Market Leaders will Integrate AI-based Smart Building Security Solution with Proactive Gun Detection and Intelligent Situational Awareness Software
AUGUST 8, 2024 – Philadelphia, PA
Kognition, the market leader in artificial intelligence (AI)-powered cyber-physical security systems for smart buildings, and ZeroEyes, the creators of the only AI-based gun detection video analytics platform that holds the US Department of Homeland Security Safety Act Designation, today announced a partnership to provide integrated safety monitoring, gun detection, and intelligent situational awareness to schools and other organizations nationwide. The combined capabilities of Kognition and ZeroEyes deliver a proactive and comprehensive, “always on, always vigilant” approach to security.
Most organizations today operate security systems using legacy technology that is manpower-dependent, reactive, and lacking intelligence and real-time reporting. This approach is not only expensive and labor-intensive, but creates security gaps that can lead to catastrophic events, including the loss of life. Through the power of the Kognition and ZeroEyes partnership, K-12 and other organizations can now benefit from integrated AI security providing proactive safety and security monitoring and real-time alerts, including gun detection, at significantly less cost than alternative options, and all without adding new staff. This integrated, “force-multiplier” security system ensures both data security and privacy for students, faculty, staff and visitors, all while working with existing camera and access control systems.
AI never sleeps, never takes a break, and is the future of security for those organizations who want to use smart technology to create safer spaces. “ZeroEyes has established itself as the clear market leader in AI-based weapons detection”, Matias Klein, CEO, Kognition commented. “This partnership ensures Kognition’s clients can deploy a fully integrated, best-in-class gun detection AI backed by an exceptional leadership team and expert, specially trained operators, all within Kognition’s easy-to-use smart building platform.”
With the exponential rise in gun-related violence, organizations across the country struggle with how to safeguard those they need to protect. “Kognition is as serious about saving lives as we are, so we’re excited to explore the possibilities of this partnership,” said Mike Lahiff, CEO, ZeroEyes. “The combination of our gun detection capabilities and Kognition’s portfolio of security offerings creates a holistic solution that protects organizations against threats of all types.”.
ZeroEyes’ AI gun detection and intelligent situational awareness software layers onto existing digital security cameras. If a gun is identified, images are instantly shared with the ZeroEyes Operations Center (ZOC), the industry’s only U.S.-based, fully in-house operation center, which is staffed 24/7/365 by specially trained military and law enforcement veterans. If these experts determine that the threat is valid, they dispatch alerts and actionable intelligence — including visual description, gun type, and last known location — to law enforcement and local staff as quickly as 3 to 5 seconds from detection.
By enhancing security through AI, schools, businesses, and other organizations can reduce the volume of security incidents, improve adherence to safety and reporting regulations, and enhance organizational reputation.
