ZeroEyes has announced the expansion of its platform beyond firearm detection to knife detection and real-time threat geolocation.

The company says the new capabilities reflect its goal to become a single, trusted platform that organizations will use to secure, detect and respond to a wide range of critical security events.

The core of the new platform remains ZeroEyes’ computer vision technology, but the company is further developing a platform that integrates preparedness, operational awareness and investigative insights.

“ZeroEyes continues to push the boundaries of what AI-powered security can deliver,” said Mike Lahiff, CEO and founder of ZeroEyes.

“We felt that the time was right to leverage the unmatched experience and success that we’ve built in AI gun detection to give our customers a comprehensive security solution that they can trust from preparation to detection to response.”

AI-based knife detection and geolocation

The platform includes three product lines:

  • Secure: Solutions include expert site surveys, comprehensive mapping, the recently announced ZeroLink solution, and more on the way
  • Detect: AI detection of guns, knives, intruders, crowds, left-behind objects, and more
  • Respond: Real-time threat geolocation, drone-based AI, and the ZeroEyes Operations Center, with investigation analytics coming soon

The new capabilities include knife detection. Created to address increasing demand in the US and internationally, this AI-based technology identifies blades of 6 inches or greater, which are most commonly associated with violent incidents.

Real-time threat geolocation is now provided for individuals of interest across multiple camera feeds based on non-biometric visual characteristics.

This capability allows security teams to follow an individual of interest across a facility and establish a clear timeline of movement, helping responders act quickly and effectively after the initial threat is detected.

The third capability is a general analytics suite. These include detection of intruders – including people, vehicles, drones and boats – as well as crowd formation, abandoned objects and camera obstructions.

ZeroEyes also now offers real-time camera health monitoring. Customers can configure alerts based on their specific security requirements, enabling more efficient incident response, the company says.
