Gun detector for small businesses

With this, ZeroEyes’ security software is now available for organisations such as convenience stores, gas stations, retail stores, bars, restaurants, pharmacies, parks and splash pads, religious organizations, daycares, and banks as well as private residences to deploy on their existing digital IP cameras.

“Through the ZeroEyes Research Center, we have discovered that gun violence is often unpredictable and can strike anyone, anywhere, at any time,” said Mike Lahiff, CEO and co-founder of ZeroEyes. “Leveraging the same powerful technology that protects K-12 schools, colleges, hospitals, military bases, and large businesses around the country, ZEO now empowers smaller organisations and even people in their own homes to significantly enhance their security and keep themselves or their patrons and employees safe from gun-related violence.”

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 524 workerswere killed in gun-related incidents in 2022. While the primary concern is protecting human lives, business leaders must also consider broader implications, including loss of customers, property and reputation damage, increased insurance costs, and staff retention issues.

The financial costs of gun-related violence are substantial and challenging to quantify, with estimates ranging from $229 billion to $557 billion per year.

Organisations and individuals can purchase one, three, or five-year ZEO subscriptions for 1-16 digital IP cameras.

They will then receive ZeroEyes’ hardware by mail, along with detailed installation instructions and video materials to complete the setup. ZeroEyes will verify the deployment to confirm the setup is complete and functioning correctly.

If ZEO identifies a gun at any time, 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 local law enforcement and a chosen customer contact as quickly as 3 to 5 seconds from detection.
