The expanded platform brings together detection, mapping and response tools, enabling security teams to monitor activity across environments and act on potential threats in real time.
ZeroEyes has announced it is expanding its artificial intelligence-based gun detection platform into a broader security offering that includes new analytics capabilities and additional product categories.
The new capabilities, available now in limited release, mark the company's most significant strategic shift since its founding in 2018, when it set out to protect schools, churches, healthcare facilities and businesses from gun threats.
"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," said Mike Lahiff, CEO and founder of ZeroEyes.
The Detect line now includes AI identification of knives with blades of six inches or greater — a threshold the company says corresponds most closely to blades associated with violent incidents. The offering was created, the company noted, to address increasing demand both in the United States and internationally.
Among the most technically ambitious additions is real-time threat geolocation, which follows an individual of interest across multiple camera feeds using non-biometric visual characteristics. The system is designed to give security teams a clear timeline of a subject's movements through a facility after an initial threat is detected, with the goal of helping responders act more quickly and effectively.
A general analytics suite rounds out the new detection capabilities. It covers intruder detection — encompassing people, vehicles, drones and boats — along with alerts for crowd formation, abandoned objects and camera obstructions. Real-time camera health monitoring is also now available, with configurable alerts tied to a facility's specific security requirements.
The expanded platform is organized into three product lines:
- Secure: Includes site surveys, mapping tools and the ZeroLink solution, with additional offerings planned
- Detect: Covers AI-based detection of guns, knives, intruders, crowds and left-behind objects
- Respond: Includes real-time threat geolocation, drone-based AI, the ZeroEyes Operations Center and planned investigation analytics
The company's core computer vision technology, which currently protects thousands of buildings in nearly every state, remains the foundation of the expanded platform. ZeroEyes framed the new additions as part of a longer-term goal to become a single platform that organizations use to secure, detect and respond to a wide range of critical security events.
