How Can We Prevent Gun Violence?

There are several ways to protect an organization from these dangerous events. Developing a safety plan that’s thorough and easily remembered for emergency situations is a start, but it only works if it is effective.

A.I. Powered Visual Gun Detection

A.I. powered visual gun detection software was created to identify active shooters in seconds and then instantly kick off a series of pre-planned responses such as notify police, lock doors, and send out alerts. It can also actively monitor the shooter and communicate with victims and response teams during the duration of the event.

Easily integrates into existing security systems

Executes automatic response plans, allowing for near-instantaneous alerts and response times

Provides 24/7 automated coverage
