Industry-Leading Platform Provides Alerts and
Intelligent Situational Awareness as Quickly as 3-5
Seconds From Detection
PHILADELPHIA, July 11,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ZeroEyes, the creators of
the only AI-based gun detection video analytics platform that holds
the US Department of Homeland Security Safety Act Designation, and
Aegix Global, a Utah-based
provider of industry-leading safety and personal protection
resources technology, today announced that they have successfully
deployed ZeroEyes' AI gun detection and situational awareness
software in more than 200 Utah schools.
ZeroEyes' software has been integrated into the Aegix AIM active
incident management platform since spring 2023. Schools and
districts that have deployed the combined solution include American
Leadership Academy, American Preparatory Academy, and the school
districts of Cache County,
Carbon, Grand, Juab,
Layton City, North Summit, South
Summit, Provo, Wasatch, and Waterford School Districts, among
others.
The Aegix AIM (Active Incident Management) platform cuts through
chaos to remove guesswork and delays, saving precious time in an
emergency. The system allows individuals in schools, businesses,
and other organizations to notify first responders and colleagues
about a crisis with the touch of a button. In a worst-case
scenario, such as an active shooter, teachers simply push a button
in the app to let administrators and first responders know if they
are "safe" or "unsafe." Aegix AIM can be operated from a desktop,
laptop or smartphone.
"Incorporating ZeroEyes into our AIM solution to mitigate
gun-related violence in Utah
schools has provided an additional layer of protection for students
and staff statewide," said Chet
Linton, CEO of Aegix. "We look forward to the continued
success of our partnership."
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 center, which is staffed 24/7/365 by specially
trained military and law enforcement veterans. If these experts
determine that the threat is valid, they dispatch alerts and
actionable intelligence — including visual description, gun type,
and last known location — to local law enforcement and RTC staff as
quickly as 3 to 5 seconds from detection.
"Amidst the national rise in gun violence, schools shouldn't
have to compromise on safety due to financial constraints," said
Mike Lahiff, CEO of ZeroEyes. "We
are extremely proud of our partnership with Aegix, which has
enabled schools throughout Utah to
afford our life-saving gun detection and situational awareness
solution."
