We track everything that moves. We never learn who.
Road Sentinel follows every vehicle, bike and person through an intersection. It never finds out whose they are.
What we track
- Every moving object, continuously and in real time
- Path, speed, direction, and whether it is a vehicle, a bike, or a person
- One anonymous number, held while you are in coverage
What we never learn
- Your plate, your face, your name
- What that shape is registered to
- That you are the same object as yesterday

| Capability | Plate readers | Road Sentinel |
|---|---|---|
| "Where has this car been?" | Answerable | Nothing to trace it with |
| Reads plate numbers | Yes | No plate reader in the pylon |
| Runs face recognition | Sometimes | No. No recognition system is built anywhere in the product. |
| Sells data | Yes | Yes. That is the business. |
| Can tie that data to a person | Yes | No. Nothing here is keyed to one. |
The left column is how that kind of system is built, not what any one company does. We do not name a competitor.
Police, courts and cities buy a place and a time on the same terms as anyone else. What they cannot buy is a person, because we do not have one to sell.
We publish every request, granted or refused. Imagery is a layer a buyer can pay for. It is pictures of a public street. Those pictures have people in them. So we control the pictures with access rules, logs and contracts. We do not call them anonymous. The rules are on requests. The engineering behind it is on security.
