Never afraid again
Inspiration
Our inspiration was from Canadian communities facing a high rate of crime in the recent months including a large amount of break-ins and home invasions. Our team has a dream that reduce that problems for families around the world by making their home more secure with sustainable and affordable solutions. Our technology provides security consulting services for families in any city around the world.
What it does
Essentially, we built an AI security consultant which allows families to create a safer environment for their homes with just a touch of a few buttons. With a few critical criteria inputted by the customer they receive a comprehensive security report on possible vunrealibilities and required fixes to keep their personal security at the highest level. All while taking into account different factors such as finances and geographical location.
How we built it
We built it using a tech stack consisting of react.js for the frontend as well as python using flask for the backend. We also integrated Generative AI API's to add an artificial intellgience portion to our webapp.
Challenges we ran into
One of the biggest challenges we ran into was integrating the frontend and the backend and making sure it works seamlessly with each other without causing errors. As during development we ran into many errors while trying to conduct the integration which we eventually solved but in the moment it was very frustrating.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
One of the things we are most proud of is our impressive 3D animation in our frontend bringing blueprints to life which has mathematically been created in react using three.js which we had done for the first time in any project.
What we learned
We learned alot about how complicated integrations can get when different people in the team are working on different parts of the full stack development and how problem solving together is the only way to get through those tough challenges.
What's next for Sentinel
Sentinel has a bright future ahead and this is just a small glimpse into what it is actually capable of. For the future we plan for Sentinel to have interactive maps with crime hot zones, geographical locations narrowed down to the neighbourhood, much more advanced AI analysis reports, an expansion of input criterias by 3-4x in order for highly accurate suggestions which can dramatically improve safety for families around the world.
We want Sentinel to be a globally known companion for Home Security just as how Norton360 is known for computer security.
Sentinel is the peace of mind families have been looking for and we are here to deliver it.
