Why Omnilert?
What Makes Us #1? Everything That Actually Matters
Data-Centric AI That’s Built for the Real World with REAL Data
At Omnilert, we believe that accuracy in gun detection doesn’t start with fancy models — it starts with the right data. That’s why we take a data-centric approach to AI, focusing on real, diverse, and representative footage rather than relying on synthetic or greenscreen-generated images. Real-world gun detection is messy. Lighting varies, weapons come in all shapes, and environments are full of noise and movement. Our data-centric methodology trains AI to succeed in these exact scenarios — because we use real data from real conditions, not simulations. The result? More reliable detection, fewer false positives, and a system that actually works where it matters most.
While other providers obsess over model architecture and synthetic datasets, we’ve invested in curating and expanding the most robust, high-quality gun detection dataset in the industry. This gives our award-winning, patented AI the ability to adapt quickly to new threats, new weapons, and new environments — without having to rebuild the model from scratch. It also means fewer blind spots, better generalization, and a faster path to continuous improvement. Want to see why this approach truly sets us apart?
Instant, Automated Emergency Response — At Scale
Detecting a gun is only the beginning. What sets Omnilert apart is what happens next. As the only AI gun detection provider capable of fully automating a real-time emergency response, Omnilert empowers organizations to act immediately and decisively. Once a detection is human-verified, our platform can instantly dispatch law enforcement, initiate facility-wide lockdowns, trigger alarms, update digital signage, and send mass communications — all with detailed, location-specific incident information.
At the heart of this capability is our built-in Emergency Notification System (ENS) — a proven platform that enables targeted, multi-channel messaging and real-time communication with the people who need it most. Backed by a powerful integration framework, Omnilert seamlessly connects to over 50 leading security technologies and continues to deliver custom integrations tailored to each environment. From physical infrastructure to digital systems, Omnilert doesn’t just notify — it orchestrates a full-scale response, complete with two-way communication to help manage and contain threats as they unfold.
Flexibility That Works the Way You Do
Omnilert is built to fit your security environment — not force you into ours. From the way alerts are verified to where they’re routed, we offer unmatched flexibility in how our platform is deployed and used. Whether you rely on your own Security Operations Center (SOC), a trusted third-party monitoring provider, or a hybrid model, Omnilert adapts to your workflow. We support native integrations with your VMS, access control, and command center platforms — while giving you complete control over how detections are verified and escalated.
Our team customizes each deployment to match the unique needs of your organization, so you can keep the partners, tools, and processes you already trust. That’s what real flexibility looks like.
Open by Design. Built to Work with You. Enterprise Ready
At Omnilert, we don’t believe in lock-in. We believe in plug-in. Our platform is built to integrate seamlessly into the security systems you already trust — from your existing cameras and video management systems to access control, mass notification, and monitoring. With 20+ years of integration experience and a deeply invested partner ecosystem, we’ve made it effortless to add real-time AI gun detection into your existing security stack without disruption or compromise. Whether you use a mix of legacy systems or cutting-edge tech, we meet you where you are — and make your tools work harder, together.
That means no rip-and-replace, no finger-pointing between vendors, and no limits on your ability to evolve. Our open architecture is fully documented, actively supported, and proven at scale — even in the most complex enterprise environments.

Mission-Driven to Make a Real Impact
At Omnilert, we’re not just building security solutions — we’re driven by a deep, personal commitment to end gun violence and help save lives. For some on our team, that commitment is rooted in personal experience. Like so many across the country, we’ve felt the impact of these tragedies in our extended communities, and that reality fuels our determination to create meaningful change. These events aren’t distant headlines to us — they’re a constant reminder of why this work matters.
That’s why we put our values into action. Through our Secure Schools Grant Program and Safe Haven Grant Program, we provide funding and support to help protect K–12 schools, houses of worship, and vulnerable organizations — regardless of size or budget. We believe safety should be accessible to everyone, not just those with the largest resources. We don’t put profits over people — we put people first. Our goal isn’t just to grow. It’s to help save lives.
SAFETY Act Designation
Omnilert is proud to be the first visual AI gun detection technology with a built-in Emergency Response Management System to receive the SAFETY Act Designation from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security — a powerful validation of our system’s effectiveness and reliability in helping prevent and mitigate acts of terrorism. This designation not only affirms our commitment to delivering trusted, mission-critical safety solutions, but also provides our customers with important legal protections under the SAFETY Act, reducing liability and risk when deploying our technology. It’s one more way Omnilert gives you confidence in every layer of your security response.
Enterprise-Ready Privacy and Compliance
Omnilert is built to meet the highest standards of data protection and operational trust. With certifications including SOC 2, HIPAA, TX-RAMP, and participation in the Data Privacy Framework (DPF), our platform is fully equipped to support Fortune 500 enterprises and public sector customers with rigorous security, privacy, and regulatory requirements. Whether you’re deploying in education, healthcare, government, public, or the private sector, you can trust Omnilert to keep your data secure.
