SENTRY / BUILT BY GARAGE ROBOTICS
Wildlife keeps coming back.
Let’s put Sentry to the test.
Sentry is a working prototype that recognizes wildlife, tracks it, and aims a jet of water. Got a problem worth testing? Tell me about it.

Mouse detected.
Water follows.

See it. Recognize it.
Track it. Deter it.
A camera watches the area. Sentry identifies the unwanted animal, follows its movement, and aims a jet of water.
This is one backyard test. Performance across animals, locations, and weather is still being tested.

02 / HELP NAME WHAT’S NEXT
Built in my garage.
Named by you.
Sentry is the working name. A name vote is coming. Join the waitlist and I’ll tell you when it opens, so you can suggest a name or back your favorite. Your votes help me choose; I’ll make the final call.
03 / HELP PUT IT TO THE TEST
Got a place to put Sentry to the test?
Wildlife making a mess of your garden, boat, or outdoor space? Tell me what shows up and what you’re trying to protect.
I’m looking for situations that can help test Sentry beyond my backyard. Your answers help me understand the problem, the setup, and whether an early beta could be a fit.
You’ll be helping test an unfinished prototype and sharing what works—and what doesn’t.
Free to apply. Beta units may have a cost. I’ll explain any costs before you decide. Applying does not reserve a unit or set a delivery date.

Tell me about your space, the wildlife problem, and your setup. Required fields are marked *. Hiding the form keeps your answers on this page; leaving or refreshing may clear them.

04 / THE ORIGIN STORY
It started
with a squirrel.
A wildlife problem became a robotics problem. Then it became my full-time problem.
After roughly two years of building at night, I left my job to give Sentry a real shot. Now it needs to leave the garage.
Sentry is a working prototype, built in my California garage. I’m sharing the tests as I learn what holds up outside—and what needs another iteration.

The tests, the fixes, and the occasional “well, that didn’t work.”
A Garage Robotics Discord is being planned. For now, the email list is the place to get community news along with Sentry updates.
