How Defendry Works
What's Included
Defendry Video Appliance (DVA)
This powerful device quickly scans your high resolution surveillance video feeds 24/7 looking for threats.
The DVA simply plugs right into your security system. You’ll receive one or more DVAs with your rental or purchase, depending on how many cameras need to be watched.
Defend Any Location
DEFENDRY’S AI IS CONTINUOUSLY TRAINED IN A VARIETY OF ENVIRONMENTS TO ENSURE DETECTION ACCURACY IN ANY LOCATION.
Defendry has been trained to recognize guns, masks, and intruders using surveillance videos of actual crime scenes and fabricated, life-like scenarios. AI training is led by Defendry’s Chief Science Officer, Dr. Sean Huver, a PhD in physics, data scientist, and veteran of multiple Department of Defense DARPA projects. Fabricated crime scene scenarios are directed by Arizona police officer and crime response training specialist, Tony Sanborn, and multi-award-winning filmmaker, Kyle Malkin, using every major type of gun on the market, and comprehensive variations of masks, costumes, and permutations of actions
Auto-Lock Doors API
Defendry can connect to your access-controlled doors so threats can be automatically locked out.
The system integrator who installs your Defendry system will connect your access-controlled doors to Defendry. Lockdown strategies can be customized so that whether a threat is detected indoors or outdoors, only the next level of doors will be locked to prevent further entry.
24/7 Human Verification
Defendry’s 24/7 human monitoring center verifies detected threats, which prevents false alarms that can cost you thousands.
Defendry has partnered with multi-award-winning central monitoring station company, Rapid Response, which has been a world leader in monitoring services since 1992, to provide truly premiere verification and response efforts.
Instant Emergency Notifications
A verified threat’s image(s), location, and description will be immediately sent to law enforcement and your team.
You can customize the alerts sent to your team and even include emergency response instructions. Emergency notifications are delivered to your teammates via the secure Defendry team communication app.
Team Communication App
Defendry’s group messaging app allows your team to receive emergency notifications and securely communicate during emergencies and day-to-day.
The app offers secure team chat, file sharing, and voice & video calls. It’s easy to invite your teammates, and you can add as many users as needed with no extra cost.
