Every second matters.
So does every student.
Meet Sentria — an AI-powered early-warning concept that transforms existing school CCTV into signals that people can verify and act on, before threats escalate.

SECURITY SHOULD BE PROACTIVE. NOT JUST REACTIVE.
THE CHALLENGEWe have the cameras.
We have the cameras.
We need a better warning.
Many schools already capture footage, but recording an incident is not the same as getting ahead of it. Sentria proposes one connected layer between a signal and the people trained to respond.
Response needs a clear path.
Fast alerts are only useful when authorized people can verify and coordinate the next step.
FROM SILOS CONNECTED ACTIONEvery voice should be heard.
Students and staff also need an accessible, safer way to report concerning situations.
FROM HESITATION SUPPORTED REPORTING THE SENTRIA APPROACHOne connected workflow.
One connected workflow.
Five meaningful steps.
Detection starts the conversation. Verified human decisions drive the response.
01
SIGNAL DETECTION
Spot potential warning signs.
On-site edge AI is designed to flag possible visible firearms and boundary events from compatible IP cameras, without requiring continuous cloud video processing.
Designed to work with existing infrastructure; performance requires validation.
WHY SENTRIABuilt around how
Built around how
schools actually operate.
Thoughtful technology, local coordination, and a design that respects the reality of school budgets and connectivity.
01 / LEVERAGE WHAT YOU HAVE
Don't replace the cameras. Upgrade what they can do.
Designed to integrate with existing IP CCTV systems, using NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX edge hardware for on-site inference.
02 / EDGE-FIRST
More resilient, even when internet is weak.
Local detection and verification are planned to work on-site, with SMS as a backup alert channel.
LOW-CONNECTIVITY DESIGN03 / HUMAN IN CONTROL
Technology assists. People decide.
Possible threats are reviewed by trained security staff before any escalation to school leaders or responders.
NO AUTONOMOUS ENFORCEMENT04 / LOCAL RESPONSE
A safety network, not another isolated app.
Proposed school and LGU workflows support coordination with designated responders and anonymous student reports.

GOOD QUESTIONS
Clarity builds confidence.
Answers to the questions schools and potential partners often ask.
Still have a question? Let's talkIs Sentria already deployed in schools?
No. Sentria is currently at the ideation stage. The team is seeking partnerships and funding to prototype, test, and evaluate the system in two pilot schools.
Will schools need to replace their CCTV cameras?
Not necessarily. The proposed product is designed to reuse compatible existing IP CCTV feeds. Camera and network compatibility must be assessed before any installation.
Does the AI automatically decide that someone is dangerous?
No. Sentria's proposed system flags possible events for authorized security staff to review. The AI output is not a final judgment and should not trigger automatic enforcement.
Does Sentria use facial recognition or classroom cameras?
No. The current concept explicitly excludes facial recognition and classroom cameras, and prioritizes an on-site, privacy-conscious design.
How reliable will weapon detection be?
Real-world performance is not yet established. Detection of at least 90% of staged events is a pilot target, not a measured result. Testing must also assess false positives, false negatives, camera angles, lighting, and response procedures.
LET'S MAKE SCHOOLS SAFER, TOGETHERThe next step
The next step
starts with a conversation.
Are you a school administrator, LGU representative, technology partner, or potential investor? We'd love to explore what a thoughtful pilot could look like together.
