Gunshot Detection
Faster awareness, faster response
Gunshot detection adds an additional layer of incident awareness for businesses in higher-risk environments. Acoustic sensors identify gunfire and trigger immediate alerts, helping you respond faster when seconds matter.
How gunshot detection works
Acoustic detection
Specialized sensors analyze sound signatures to identify gunfire with high accuracy, distinguishing shots from other loud noises.
Immediate alerting
When gunfire is detected, alerts are sent instantly to designated contacts and can trigger automated responses like lockdowns.
Integrated response
Detection events integrate with your security system for coordinated response—triggering video recording, access lockdowns, and professional monitoring dispatch.
