AI GUN DETECTION SYSTEM

Protect Lives with Omnilert Gun Detect

Transform your security system into a proactive force. Omnilert Gun Detect uses advanced AI to turn passive cameras into life-saving tools, protecting lives while reducing the operational, legal, and social costs of gun violence.

OUR SOLUTION

Identify Guns and Initiate Intelligence-driven Responses

Every second counts when lives are at stake. Omnilert Gun Detect empowers security teams with a proactive system that detects firearms—both indoors and outdoors—before a shot is fired.

In fractions of a second, our AI identifies a gun threat and sends human-verified intelligence to first responders and automatically activates safety systems through an array of off-the-shelf integrations to maximize every critical second.

How it Works:

  1. AI Detection: Continuously scans camera feeds for visible firearms in real-time.
  2. Human Verification: Confirms accuracy, escalates as dictated.
  3. Automated Response: Activates safety systems and notifies first responders within seconds.

MAXIMIZE EVERY SECOND

Buy More Time to Stop a Potential Threat

A fast response with actionable intelligence is what changes outcomes in a moment of potential gun violence. Omnilert Gun Detect identifies firearms at first sight, starting the response timeline earlier than ever. Through detailed situational intelligence, first responders know exactly where to go, who to look for, and what type of threat they face—ensuring a faster, more effective response.

Through extensive integrations, your safety systems become a preventive solution to warn those in harm's way and/or slow the progress of the suspect. You can lock doors, sound alarms, illuminate evacuation routes, and more—all within seconds of detecting a potential threat.

“The technology works as advertised. It is accurate, provides quick notifications, and is a cost-effective way to transition your reactive camera system to a proactive portion of your security strategy.”
Jason StoddardDirector of School Safety and Security, Charles County Public Schools

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Visual Gun Detection

How are gun violence statistics trending?

Per gun violence statistics in the United States, we rank 32nd in the world. With nearly four gun deaths per 100,000 people, the United States is eight times more deadly than Canada and nearly 100 times more deadly than the UK. Gun ownership rose during the pandemic, with a 20% increase in the number of federal background checks for gun purchases from March 2019 to March 2020. The worst part of these statistics is the increase in deaths attributable to guns, especially those of children.

Can mass shootings be prevented?

While emergency notification, engagement, and management are all designed to inform people and prevent harm, Omnilert has a set of AI-enhanced capabilities that move the timeline even earlier. Our Prevention Suite is designed to provide advance warning and rich data to the organization, so they can determine the best course of action and initiate the correct response. The native gun detection and mass notification integration reduces the time from first sighting to alerting to a handful of seconds and ultimately saves lives.

What is a gun detection system?

Powered by artificial intelligence (AI), Omnilert Gun Detect reliably and rapidly recognizes firearms and immediately triggers multi-channel communication alerts and automated pre-defined safety protocols.

Are gun detection systems effective?

Gunshot detection systems only inform you after the incident has already escalated. Your surveillance system can only help you investigate after the fact. In comparison, Omnilert Gun Detect gives emergency response teams advance warning before shots are fired and delivers precise information on the location and visuals of the potential shooter.

What is the best gun detection technology?

As gun violence in the United States continues to steadily increase, organizations and institutions are seeking new ways to protect their constituents. Video surveillance systems are increasingly being deployed, although monitoring can be difficult, unreliable, and expensive. Omnilert Gun Detect offers always-on monitoring with unparalleled reliability at a price point affordable to organizations and institutions of all sizes and complexities.

Which gun detection technology is best for large campuses?

Powered by artificial intelligence (AI), Omnilert Gun Detect uses existing video surveillance systems to reliably and rapidly recognize firearms and immediately trigger multi-channel alerts and automated pre-defined safety protocols. The combination of these rich capabilities provides campus safety teams with the broadest array of solutions, spanning prevention, notification, engagement and management.
