Omnilert’s Gun Detection System

A gun detection system is a proactive security solution that uses advanced technology—such as artificial intelligence and computer vision—to identify the presence of firearms in real time. By continuously analyzing live video from security cameras, the system can recognize visible guns and immediately alert designated personnel. This early detection enables faster decision-making and response, helping organizations mitigate threats before violence occurs.

Yes, Omnilert’s gun detection system is specifically designed to identify visible firearms before shots are fired. By detecting a weapon the moment it appears on camera, the system provides a critical early warning window that allows organizations to initiate safety procedures, notify occupants, and contact first responders before an incident escalates.

Omnilert’s gun detection system is built to integrate seamlessly with most existing IP-based security cameras. Because it operates on standard video feeds, organizations can enhance their current security infrastructure without replacing cameras or installing specialized hardware, making deployment faster, more affordable, and less disruptive.

Yes, Omnilert’s gun detection system is designed to support a wide range of environments, including enterprises, hospitals, K–12 schools, higher education campuses, corporate campuses, distribution facilities, casinos, public transportation, stadiums, venues, houses of worship, public spaces, and more. Its scalable architecture and privacy-focused design make it well-suited for organizations seeking proactive safety without disrupting daily operations.

At Omnilert, after a firearm is detected and verified by a human, the system can automatically initiate predefined response workflows, such as notifying on-site security, sending mass emergency notifications, or activating safety procedures like lockdowns, and much more. These automated actions help ensure consistent, rapid responses during critical moments.

Omnilert’s gun detection system is designed with privacy in mind, focusing exclusively on identifying weapons rather than recognizing faces or tracking individuals. The solution aligns with established security best practices and compliance standards, making it appropriate for sensitive environments while balancing safety, privacy, and responsible AI use.

Omnilert stands apart by delivering a truly end-to-end gun detection and emergency response solution that goes beyond standalone technology. Unlike competitors that focus solely on detection, Omnilert combines advanced, data-centric AI trained on real-world firearm scenarios with optional 24/7 human verification to ensure accuracy and reduce false alerts. The platform integrates seamlessly with existing security cameras and automatically triggers coordinated response workflows—including mass notifications, lockdown actions, and first-responder alerts—within seconds of detection. Backed by large real-world deployments, continuous model improvement, and recognition such as U.S. Department of Homeland Security SAFETY Act Designation, Omnilert provides a proven, proactive approach to threat detection that helps organizations act faster, reduce risk, and protect lives more effectively than traditional or point-solution alternatives.
