Visible-firearm detection

Technologythat dominates.

It works with the cameras you already have. Analysis runs on site, so video stays in the building. Your team gets the frame and a confidence band.

At home

Arm the house away and a person on an interior camera is an intrusion alert. The message says somebody is inside, that no weapon has been seen, and that a pet can set it off.

The commonest false alarm is you, walking in your own front door. The alert fires at once, and a disarm inside five minutes ends it, unless an agency is already engaged.

A monitoring agent looks at the frame before anyone is dispatched. Nobody in your family is enrolled or recognised.

How a house is different

Arming states

Armed away

Nobody should be inside. Every camera raises alerts.

Armed home

People are inside and moving freely. Only outside cameras raise alerts.

Perimeter

Watch the way in, ignore the inside.

Disarmed

Only exterior cameras raise alerts. Everything else records without alerting.

Your lawful firearm indoors is not an event while you are home. A visible firearm outside alerts in every state.

Verification

Put a monitoring agent between the detection and the response. A false alert then costs a look at the camera instead of a police visit.

How the ladder works

Loss prevention

The same cameras, watching for a different thing. Events land in your team's queue, and your team decides what happens next.

Possible concealment

A hand went out and came back to the body and stayed there.

Stayed a long time

Somebody remained in one place well past the threshold set for this camera.

Somebody here after hours

A person was seen while this building was closed.

Entered a restricted area

A person was seen inside a region marked as staff-only.

This is an add-on for business sites, on cameras you choose to arm, priced per armed camera, per month.

Everything stays inside your organization, and your own staff are the only people told. They get a message rather than a phone call, and an unopened event closes itself.

No face recognition, no watchlists, and nobody is matched between visits. Labels name the behaviour, never the person.

See pricing

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.

Coverage

Every camera is rated for rifles and for handguns, separately, at the range it covers. You know what each one can see before it goes live.

At 60 feet, a 1080p narrow lens puts 37 pixels on a rifle and 17 on a handgun. The measured floor is 30 pixels, so that camera is rated for rifles.

Every alert names the weapon class it saw, so responders know what to look for. You are billed only for the cameras that clear the floor.

Setup takes four screens. Your site starts in calibration, so you see your own numbers before anyone is notified.
