AI quality control for physical security design

No surprises.
Clean installs.

SpecSentry reviews your security drawings, schedules, and Division 28 specs — catching coordination, constructability, and code issues before they become RFIs, change orders, or failed commissioning.

Every finding validated by a senior commissioning engineer before you see it.

How it works

Upload on Monday. Findings by Wednesday.

Drag and drop your security package — plans, risers, door and device schedules, specs, submittals — and let SpecSentry get to work.

1

Upload your package

Floor plans, riser diagrams, door & device schedules, single-lines, Div 28 / Div 08 specs, and submittals. PDFs are fine — no BIM required.

2

AI cross-references everything

Trained on real-world commissioning logic, SpecSentry checks every sheet, schedule, and spec section against 60+ recurring failure modes.

3

An engineer signs off

Every finding is validated by a senior commissioning engineer before you see it — with the fix, the code reference, and who owns the ball.

What we check

Eight disciplines. One coordinated review.

These are the actual check categories from the SpecSentry review console, with the failure modes we see most.

Access Control

Panel over-subscription, OSDP vs. Wiegand spec conflicts, missing door position switches, discontinued reader models, electrified hardware without power transfer.

Code Compliance

Delayed egress without fire alarm release, mag-locked stairs without free egress, ADA reach-range violations — mapped to IBC, NFPA 72/101, ICC A117.1.

Coordination

Riser vs. floor plan device-count mismatches, readers on walls scheduled for demolition, elevator readers with no traveling-cable conductors.

Power

Undersized lock power supplies, missing 120VAC circuits at panel locations, backup battery math that doesn't survive a code review.

Network

PoE budget overruns at the IDF, missing labeling standards, VLAN and pathway gaps that surface as "camera offline" tickets later.

Video

Camera FOV blocked by structure, wrong lens for the corridor length, no conduit path to exterior positions, retention math vs. storage spec.

Intrusion

Glassbreak coverage gaps at curtain walls, unsupervised zones, missing end-of-line supervision on monitored openings.

Closeout

Symbol legends missing device types, spec sections referenced but absent, and the documentation gaps that stall commissioning sign-off.

Key features

Why teams choose SpecSentry

Designed for security-heavy projects — airports, healthcare, data centers, K-12 — where a missed interface fails an inspection, not just a review.

🔎

AI issue detection

Catches door hardware conflicts, panel over-subscription, power and PoE budget violations, and schedule-vs-riser mismatches before they reach the field.

🛡️

Code & compliance checks

Free egress, delayed egress, fire alarm interface at controlled openings, and ADA reach-range checks mapped to IBC, NFPA 72/101, and ICC A117.1 references.

👷

Expert double check

Every AI finding is validated by a senior commissioning engineer. You get signal, not noise — and a defensible review record.

Findings that speak money, not jargon

Every issue is prioritized by cost impact and tied to the exact sheets and spec sections that drive it.

The review console

See the whole review, not a PDF dump.

Findings land in an interactive console you can filter, assign, and export — then hand straight to your RFI process.

  • Filter by severity, discipline, status, and ball-in-court
  • Evidence trail on every finding: sheet, page, spec section, code reference
  • Recommended action written like an RFI note, not a robot
  • Print a client-ready report or export the full CSV log
  • Run it against our sample test package — or upload your own in demo mode

The sample report is the real deliverable: 20 findings, evidence trail, code references, and recommended actions — exactly what lands in your inbox. Sample test package →

Pricing

Priced to pay for itself on the first finding.

A traditional peer review runs $5K–$25K and takes weeks. SpecSentry is scoped to the decision you're actually making.

Where this fits

One platform, four layers.

SpecSentry is the design-QA layer of the Kryos platform — it catches problems on paper, before the other layers ever have to deal with them in the field.

Who's behind the review

Built by the person who gets called when it fails.

SpecSentry is a Kryos Security Group product, built by a working physical security commissioning engineer — not a software team guessing at what Division 28 means.

The failure modes in our checklist aren't theoretical. They come from 15+ years of enterprise access control and VMS work: commissioning biometric credentialing at DFW International Airport in a TSA-regulated environment, leading ACS upgrades on AMAG Symmetry and Lenel OnGuard platforms, and living the punch lists that bad drawings create.

That's why every AI finding gets a human pass before you see it. The AI is thorough; the engineer is accountable.

FAQs

Questions, answered

What does SpecSentry do?
SpecSentry uses AI plus expert human validation to review physical security design packages for errors, omissions, and coordination issues — before installation begins. It's the fastest, most thorough way to catch the mistakes that become RFIs, change orders, and failed inspections.
How is this different from a consultant peer review?
A traditional peer review takes weeks and costs $5K–$25K. SpecSentry returns expert-validated findings in 48 hours at a fraction of the cost — and it checks every door, device, and circuit, not a sample.
What happens to my drawings?
Your package is used for your review only. Documents are not shared, resold, or used to train public models, and we'll sign your NDA before you upload anything. The public demo runs entirely in your browser on sample data.
Who is SpecSentry built for?
Security consultants, integrators, general contractors, and owners on security-heavy projects — anywhere Division 28 scope is large enough that a coordination miss is expensive.
What do I need to upload?
PDFs are all it takes: floor plans, riser diagrams, door and device schedules, single-line diagrams, Division 28 and 08 specs, and any submittals. No BIM model required.
When should I use it on a project?
The earlier the better — design development and CD reviews catch issues while they're cheap to fix. It's equally valuable pre-bid (protect your number) and pre-submittal (protect your schedule).
Is this an engineering-of-record service?
No. SpecSentry is an advisory quality-assurance review that supplements — not replaces — the design professional of record. It is not stamped engineering, AHJ approval, or a code-compliance certification.

Let's build it right the first time.

Tell us about the package and we'll confirm scope, timeline, and price before anything is billed. Most reviews start within one business day.

Good to knowDon't attach drawings yet — we'll set up a secure transfer (and sign your NDA) after we confirm scope.

No drawings through this form — we'll arrange secure transfer after scoping.
