Detected. Verified. Escalated.

Firearms, intruders and theft, on the cameras your building already has.

Firearms

A visible weapon, on any camera

Intruders

A person where nobody should be

Theft

Behaviour worth a second look

One appliance on your network. Three things it watches for.

You are not buying three products. Which analyzers run, and where, is configuration on the building you already have.

01Firearms

A weapon in view of a lens

Rifles and handguns, rated per camera and named in the alert so responders know what they are walking toward. Every alert carries a band and the frame it opened on.

Schools · Business · Home

02Intruders

A person where nobody should be

Arm the building and a person indoors becomes an intrusion. The message says plainly that no weapon was seen, so nobody is sent in expecting one.

Home · Business after hours

03Theft

Behaviour worth a second look

Concealment, sweeps and exits that never crossed a till. It stays with your own staff, reaches no agency, and never matches a face to anybody.

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

Whatever was seen, the ladder is the same.

Every alert carries the frame, the camera it came from, what was seen and a confidence band. Never a percentage, because a percentage invites a judgement the model has not earned.

Every rung below is recorded with the time it fired, and the ladder keeps climbing whether or not anyone is watching the queue.

Coverage

You find out what a camera can see before you pay for it.

Every camera is measured for rifles and handguns separately, through its own lens, at the range it actually covers. The floor comes out of a sweep we ran, not a spec sheet.

A camera below the floor is told so and never reaches an invoice, even while it sits in your console doing its old job.

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 we would rather you heard from us.

It cannot see a concealed weapon

A firearm under a coat is invisible to a camera. Nothing on the market changes that, whatever it says in a brochure.

It produces false alerts

So you get a band rather than a number, a frame with every alert, and the option of a person between the detection and a dispatch.

Detection is not prevention

What this buys is warning, and warning is worth what your building does with it. That is why the ladder matters as much as the detector.

Get started

Start with one building, not the district.

Setup is four screens. Your site opens in calibration, so you watch your own numbers for as long as you need before anybody's phone rings. 7 grant programs pay for this work.
