Signature Characteristics vs. Simple Sound Detection for Pinpointing and Responding to Gunshots Fired

PartnerForSecurity, Inc. chose Sound and Optics Systems as a strategic partner to offer this detection technology based upon two distinctive product differentiators. First, the system is designed on the identification of the signature of a sound. This enables the system to be fine tuned to detect specific sounds and also to eliminate other sounds that do not meet the specific signature characteristics. Other gunshot technology on the market simply detect sound resulting in a higher number of false alerts, which is costly and time consuming for law enforcement professionals charged with responding to the alerts.

Secondly, the Sentri II System is integrated with an IP Digital PTZ Camera. When a gunshot is detected, the signature is confirmed and the location of the gunshot is pinpointed. Then the PTZ spins around in a fraction of a second to capture and zoom in on the shooter on video. This provides law enforcement or other personnel critical and timely information. The Sentri II System assists them in making informed decisions for deploying additional officers and activate public safety protocols.
