Become a Digital Sentinel

Become a Digital Sentinel

Get paid to keep an eye on real shops. Watch live camera feeds from small businesses, report what you see and earn Sentinos for every hour on duty. Work from your phone, laptop, TV or game console, team up with other Watchers, and meet the community in chat or on our Discord.

Why join Sentinel Watch?

Paid by the hour

Shops set an hourly rate for their cameras. Confirmed events earn you extra.

Join an Alliance

Team up with other sentinels to tackle bigger challenges and share in greater rewards.

Stay sharp

Catch the coin that pops up about once a minute. It takes a second and shows the shop you’re watching.

How a watch shift works

1. Pick a camera

Sign up with your email and choose from the shop cameras open to your rank.

2. Watch and catch coins

About once a minute a coin pops up. One tap or controller button shows the shop you’re there.

3. Report what you see

Spot shoplifting or another event the shop listed? Raise an alarm. Five other Watchers check the clip in the Tribunal.

4. Get paid on Friday

Your hourly rate and confirmed rewards are added as Sentinos. Payouts go out every Friday.

Pay Day

Payouts go out every Friday at 00:00 UTC. Request one yourself, or switch on automatic weekly payouts.

Your Rewards, Your Choice

Everything you earn is paid in Sentinos and shown live in the app. At the current rate, 10,000 Sentinos is 1 USD. Cash out, keep saving, or donate part of it to one of our charity partners.

Features:
  • View your Sentinos balance in the app.

  • Accumulate rewards over time.

  • Donate to a charity partner whose goals match ours.

  • Cash out every Friday where a payout option is available.

Where can I cash out?
Payouts start in Thailand through PromptPay, and we’re adding countries one by one. Elsewhere you can already watch, earn Sentinos and build your rank. Your balance stays in your account until payouts open in your country, or you can donate it. We can’t promise a date for your country, so please check before you start.

Ranking

Every hour on duty earns Reputation Points.

Reputation decides your rank, and a higher rank opens better-paying cameras and rarer avatars. Catching coins also earns game points: they count for leaderboards and challenges, but can’t be cashed out.

Features & Ranks:
  • Earn reputation by watching and judging fairly

  • Rank up to unlock better-paying cameras

Form your own Alliance

As a Sentinel, you can create your own Alliance—a team of Sentinels who work and earn together. You decide who can join (for example by invite, rank, or language) and what your group is about.

Your Alliance can share part of its rewards to give members more steady income, save for big group goals, or donate a portion to charity. It’s a way to turn solo play into teamwork, support each other, and grow faster together.

Compete with other Alliances in challenges.

Create partnerships

A partnership is a deal between two Watchers, for example: 10% of my Reputation Points for 20% of your Sentino earnings this week. The other Watcher can accept, decline or send a counter offer.

You set the terms:

  • Share up to 50% of your Sentinos or Reputation Points

  • Set minimum hours or weekly earnings, with warnings and automatic termination

Start with a trial period of 3 days, a week or a month, during which either of you can cancel for any reason.

House rules for Watchers

Shop owners let us look inside their stores. That trust is the whole business, so every Watcher agrees to these rules:

  • What you see stays here. No recording, screenshots or sharing of camera feeds, ever.
  • Report behaviour, not people. Judge what someone does on camera, never how they look.
  • Stay on duty. Catch your coins. Shops can charge Sentinos for missed ones.
  • Judge honestly in the Tribunal. Vote on what the video shows, nothing else.

Breaking these rules can get your account closed.

Basic requirements
Any modern phone, tablet, laptop, desktop PC, smart TV or game console with a web browser will do. Game controllers are fully supported, and you can cast the screen to a nearby TV. No special or expensive equipment needed: if you can open a website, you can watch.

Designed for difficult connections
The app runs as a progressive web application (PWA), built to keep working even in places with slow, unstable, or interrupted internet.

This means you can stay active, queue work, and reconnect smoothly when the signal is weak or drops, making it suitable for underserved and remote regions.
