Commercial Type No: MVC-IAA-GUN
Application-specific sound detectors designed to detect and identify target sounds from the ambient sound
Based on SoundSee, an audio technology developed by IQSIGHT
Privacy protected, as no audio needs to leave the camera
Seamless integration of audio metadata with the Intelligent Video Analytics metadata stream
Product Overview
Detect critical sounds with high accuracy
Intelligent Audio Analytics reliably identifies gunshots and T3/T4 safety alarms while ignoring common background noises to prevent false positives.
Locate incidents faster with directional tracking
The system estimates the approximate direction of the sound source, helping operators pinpoint the location of an event immediately.
Expand awareness beyond the visual field
Auditory detection provides early warnings for incidents occurring off-camera, ensuring security teams maintain continuous situational awareness.
Accelerate critical emergency response times
Real-time alerts for specific audio signatures empower personnel to verify threats and initiate protocols when every second counts.
Reduce operational friction and alarm fatigue
By filtering out irrelevant noises like slamming doors, the technology ensures operators only respond to verified, meaningful events.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the Gunshot Detector License, perpetual
The application-specific sound detector utilizes advanced AI trained to identify the discharge of over 15 different firearm calibers, including handguns and long guns. It actively filters out similar audio signatures, such as a slamming car door or a truck backfiring, to prevent false alarms and provide operators with reliable alerts.
Privacy is strictly maintained, as no audio needs to be recorded or leave the camera. The intelligence-at-the-edge concept analyzes audio signatures locally on the device to generate metadata. Only this metadata—such as the detected event, confidence level, and timestamp—is transmitted to the video management system.
The solution provides seamless integration of audio metadata with the Intelligent Video Analytics metadata stream. The audio metadata is ONVIF Profile M compliant, allowing it to easily integrate with video management systems. This enables operators to trigger extended alarm scenarios, utilize directional information to locate the source, and conduct rapid forensic searches without requiring additional servers.
Yes, the Intelligent Audio Analytics software also includes a T3 / T4 Alarm Detector. This allows the system to detect and identify internationally standardized audible emergency evacuation signals, specifically the temporal 3 pattern for smoke alarms and the temporal 4 pattern for carbon monoxide alarms, extending awareness beyond visual monitoring.
In unobstructed areas, the detection distance for firearms is approximately 75 feet (25 meters). Performance depends on ambient factors, background noise, and specific gun types. The system is designed for both indoor and outdoor applications, providing a reliable layer of awareness even when environmental conditions restrict visual monitoring.
