Omnilert Launches 3rd-Generation AI Visual Gun Detection System
Omnilert explains that is newly updated gun detection system can protect a variety of commercial properties, including schools, retail establishments, universities, and hospitals through its AI-based platform that provides 24/7 gun detection.
Omnilert has just introduced its third-generation, AI-based gun detection platform.
LEESBURG, Va.—Omnilert, a manufacturer of active shooter solutions, has announced the release of its third generationAI visual gun detection system.
According to the Mid-Atlantic company, its latest solution feature significant advancements designed to further advance its gun detection system. Omnilert claims its product is the only solution to deliver a combination of detection, verification, activation and notification. The company states that is gun detection system can protect hundreds of schools, universities, hospitals, retail and commercial buildings, and other organization facilities and campuses around the country.
“Today’s customers better understand the technology behind AI visual gun detection and they want more than just detection and verification; they are also concerned with the accuracy of the models and how they are trained, as well as the capabilities the system can provide throughout an entire active shooting incident,” says Dave Fraser, CEO of Omnilert. “This new product release further boosts the core capabilities of Omnilert Gun Detect to empower customers with a layer of technology that can detect weapons with speed and accuracy, followed by a comprehensive and automatic response.”
AI Visual Gun Detection System Delivers Responsive Monitoring
Omnilert Gun Detect is an AI-powered visual gun detection software that delivers 24/7 monitoring of gun threats using existing security cameras. The system can identify a weapon in a fraction of a second—Omnilert Monitoring can verify in as little as three seconds and then activate a response in only two more seconds that can include dispatching police, locking doors, sounding alarms and automating other responses to notify those in trouble. One of the capabilities of the system is that it sends both still images and a short video clip when a threat is detected to provide more context to security personnel and first responders. During an event, it can also deliver ongoing situational awareness about the location and details of the shooter so important decisions can be made based on the timeliest data.
“We can’t respond our way out of these active shooter tragedies,” comments Chris Grollnek, founder and managing principal of the Active Shooter Prevention Project. “Our first line of defense should be prevention and with Omnilert’s ability to instantly identify a weapon either inside or outside a facility, this can provide first responders with the gift of time they need before shots are fired to ensure the best possible outcomes.”
The company points out the third generation of its gun detection system has added several key enhancements that provide customers effective, efficient and accurate AI visual gun detection technology that can be easily added as a vital layer of their overall security efforts.
Omnilert stresses that its Gun Detect’s AI architecture has been optimized to boost performance 10X for any given GPU over its original architecture, enabling more camera streams to be processed per server.
Some of the improvements made to the third-generation gun detection system include:
- Lower hardware costs for customers.
- High performance processing on highly available, commodity GPU and server platforms.
- (55) 1080P camera streams running at 15fps is achievable on a standard NVIDIA RTX 4060.
- Architecture efficiency for ensuring high frame rate video processing, providing 3-5X more opportunities to detect a gun every second vs. other solutions on the market.
- System operations occur at the provided frame rate in real time, instantly processing Variable Frame Rate streams from 1FPS to 30FPS without any delay in detection capability.
- PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) camera compatibility due to real time at frame rate analysis.
- Simplified management of large deployments across school districts, healthcare systems and throughout entire retail, commercial, government and corporate enterprises.
- Easily allows for centralized, dense rack server deployments in data centers to decentralized site-level server or appliance installations or a combination to accommodate a variety of networking topologies.
