Sitinel · Claims-Grade Video Evidence · Parking

Your cameras
aren't evidence.
Ours are.

Stock CCTV overwrites the clip before the claim matures, and a deleted hard drive hands the plaintiff an adverse-inference instruction. Sitinel signs every frame at capture and locks the incident the moment it happens: tamper-evident, timestamped, retained past the claim window. Evidence that survives to settlement.

The Reality

The clip is gone before
the claim shows up.

Every expensive parking claim turns on one question: was there trusted video, and did it survive? Stock CCTV loses on retention and chain of custody long before a case matures.

01 / SPOLIATION01/03

The clip overwrote before we knew.

Commodity NVRs loop every 7 to 45 days, and parking-claim footage is treated as perishable within 24 to 72 hours. Once a claim is reasonably anticipated, auto-deletion is spoliation under FRCP 37(e) and hands the plaintiff an adverse-inference instruction.

10 daysGarage overwrote the clip; case dismissed
02 / DISPUTED CLAIMS02/03

Someone hit my car in your lot.

Hit-and-run on parked cars, valet damage disputes over pre-existing versus in-custody, staged slip-and-falls. Each one resolves the same way: with a trusted clip, or with a check to make it go away.

$20B/yrStaged-accident fraud, industry-wide estimate
03 / NEGLIGENT SECURITY03/03

You should have seen it coming.

Parking facilities are the single most common venue for negligent-security suits, and juries fixate on broken cameras and dark corners. The verdicts run to seven and eight figures. Working, trusted footage is the defense.

How It Works

Three steps from
incident to evidence.

01
Step 01 · Deploy

Cover the lot.

A self-contained Sitinel unit watches every space with on-device computer vision. The AI runs on the edge, not in a rented cloud GPU, so there is no per-camera cloud inference bill.

◼︎ EDGE UNIT · ON-DEVICE CV · EVERY SPACE
02
Step 02 · Detect

Catch the incident.

The moment something happens, an impact, a fall, a break-in, Sitinel flags it and locks the incident window so the clip cannot quietly loop away.

◼︎ EVENT DETECT · AUTO-LOCK · TIMESTAMPED
03
Step 03 · Defend

Hand over proof.

Every frame is signed at capture and folded into a signed, append-only chain. You hand the adjuster or the court a tamper-evident, timestamped clip that supports authentication under FRE 901/902, no live witness required.

The Moat · Evidence Chain

Evidence
you can defend with.

Verkada Verify and evidence lockers check a file after the fact. Sitinel signs every frame at the moment of capture, so when a parking dispute becomes a deposition, “we have it on video” becomes proof the other side cannot wave away. Provable the day you hand it over.

Retention

Keep the footage until
the claim matures.

A claim can surface months after the incident, and your carrier may want years of retention. Locked incident clips are held long-term, the continuous record tiers up to carrier-grade archive, and there is no per-GB cloud bill.

The Math

Priced against the claim
you would have paid.

There is no per-space subscription to publish yet. Pilots are scoped per facility. The economics are simple: Sitinel is a fraction of a guard post, and a rounding error against a single claim it helps you win.

If you staff guards

Guard Offset

50–70%below a 24/7 post
A single on-site guard post runs $219K–$525K per year. Remote AI video runs well below that.
  • One 24/7 guard post: $219K–$525K / yr
  • Remote AI video: roughly 50–70% lower
  • Payback measured in weeks, not years
  • Coverage that never calls in sick
Guard-cost figures are industry benchmarks.

Claim Avoidance

$250Kper-vehicle GKLL limit avoided
One catastrophic claim you defend with trusted video pays for years of coverage.
  • $250K: a per-vehicle GKLL limit
  • $20M: median premises nuclear verdict
  • One won dispute resets the ROI
  • Evidence that survives to settlement
Illustrative, not a Sitinel outcome guarantee.

Pilot

Scoped per facility
We size a pilot to your highest-loss facility.
  • Per-facility pilot scoping
  • Customer-owned hardware and data
  • No 12–24 month rental lock-in
  • Loss-review readout after the pilot
The other guysVerkada: ~$50–$1,000/mo per site plus ~$199/camera/yr, sells security not claims. LVT: $1,200–$3,400/mo per trailer on a 12–24 month lock-in; the unit goes dark if you stop paying. IntelliSee: writes the chain-of-custody story but ships no signing. Sitinel: hardware and data you own, evidence signed at capture.
For Insurers & Brokers

Cameras are becoming
the price of admission.

We are not selling a discount. We are selling placeability and multi-renewal loss-cost on parking risk the market is exiting, plus the evidence your adjusters keep asking for and not getting.

Bind it

Placeability, not discounts

Get a hard-to-place valet or high-crime garage account bound at all. Trusted, tamper-evident evidence changes the risk you are underwriting, not just the rate.

Precedent

Cameras as a condition

In 2025 a major carrier made camera-AI a condition of coverage on construction wrap-ups after a pilot cut claim frequency more than 50%. Sitinel is the parking analog.

Severity

Loss-cost over renewals

Commercial liability severity is climbing on litigation, not frequency. Trusted video is what blunts the disputed-claim tail that drives the loss-cost.

Email insurers@sitinel.ai Program and pilot conversations welcome.
Private by Design

No facial recognition, no biometric templates, and audio is off by default. Processing happens on the edge, your footage stays yours, retention follows your state's rules with automatic purge, and every install ships with a signage and posted-policy kit. Privacy exposure goes down, not up.
