SENTINEL Your Smart Devices Are Spying On You. This Stops It.

SENTINEL is an AI-powered network appliance that sits between your devices and the internet. It uses on-device machine learning to detect and block covert data harvesting in real-time — no cloud dependency, no subscriptions, no data leaves your home.

Your home is a surveillance network you paid for.

Every smart device in your home is collecting data about you and selling it to advertisers, data brokers, and analytics companies — right now, as you read this.

📺

Smart TVs

Samsung, LG, and Vizio TVs capture audio fingerprints and visual frame signatures of everything you watch, transmitting to Samba TV and ad networks every few seconds.

⚠ ACR captures content every 5 seconds
🎤

Voice Assistants

Alexa, Google Home, and Siri periodically transmit ambient room audio to cloud servers even when you haven't said the wake word. Your living room has ears.

⚠ Ambient audio collected 24/7
🏟

Smart Appliances

Your smart fridge, thermostat, and washer transmit detailed usage patterns revealing your daily routine, when you're home, what you eat, and your household composition.

⚠ Behavioral patterns sold to brokers
📱

Cross-Device Tracking

Ultrasonic beacons embedded in TV audio and ads silently link your phone, tablet, laptop, and TV into a single tracking profile — without any network connection between them.

⚠ Inaudible signals correlate all devices
🔒

DNS Blockers Don't Work

Pi-hole and ad blockers only block known domains. Manufacturers bypass them with hardcoded IPs, DNS-over-HTTPS, and routing telemetry through CDNs that also serve legitimate content.

⚠ Trivially circumvented by manufacturers
💰

$200B Data Broker Industry

Your smart home data feeds a $200 billion data broker ecosystem. Your name, habits, health indicators, and behavioral profile are bought and sold without your knowledge or consent.

⚠ Your data is the product

Plug it in. Everything else is automatic.

SENTINEL sits between your router and your network. No per-device setup. No apps to install on each device. It just works.

1

Connect Between Router and Network

Plug SENTINEL inline between your router/modem and your network switch or Wi-Fi access point. Two ethernet cables. Done. It transparently intercepts all traffic without any device configuration.

2

AI Learns Your Devices Automatically

Within minutes, SENTINEL's on-device ML identifies every connected device by type — smart TV, voice assistant, phone, thermostat — and establishes a behavioral baseline for each one. No manual setup required.

3

Real-Time Threat Detection and Blocking

The edge AI continuously classifies every outbound data flow. When it detects PII exfiltration, telemetry harvesting, audio fingerprinting, or tracking payloads — it blocks or scrubs them before they leave your network.

4

Dashboard Shows Everything

See exactly which devices are trying to spy on you, how often, and what data they're trying to send. Per-device privacy scores, real-time alerts, and one-click policy controls. All from your browser.

Not a blocklist. Not a VPN. This is AI.

SENTINEL uses the same class of machine learning that powers autonomous vehicles and fraud detection — applied to your home network in real-time.

🧠

On-Device AI Inference

ML models run locally on a dedicated neural processing unit. No cloud round-trip. Sub-millisecond classification. Your traffic data never leaves your home.

🛡

PII Scrubbing

Detects and strips personally identifiable information from outbound traffic — email addresses, GPS coordinates, device IDs, names, financial data — before it leaves your network.

🚀

Behavioral Baselines

Learns each device's normal communication patterns. When your TV suddenly starts sending 10x more data to a new endpoint, SENTINEL catches it immediately — even if it's never seen that attack before.

🔗

Cross-Device Correlation

Detects coordinated surveillance across multiple devices — ultrasonic beacon tracking, synchronized telemetry bursts, and household fingerprinting attempts that no single-device solution can catch.

⚔️

Privacy + Security Unified

One AI pipeline handles both. Blocks manufacturer spyware AND detects malware, botnets, and C2 communications. Distinguishes between your TV's built-in surveillance and a hacker exploiting it.

🔒

Zero-Knowledge Cloud Updates

ML models update periodically with new threat patterns from the SENTINEL network. Differential privacy guarantees mean the update server never sees your traffic, devices, or personal data. Ever.

Nothing else does what SENTINEL does.

Common questions.

Does SENTINEL slow down my internet?
No. SENTINEL processes traffic at line speed using dedicated hardware. The AI accelerator handles classification in sub-millisecond time. You won't notice any difference in speed, latency, or streaming quality.
Does it work with my existing router?
Yes. SENTINEL works with any router from any ISP. It connects inline via ethernet — plug the WAN port to your router, the LAN port to your network. No router configuration changes needed.
What about encrypted (HTTPS) traffic?
SENTINEL extracts metadata from encrypted connections without decrypting them — TLS fingerprints, server names, certificate chains, traffic patterns, and flow characteristics. This is enough to classify surveillance behavior with high accuracy. For users who want deeper inspection, an optional TLS interception mode is available with a locally-installed CA certificate.
Is there a subscription fee?
No. SENTINEL works fully offline with no subscription. Threat model updates are free for life. We may offer an optional premium tier for enterprise features in the future, but the core privacy and security protection is yours forever with no recurring cost.
How is this different from Pi-hole?
Pi-hole blocks known tracking domains via DNS. Manufacturers easily bypass this with hardcoded IPs, DNS-over-HTTPS, or routing through CDNs. SENTINEL uses AI to analyze actual traffic behavior and payload content — it catches data harvesting that Pi-hole can't even see, and adapts to new surveillance techniques automatically.
What data does SENTINEL send to the cloud?
By default, none. If you opt in to community intelligence, SENTINEL shares anonymized pattern signatures (e.g., "device type X sends data structure Y to endpoint category Z") — never your actual traffic, device names, IP addresses, or personal information. Differential privacy guarantees make individual user reconstruction mathematically impossible.
When will it ship?
We're targeting Q4 2026 for first shipments to early bird backers. We'll share monthly engineering updates with prototype photos, test results, and honest timelines. We'd rather ship right than ship fast.
Who is behind this?
SENTINEL is built by EnergenAI LLC, a SAM-registered technology company based in Jackson, Michigan. We hold two provisional patents, are active in federal technology programs, and have built TIAMAT — one of the first truly autonomous AI agents, running 24/7 for 7,000+ cycles. We ship real technology.
