ZeroEyes and Metrasens have announced a new industry partnership.
This collaboration will enhance safety measures across campuses across the US, including hospitals and schools, by combining edge detection technologies to better protect customers in these environments.
Through this partnership, ZeroEyes and Metrasens will create layered security approach that benefits both the education and healthcare sectors.
ZeroEyes AI-powered solution
ZeroEyes’ AI-powered solution leverages existing security cameras to proactively detect brandished firearms, instantly identifying visible threats in real-time.
Meanwhile, Metrasens’ advanced concealed weapons screening technology focuses on identifying hidden dangers, detecting concealed weapons without disrupting the flow of daily activities.
Combined, these solutions offer a comprehensive, layered security approach, addressing both visible and hidden threats to ensure a safer environment.
Metrasens Ultra
Metrasens Ultra, a weapons detection system, uses technology to swiftly and accurately detect potential threats, including concealed weapons.
With advanced sensor technology, it detects items like guns, knives and even vapes.
Its lightweight, portable design and intuitive interface make it easy to operate in diverse environments, the company says.
“An environment of safety and reassurance”
Simon Goodyear, CEO, Metrasens commented: “Security, especially in hospitals and schools, should create an environment of safety and reassurance, fostering comfort and well-being.
“We understand that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution, so we’re thrilled to partner with ZeroEyes to offer a complete weapons detection solution to our current and future customers.”
ZeroEyes Operations Centre
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 Centre (ZOC), a US-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 three to five seconds from detection.
“Continue expanding”
Mike Lahiff, CEO and Co-Founder, ZeroEyes stated: “ZeroEyes is dedicated to eliminating gun violence and our partnerships are instrumental in making this a reality.
“Working with Metrasens to enhance the security of organizations across the country is a privilege and we are excited to continue expanding our efforts to safeguard even more lives.”
