Cloud-based Gunshot Detection
Improve response times and help save lives through fast, accurate and reliable detection through a single sensor.Better awareness, better response, better results
Did you know?
In 2024, there were more than 500 mass shootings in the U.S.*

Detect with confidence. Identify with certainty that a gunshot has been detected with the highest detection rate and lowest false alert rates compared to other systems.

Know in time to save lives thanks to the fastest detection-to-alerting ratio on the market. Get critical incident data to 911 faster to reduce response times.

Performance validated by third-party experts helps you choose with confidence.

Protect your data, your network and your people. No audio leaves the sensor, and the system collects no PII. Software has been vetted by the top experts in cyber and network security, including Fortune 10 organizations.

Enable your existing security assets and expand situational awareness. Over 50 certified IP integrations and the flexibility of relay integrations allow for endless possibilities to fit your needs.

Built for organizations of all sizes, the system is scalable from one to thousands of sensors – proven by large customers that manage multiple gunshot detection installed locations in one interface.

The PoE sensor can be networked to a PoE switch or directly to the local network for easy integration. SDS Cloud gunshot detection systems can also be integrated with a wide range of security technologies to enhance situational awareness and response during active shooter incidents, including:
- Video Management Systems (VMS): Automatically trigger live video streams and incident recording.
- Access Control Systems: Automate locking and unlocking of doors to control building access.
- Mass Notification Systems: Send alerts via SMS, email, desktop pop-ups, and public address systems.
- Emergency Lighting and Signage: Activate emergency lights and digital signage to guide occupants to safety.
- Public Safety Systems: Provide real-time data to law enforcement and first responders.
- Voice/Public Announcements: Public announcement systems can broadcast safety instructions, inform the public and guide them to safety.
