ZeroEyes’ AI gun detection and situational awareness software integrates seamlessly with existing digital security cameras. Upon detecting a firearm, images are immediately transmitted to the ZeroEyes Operations Center (ZOC), which is staffed 24/7 by trained U.S. military and law enforcement veterans. If these experts confirm the threat, they will quickly relay alerts and actionable intelligence, including visual descriptions, gun type, and last known location, to local law enforcement and the school security team within three to five seconds.
