Police and law enforcement agencies around the globe are using gunshot detection systems to provide real-time information about gunfire and explosions, enabling a more effective response to gun violence and giving them a more complete picture of crime, so that they can better protect their personnel and their Seaports. Providing constant 360-degree wide-area acoustic surveillance, solutions feature built-in interoperability using standards-based communications protocols to share data across systems, roles and other agencies for a streamlined and coordinated response to all critical events. Gunshot detection systems can interface with video surveillance systems that require guidance to train individual cameras and capture video intelligence at the scene of an incident and its surroundings.
