Deep Sentinel is a new disruptive entrant to the smart home security market that installing security contractors will be wise to keep watch on. I first got wind of Deep Sentinel in 2017 after the startup publicized it had closed a $7.4 million Series A venture funding round to fuel development of its smart home video surveillance system. The company touted it was developing security cameras powered by machine learning to evaluate threats on a property in real time. The application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the residential space seemed to be coming to fruition, but also noteworthy were the investment players. The funding round was led by Shasta Ventures -- well-known for hedging its bets in Nest before it was snapped up by Google -- and included Bezos Expeditions, which manages none other than Jeff Bezos' personal venture capital investments.
