Data Center Security Systems
AI Gun Detection, ENS, and Emergency Response Automation
Physical security at data centers usually takes a backseat to cybersecurity, which makes sense until you realize that a single violent incident can take down services for thousands of customers just as effectively as any digital attack.
Omnilert’s AI gun detection turns your existing security infrastructure into a robust early warning system that spots firearms before an incident occurs, giving you the time you need to protect both people and infrastructure.
What Makes Data Centers a Target for Gun Violence?
Public safety considerations for cities and townships are different from those of private facilities. The same features that make your public spaces valuable to the community also present some risk.
- Critical Infrastructure Value: You’re housing servers and network equipment worth millions. It’s an attractive target to anyone looking to cause maximum disruption.
- Service Disruption Potential: One incident could cascade to thousands of downstream customers, creating widespread impact and media attention.
- Symbolic Targeting: If you’re hosting infrastructure for major tech companies, government systems, or financial services, your facility represents institutional power in ways that can attract hostile attention.

Where We Can Help Data Center Security Challenges
You may already have great server room security, but there are several vulnerable areas when it comes to large data centers with 24/7 operations.
Multiple Security Zones
Most data centers run layered security with multiple teams, and that means emergency response needs to be carefully coordinated.
24/7 Operations
Data centers typically operate around-the-clock, which means your security systems need to be working reliably both day and night.
Staff Limitations
Even your most dedicated security officer can’t meaningfully monitor 20+ camera screens at once, especially when they’re spread across multiple buildings.
Legacy System Integration
Some data centers have invested heavily in existing security infrastructure that needs to work with new technology.

Omnilert’s DHS SAFETY Act designation offers liability protection.
Our Open Architecture Integrate Existing Security Technology
Omnilert integrates with your existing security infrastructure including surveillance cameras, VMS, and access control systems. That means you can add reliable gun detection capabilities and robust security workflow automation without replacing your entire system.
Using an open architecture approach, Omnilert can be tailored to the unique needs of your data center and your specific security protocols. Whether you’re running Genetec, Milestone, or another platform, our platform adapts without forcing your security team to abandon familiar workflows and interfaces.
Emergency Communications Customize Our Emergency Communications Platform for Your Data Center
Your emergency communication systems should be reliable, easy-to-use, and customized to meet the specific needs of your data center. From high-stakes emergencies to common notifications, our system can be adapted to automate a total response to virtually any scenario.

FAQ Common Questions About Data Center Security Systems
How does AI gun detection work in facilities with restricted areas and multiple security clearance levels?
The system monitors based on camera placement and zone configuration you control. Restricted areas get coverage without the AI storing facial data or tracking identities. Our proprietary AI is trained to look for firearms, not faces. You determine which detection events trigger what responses in different zones, so a server room alert can follow completely different protocols than something detected in a loading dock.
What happens if a threat is detected in a loading dock or parking area outside the main building?
Perimeter detections trigger immediate alerts to your security team with visual confirmation and precise camera location. Most facilities configure different response protocols for exterior zones—maybe security personnel get notified first while interior detections trigger immediate lockdowns. The system’s flexible enough to match responses to threat proximity.
Does Omnilert work with our current VMS and security operations center workflows?
We’ve integrated with numerous VMS platforms and SOC configurations. Our goal is to avoid disrupting the processes that already work well while making your existing cameras smarter and your response protocols faster. Most implementations add AI gun detection capabilities while preserving existing monitoring workflows.
