explosive devices, on a visitor entering a premises. The
introduction of this technology is a part of Motorola Solutions’
ongoing commitment to the innovation and integration of security

Detection Solution (Photo: Business Wire)
The solution is designed to allow up to 3600 visitors to walk
through one of the scanning systems per hour without having to
conduct pat downs or empty pockets as the technology can
distinguish between personal items and weapons. If a threat is
detected, an alert is displayed on an Express tablet showing the
location of the potential threat on the person’s body, or in their
bag, to security operators. Alerts are sent directly to Motorola
Solutions’ video management system, Avigilon Control Center (ACC),
which automatically notifies and shares live video with the
facility’s security team so they have precise awareness of the
situation and can support an immediate response.
“Through the use of AI, we are automating and unifying workflows
to better protect people against the threat of violence,” said John
Kedzierski, senior vice president, Video Security & Analytics
at Motorola Solutions. “Concealed Weapon Detection is an excellent
example of how technology can help enterprises prevent threats from
turning into tragedies.”
In addition, the sensitivity levels on the CWD solution can be
adjusted to align with the safety needs of a facility based on
their anticipated threat-scenarios. This capability allows for the
technology to identify and flag new threat profiles over time, and
enables security personnel to manage data and insights that help to
provide a safe and positive experience for visitors and staff.
Motorola Solutions’ CWD is now available in North America. For
more information on Motorola Solutions’ integrated technology
ecosystem for venues, please contact sales.
