Sentinel vs SecureEyes

Sentinel is the fastest way to find, activate, and configure IP security cameras and recorders — right from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Built for installers, integrators, and IT teams, Sentinel replaces the clunky desktop-only vendor tools with a modern app that just works on the equipment already in your pocket. DISCOVER EVERYTHING ON THE NETWORK • Finds ONVIF and SADP (Hikvision-compatible) devices in seconds • Uses standard multicast, so it sees devices even when their IP is outside your current subnet • Live results as devices respond — no manual refresh • Shows model, firmware, MAC, serial, and current network settings at a glance ACTIVATE NEW DEVICES IN SECONDS • Bring brand-new, uninitialized cameras online without a laptop or serial cable • Set a strong admin password with a built-in strength meter • Encrypted activation handled securely on device RECONFIGURE THE NETWORK, ON SITE • Change a device's IP address, subnet mask, and gateway • Switch between static IP and DHCP • Fix a misconfigured camera without unplugging or factory resets • Note: discovery works across subnets, but changing settings or activating a device requires being on the same subnet as it SECURE BY DESIGN • Credentials stored in the iOS/macOS Keychain — never in plain text • Password policy enforcement to keep every device hardened • Read-only ONVIF discovery; changes are explicit and deliberate WORKS WHERE YOU DO • Native SwiftUI app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac • Clean, fast interface designed for the field • Built-in troubleshooting guidance when a device won't appear WHY SENTINEL Commissioning a site used to mean dragging a laptop up a ladder, hunting for a serial cable, and juggling one clunky utility per brand. Sentinel puts discovery, activation, and network configuration in a single app that fits in your pocket — so you can walk a site, bring devices online, and hand off a hardened, correctly-addressed network before you pack up. IMPORTANT Sentinel requires Local Network permission to discover devices. On iOS this is requested on first scan — please allow it, or scanning cannot work. Sentinel is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any camera manufacturer. ONVIF is a trademark of the ONVIF consortium.

SecureEyes puts every IP camera you own on one private wall. It connects straight to ONVIF and RTSP cameras over your own network, so live video goes from the camera to your screen and nowhere else. No account, no cloud needed to watch your cameras, and no separate app for each brand. MIXED BRANDS, ONE WALL Discovery finds ONVIF cameras on your Wi-Fi, or add one by its address. Cameras from different makers sit side by side: any camera or NVR that speaks ONVIF or RTSP. H.264 and H.265, main and sub streams. BUILT FOR IPHONE, IPAD AND MAC A focus view on iPhone, a monitoring layout on iPad, and a video wall on the Mac. Grids from one camera to sixteen, feature-first and panorama layouts, drag to reorder, and paging when you have more cameras than tiles. A camera with two lenses gets two tiles. EVENTS, ON YOUR DEVICE Motion becomes a timeline. Person, vehicle and animal are recognised on the device with Apple Vision, captions are written locally, and nothing is uploaded. Seven days of history by default, with the resolution and retention under your control. Save a still, share it, or export it to Photos, only when you choose to. CLIPS Record a stretch of live video to a clip, keep it in the Clips library, then share or export it. CONTROL THE CAMERA Pan, tilt and zoom on cameras that have it. Night vision and the spotlight. Encoder settings on cameras that accept them, so a camera that ships a 4K substream can be told to behave. Reboot from your phone. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE Camera passwords live in the Apple Keychain. There is no SecureEyes account, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking. Lock the app with Face ID or Touch ID. MOVE AND SYNC Move your setup to a new device with a code or a QR, encrypted with a PIN. Keep cameras and settings in step across your devices with iCloud, off until you turn it on. PLANS Free: three cameras, no account, nothing to pay. Standard: up to sixteen cameras, every layout, locations, device transfer, iCloud sync, biometric lock, and the camera controls. Subscribe monthly or yearly, or buy once. Pro: no camera limit, and the SecureEyes Hub. Subscribe monthly or yearly, or buy once. THE SECUREEYES HUB, WITH PRO An always-on service on a machine you own, a Raspberry Pi or any Linux box. It pulls each camera once and serves every device from that, records continuously to a disk you own, and gives you a timeline you can scrub, with clips cut from footage it already holds. Watch from anywhere, sealed end to end to your own Hub, with no port opened on your router. WORKS WITH Any camera or NVR that speaks ONVIF or RTSP. When a camera does not work, the app says which part did not, and the knowledge base at secureeyes.app says what we have tested ourselves. The camera limit applies per device. Purchases restore on any device signed in with your Apple ID. Standard and Pro lifetime are one-time purchases. Standard and Pro yearly and monthly renew until cancelled in the App Store.
