ZeroEyes Operations Centre

ZeroEyes provides AI gun detection and intelligent situational awareness software layered onto schools, hospitals, and general buildings' existing digital security cameras. If a gun is identified, images will instantly be shared with the ZeroEyes Operations Centre (ZOC), staffed 24/7/365 by specially trained U.S. military and law enforcement veterans. 

If these experts determine that the threat is valid, they will dispatch alerts and actionable intelligence, including visual description, gun type and last known location, to local staff and law enforcement in as fast as three to five seconds from detection.
