ZeroEyes - Experts & Thought Leaders

ZeroEyes, the creators of the first AI-based gun detection video analytics platform to earn the US Department of Homeland Security SAFETY Act Designation, announced that its proactive gun detection and intelligent situational awareness solution has been deployed at Scott County R-IV School District in Benton, Missouri, to mitigate gun-related violence. The deployment was facilitated by Freedom Security, a local security provider serving the greater Missouri Area. Robust security upgrades Located in a rural community near the borders of Illinois and Kentucky, Scott County R-IV School District consists of a single campus with three interconnected buildings serving students from pre-K through 12th grade.  The district educates approximately 800 students annually and employs around 125 teachers and administrators. ZeroEyes is the newest addition to the district's robust security upgrades, which include window tints, HAVEN locks, integrations with CrisisGo, and more. Digital security cameras ZeroEyes’ AI gun detection and intelligent situational awareness software layer onto existing cameras ZeroEyes’ AI gun detection and intelligent situational awareness software layer onto existing digital security cameras. If a gun is identified, images are instantly shared with the ZeroEyes Operations Centre (ZOC), the industry’s only U.S.-based, fully in-house operation centre, which is staffed 24/7/365 by specially trained U.S. 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 school administration as quickly as 3 to 5 seconds from detection. ZeroEyes safety strategy “ZeroEyes is not intrusive or invasive, and it does more than just detect; it alerts, responds, and continues to do so throughout any situation involving a potential threat,” said Dr. Bradley Kolwyck, Superintendent of Scott County R-IV School District. “This technology is the final piece we needed to ensure every layer of our safety strategy is connected, enabling us to provide the safest environment possible.” ZeroEyes deployment ZeroEyes and the district are hosting a Lunch & Learn session at 11:00 am at the Scott County ZeroEyes and the district are hosting a Lunch & Learn session at 11:00 am at the Scott County R-IV District Office (4035 State Highway 77, Benton, MO).  It will feature demonstrations and discussion sessions, including reflections from school pioneers on the district’s successful ZeroEyes deployment. The event is open to local schools, law enforcement, and media. ZeroEyes’ innovation and protection  “I commend Scott County R-IV School District for taking the initiative to lean into innovation and proactively protect its students from gun-related violence,” said Mike Lahiff, CEO and cofounder of ZeroEyes. “ZeroEyes’ ability to provide first responders and law enforcement with advance warning and situational awareness empowers them to act quickly and save lives.”

ZeroEyes, the creators of the first AI-based gun detection video analytics platform to earn the full US Department of Homeland Security SAFETY Act Designation, announced that its technology has been deployed at East Hill Synagogue in Englewood, New Jersey, to proactively address gun-related threats. East Hill Synagogue is a 20+ year-old house of worship serving a diverse community of Modern Orthodox Jews, offering Shabbat and holiday prayer services, adult education and family activities. Proactive security measures ZeroEyes is one of multiple solutions in East Hill’s multi-layered security approach ZeroEyes is one of multiple solutions in East Hill’s multi-layered security approach, enabling members to participate in religious activities without fear or distraction. Anti-Semitic attacks have reached new levels in the past 18 months, with the Anti-Defamation League reporting that the U.S. has seen a 200% increase in hate crimes. This concerning fact highlights the need for increased proactive security measures to protect congregants during worship services and other events. Overall security initiative “Jewish law dictates that preserving (saving) life is a top priority, and we take that quite literally at East Hill Synagogue; safety is our top priority,” said Jonathan Blinken, Directory of Security, East Hill Synagogue. “ZeroEyes is one of the most important layers that we have in our overall security initiative. It is an extremely powerful tool to help us protect those that we love, our institutions and everyone that comes to visit them.” Digital security cameras ZeroEyes' AI gun detection and awareness software layers onto existing digital security cameras ZeroEyes' AI gun detection and intelligent situational awareness software layers onto existing digital security cameras.

ZeroEyes to safeguard from gun-related threats "Every individual has the right to safety in their place of worship, and it’s deeply troubling when violence threatens that sense of peace," said Mike Lahiff, CEO and co-founder of ZeroEyes. "We thank East Hill Synagogue for trusting ZeroEyes to safeguard their congregation from gun-related threats, ensuring their community remains secure and welcoming."

ZeroEyes, the creators of the first AI-based gun detection video analytics platform to earn the full U.S. Department of Homeland Security SAFETY Act Designation. Has announced that its gun detection and intelligent situational awareness platform has been deployed at Calhan School District (CSD) in Calhan, Colorado. The proactive security technology has been integrated to protect students, staff and visitors at all of the district’s schools. Proactive threat detection The ZeroEyes Gun Violence Research Center has recorded more than 120 gun-related incidents in the state of Colorado In the past year, the ZeroEyes Gun Violence Research Center has recorded more than 120 gun-related incidents in the state of Colorado. Recognising the rising threat of violence, the district has integrated ZeroEyes' AI gun detection system into its existing security cameras to quickly identify illegally brandished guns and reduce response times in the event of a threat. It is the latest addition to CSD’s multi-layered security plan, which also includes a school security officer with 23 years of law enforcement experience. “While we are incredibly fortunate to have a close partnership with our local law enforcement, we know that in situations where every second counts, technology like ZeroEyes can make all the difference,” said Dr. Donovan Mitchell, Superintendent of CSD. “Our goal is to ensure teachers can teach and students can learn without worrying about their safety. We hope we never face a gun-related threat on our campus, but if we do, we want to have as many systems in place as possible to combat it—and ZeroEyes is a key part of that.” District overview CSD is a highly rated public school system located approximately 30 miles east of Colorado Springs. The small rural district includes an elementary, middle and high school, which together serve approximately 430 students from pre-K through 12th grade. With a dedicated 90-member faculty and staff, the district is committed to providing a supportive and enriching learning environment. Calhan's mission is to offer students unlimited opportunities to succeed, empowering them to achieve their full potential. Smart surveillance integration ZeroEyes' AI gun detection and intelligent situational awareness software layers onto Calhan’s existing digital security cameras. If a gun is identified, images are instantly shared with the ZeroEyes Operations Center, the industry's only U.S.-based, fully in-house operation center, which is staffed 24/7/365 by 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 first responders and local staff as quickly as 3 to 5 seconds from detection. Swift threat response “Calhan School District’s commitment to safety is a powerful example for schools across the country,” said Mike Lahiff, CEO and co-founder of ZeroEyes. “We believe this integration will greatly enhance their ability to respond to gun-related threats swiftly and effectively, and we are honored that CSD has placed their trust in us to help protect their community.”
