ZeroEyes AI revolutionises drone threat detection

ZE Government Solutions (ZEGS), a wholly owned subsidiary of AI-based gun detection pioneer ZeroEyes, launched ZeroEyes Aerial Detection Kit (ZAD), a portable, drone-based AI threat detection and intelligent situational awareness solution designed for public safety agencies.  The kit provides operators with a stand-alone drone solution that can be deployed in minutes from agencies' existing drone platforms to detect firearms, people, vehicles, drones, and maritime vessels. Rapid integration with drones Outdoor spaces are among the most challenging environments to protect due to their size and open nature, leaving them vulnerable to unauthorised access and potential gun-related violence. ZeroEyes Aerial Detection addresses this critical need with layered advanced AI analytics that detect threats in real time through a drone's live camera feed. To provide confidence and situational awareness, detections can be viewed instantly by law enforcement or security personnel and dispatched immediately to on-site staff when detections are made. Rapid integration with drones ensures that first responders or federal agencies are quickly informed of on-scene security threats, allowing for appropriate response posture to the current situation. ZeroEyes Aerial Detection Kit The kit enhances drone operations for a variety of scenarios, including drone response, event and perimeter security, armed assailants, suspect and article searches, barricaded gunmen, hostage situations, and domestic disputes. Providing immediate detections and alerting improves law enforcement situational awareness and personnel safety. ZeroEyes Aerial Detection Kit integrates seamlessly with existing drones and drone programs, and comes equipped with a carry-on case and a ZeroEyes laptop to stream video and deliver automated alerts to dispatch or operations centers via LTE, Wi-Fi, or mesh radio. It connects to drone feeds or controllers through HDMI, IP address, RTSP or Headsets, and is compliant with the National Defense Authorisation Act and protected by DHS SAFETY Act designation. New drone solution “Protecting outdoor spaces is one of the greatest challenges in security today,” said Dustin Kisling, Executive Vice President of ZE Government Solutions. “With our new drone solution, we can detect potential threats in real time and provide verified alerts, giving organisations and the public the confidence that help is on the way when it matters most.”

ZeroEyes AI gun detection in Kanawha County Schools

ZeroEyes, the creators of the first AI-based gun detection video analytics platform to earn the full U.S. Department of Homeland Security SAFETY Act Designation, announced that its proactive AI gun detection and intelligent situational awareness software has been deployed by Kanawha County Schools (KCS) to help protect students, staff, and visitors from gun-related threats. With the help of IT services and solutions provider Advantage Technology, KCS is the first district in West Virginia to deploy ZeroEyes, joining hundreds of K-12 schools nationwide already protected by the technology. Largest public school district KCS serves a number of communities in Kanawha County, with its central office located in Charleston, West Virginia. It is the largest public school district in the state, serving more than 22,000 students and 6,000 staff members across 62 buildings, including 34 elementary schools, 10 middle schools, and 8 high schools, as well as the Ben Franklin Career Center, the Carver Career and Technical Education Center, and Chandler Academy. With a footprint that spans urban, suburban, and rural communities, the district provides a world-class education that prepares all students to be college- and career-ready. Layered safety strategy Kanawha County Schools has added ZeroEyes to its layered safety strategy, which also includes Verkada cameras Guided by its belief that every child can achieve, and that safe, caring schools are essential to student success, Kanawha County Schools has added ZeroEyes to its layered safety strategy, which also includes Verkada cameras, an integrated emergency mapping system, and much more. "A neighbouring district deployed a different AI gun detection system and was so overwhelmed by false positives that staff ultimately ignored the alarms,” said Director of Security, Bryan Carper, adding “ZeroEyes’ operation centre is full of military and law enforcement experts who rapidly verify every detection to eliminate these false alerts. That ‘human-in-the-loop’ aspect is very important to us.” ZeroEyes' AI gun detection 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 centre, which is staffed 24/7/365 by specially trained U.S. military and law enforcement veterans. If these experts determine the threat is valid, they dispatch alerts and actionable intelligence — including visual description, gun type, and last known location — to local law enforcement and school administration as quickly as 3 to 5 seconds from detection. Proactive school safety “Advantage Technology is proud to partner with ZeroEyes in delivering a cutting-edge AI gun detection system for Kanawha County Schools, reinforcing our shared commitment to proactive school safety. We’re always looking for the most effective, forward-thinking solutions to protect our students and staff,” said Jonah Adkins, School Safety Consultant for Advantage Technology. Jonah Adkins adds, “ZeroEyes brings a level of precision and reliability that aligns perfectly with our mission. At Advantage, we continually strive to bring the best technologies to the table — solutions that not only meet our customers’ needs but exceed their expectations.” “Kanawha County Schools is setting the standard for school safety in West Virginia,” said Mike Lahiff, CEO and Co-Founder of ZeroEyes, adding “By embracing innovative solutions like ZeroEyes, they’re showing what’s possible statewide.”
