Gun detection in surveillance video systems | Alice-Guardian

Alice-Guardian has an amazing analytic that helps to decrease the crime in the world doing gun detection in surveillance systems and giving the alert in real time for take action.

 

Thanks to progress in computer vision and artificial intelligence technologies, surveillance cameras can now see and recognize different objects in the environment, including firearms.

How gun detection AI works 

we connect surveillance cameras to ALICE-GUARDIAN server on site and AI algorithm starts to do detection frame per frame and analizing the action during period time once the object is detected the event is sent to ALICE-APP and also open a  POP-UP in control center room with sound that show the event in real time with the photo of shooter.

Alice-Guardiand Gun detection Feature

  • Works for 1 up to 100 cameras per server with multiple video analytics.
  • Send alarms to ALICE-APP
  • Send alerts to control room and is open for send to other VMS
  • API for integration.
  • Intruder Detection and configuration in each camera.
  • Can detect hand up in case that gun not be detected.
  • Cloud application for monitoring all the stations and receive all the alarms.

Benefits of gun detection in video surveillance system

Greater preparation and control against risk

Traditional surveillance systems perform one function: record video.

Not very useful right! What makes surveillance systems useful is that you are looking at the screens at the moment something is happening.

Adding intelligence to the system increases the level of calm and control, because if something happens you will know it immediately on your cell phone, through a notification.

More effective deterrent

Being aware of the dangerous situation when it occurs allows you to make better decisions to deal with the case.

Instant evidence

In the face of any event that occurs, once the system detects the weapon, it will send a message with a photograph of evidence to your WhatsApp.

Reduce personal risk

In situations of armed robbery, it is common for the attacker to end the life of the victim due to various factors.

The inexperience and intolerance of the attacker or the reactions of the victims are two of the factors that become relevant.

To avoid suspicious or altered movements of the victims that could lead to tragic endings, there must be peace of mind knowing that even if the victim does not report the event, the event has already been recorded and those who must react already have the necessary information.

How does gun detection work?

computer-vision

The firearms detector is based on the use of artificial intelligence:

A deep learning model trained with more than 3,000 images with various types of guns and the different movements that can occur in the hands.

The training allows to distinguish the weapons from the rest of the objects that can be presented in the video scene.

As soon as the weapon is detected, the software generates a visual alarm through a color highlighted box, and can also send audio or text alarms.

The reliability percentage of the system is 90%, in high quality videos.

Technical specifications of gun detection

  • Recognition time between detection and alert: 1 ~ 3 seconds until the alert is sent.
  • Detection reliability: 90% in high quality videos.
  • Night operation: Depends on the camera.
  • Video can be analysis performed on: Remote server.
  • Format of evidence sent: Notification with image.
  • Channel for sending evidence: WhatsApp.

Gun detection requirements

requerimientos del detector de armas de fuego

To install the weapons detector in your home, monitoring center or company you will need the following:

  • Surveillance system with NVR/DVR or IP Camera.
  • Choose the strategic points where you will install the weapons detector or create your safe zone.
  • Alice Relay .

Why use the weapon detector in surveillance systems?

Alice Safe Zone in Cameras
  • Increase your peace of mind and that of your family or collaborators.
  • Be aware of and control risk situations.
  • A system that detects guns and alerts up to 5 people of your choosing.
  • It works 24/7 automatically.
  • With this integration your surveillance system will not only record, but actually watch.

How can I use the gun detector in my surveillance systems?

What you have to do is acquire the secure zone solution with Alice and install the Alice Relay or Alice Retransmitter in the internet network where your NVR/DVR is connected, we take care of the rest.
