Once the system detects an anomaly, it sends short video clips and live location details directly to your operator panel.

Contextual verification cross-references with access control data, helping reduce false alarms by distinguishing between authorized staff and real threats.

Computer vision analysis operates in real time, ensuring your security team remains informed about emerging risks.

Acoustic Detection Systems

Acoustic detection systems utilize sensors to detect muzzle blasts and shockwaves.

The sensors process audio between 200 and 1,500 Hz in only three to five milliseconds.

Advanced algorithms distinguish gunfire from other event sounds, reducing false alarms.

These systems deliver rapid threat identification through several capabilities:

• Pinpoint the source of a shot within a range of two to twenty-five meters using location triangulation.
• Send real-time alerts directly to security teams and law enforcement without delay.
• Integrate seamlessly with existing weapons-detection systems for layered protection.

This instant response can help manage crowded events, where every second counts for safety.
