What Visentry does

Visentry, founded in 2010 in New Jersey, operated as an AI-powered remote video monitoring specialist before being acquired by Scutum Group in 2025. As of January 2026, Visentry has merged with Statewide Central Station (founded 1981) to operate together as Scutum Digital, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the global Scutum Group. Scutum Digital functions as a wholesale alarm monitoring and remote guarding provider, serving 1,000+ alarm dealers across North America and the Caribbean. The company operates a 9,000 sq. ft. UL Listed, TMA Five-Diamond Certified, and NYC Fire Department-approved central station with full power redundancy and a geographically diverse backup facility. Its technology stack combines patented AI-driven vision software with deep learning anomaly detection, a DICE Corporation-powered monitoring platform, and integrations with all major alarm communicators and camera manufacturers. Product offerings span central station digital monitoring, AI-powered video monitoring and remote guarding, mobile security towers, fire alarm monitoring (via Scutum Fire Corp), managed access control, PERS systems, IoT cyber security, outdoor perimeter security, and forensic research analytics. Business model revenue mechanics are subscription-based recurring monthly fees paid by dealers under volume discount programs, with multi-year contracts available; mobile tower rentals are structured as Security-as-a-Service with no upfront capital. End customers reach Scutum Digital through dealers, spanning automotive dealerships, logistics and distribution centers, residential and commercial properties, industrial sites, and construction or event deployments.
