Gun detection on the cameras you already own.

No new hardware. One appliance, four things it watches.

One appliance. Four things it watches.

Not four products. Which analyzers run, and where, is a setting on the building you already have.

01

Firearms

Rifles and handguns, rated per camera. Every alert names the class and carries its frame.

Schools · Business · Home

02

Intruders

Arm the building. A person inside becomes an alert that says no weapon was seen.

Home

03

Fire

Flame and smoke, in every arming state. Not a smoke alarm: it sees one room.

Home

04

Theft

Concealment, sweeps and exits that never crossed a till. No agency, no face matching.

Business, on cameras you arm

Your staff review the clip and decide what happens next. Concealment can look like ordinary movement, and ordinary movement can look like concealment. An event is a prompt to look, never proof and never an accusation.

The response

Every alert follows the same steps.

Every alert carries the frame, the camera, and what was seen. It is rated possible, probable, or critical, never a percentage.

Each rung is recorded with the time it fired. The ladder climbs whether or not anyone is watching.

Coverage

Know what each camera can see before you pay.

Each camera is rated for rifles and handguns separately, through its own lens. The floor comes from a sweep we ran, not a spec sheet.

A camera below the floor is told so, and never reaches an invoice.

A four camera survey

CameraRifleHandgunBilled
Main entrance1080p · Narrow lens at 13 ft86 px40 pxYes
West plaza1080p · Narrow lens at 25 ft44 px21 pxYes
Bus loop1080p · Narrow lens at 33 ft34 px16 pxYes
Rear lot1080p · Wide lens at 40 ft11 px5 pxNo

The measured floor is 30 px. 3 of these 4 clear it. Rear lot clears neither class, so it is rated unusable and is not charged for.

Three things this cannot do.

It cannot see a concealed weapon

A firearm under a coat is invisible to a camera. Nothing on the market changes that.

It produces false alerts

So you get a rating, not a number, and a person can stand between the alert and a dispatch.

Detection is not prevention

This buys warning. What the warning is worth depends on what your building does with it.

Get started

Start with one building, not the district.

Setup takes a few screens. Your site opens in calibration, so you watch your own numbers before any phone rings. 7 grant programs pay for this work.
