Shooter Detection Systems integrates with Hanwha Vision
According to the companies, this integration will enable organisations to automatically alert security teams at?schools, office buildings and other facilities to gunshot activity by triggering alarms, associate live video feeds with real time tracking of assailants and take other automated actions when gunfire is detected.
This will enable customers to enhance their active shooter emergency response planning to include video capture, recording and tracking of gun violence events.
This additional situational awareness and instant automation will alert customers and their security teams to gunfire activity faster and with more accuracy, thereby reducing response time to gun violence incidents.
