Recognized for Excellence
Accurate & Reliable
Triple-Layer Verification for Maximum Accuracy
Brivo Eagle Eye Gun Detection uses a sophisticated triple-layered architecture to provide fast, accurate, and reliable firearm identification. This process moves from local edge processing to deep cloud analysis and final human review within seconds, ensuring that only true threats trigger an emergency response.
Rapid edge AI
Our AI identifies suspected firearms locally on a bridge or CMVR in real-time to reduce latency and network congestion.
Deep cloud AI
Potential threats are cross-checked by a powerful cloud model to refine accuracy and virtually eliminate false positives.
Human verification
A trained specialist reviews the live video to confirm the threat, serving as the final human firewall who triggers and manages the alerts sent to your team.
Immediate response
Once verified, the system triggers lockdowns and notifies monitoring centers with live video for faster intervention.
Increase tenant satisfaction
Offer self-service credential enrollment and wallet badges.
Support modern reader standards
Use bluetooth and NFC readers, as well as mobile wallets.
Benefits
Why AI-Powered Gun Detection Is the Best First Line Of Defense
AI video systems provide a constant layer of protection that is never affected by divided attention or fatigue. These systems act as a proactive first line of defense, identifying brandished weapons in near real-time to trigger immediate safety protocols.
24/7 Intelligent vigilance
Unlike human observers who can be distracted, cameras monitor multiple vantage points 24 hours a day without interruption.
Reduced personal risk
AI identifies threats from a safe distance, enabling verified alerts without putting on-site staff in a position where they must confront an armed individual to report them.
Automated safety protocols
When a brandished gun is detected, the system automatically triggers lockdowns and shares live video with monitoring centers to save critical seconds.

“All of our call centers and distribution centers use Brivo today. We've been able to run a highly efficient operation by having the security team able to focus on their core responsibilities instead of managing a database.”
“Out of all of the security proposals we saw, Brivo’s cloud-based access control solution was a no-brainer. It’s intuitive to use and gets the job done well.”
Platform
Unified Defense and Emergency Lockdown Powered by AI Gun Detection
True security is more than just seeing a threat; it is about having the automated tools to stop it instantly. By unifying Gun Detection with access control and 911 Camera Sharing, you can turn a verified alert into an immediate, facility-wide lockdown.
Integrated access control
When a brandished weapon is verified, the system can automatically trigger an instant door lockdown or other security protocol to isolate the threat and protect occupants.
911 Camera Sharing
First responders receive real-time information from dispatchers based on visual context and live video feeds to improve situational awareness.
Automated response workflows
Eliminate human error by pre-configuring decisive actions, such as sounding alarms or notifying specific security personnel, the moment a gun is detected.

Does AI gun detection work with my existing security cameras?
Yes, the system is camera-agnostic and designed to work with almost any industry-standard IP or analog camera. This allows you to add proactive detection to your site without the need for expensive hardware replacements.
How is visual AI gun detection different from acoustic shot detection?
Unlike acoustic systems that react only after a shot is fired, visual AI detection identifies a brandished firearm the moment it is drawn. This proactive approach provides critical seconds to initiate lockdowns and alert authorities before violence occurs.
How does the system differentiate between a weapon and an object like a phone?
The system utilizes Triple-Layer Verification, combining two distinct AI models with a final review by a trained human specialist. This multi-stage process is specifically designed to identify brandished guns while virtually eliminating false alarms caused by common objects.
Why does AI gun detection only detect brandished weapons?
SROs (school resource officers) and other guards carry holstered firearms at all times. Some states permit legal, visible carrying of firearms. These scenarios would cause severe alert fatigue and render the system useless.
What is the typical response time from detection to law enforcement alert?
The entire verification process — from the initial AI detection on-site to the final human confirmation — takes only seconds. Once a threat is verified, alerts are sent in near real-time to your security team and can be routed to emergency dispatchers.
Is Brivo Eagle Eye Gun Detection available in my region?
Brivo Eagle Eye Gun Detection is currently available for customers located within the United States. We recommend contacting our team to discuss the specific deployment requirements for your facility.
Why are Implementation Services required for my gun detection system?
Because the performance of AI-based detection depends heavily on camera placement, lighting, and field of view, professional implementation is required for all deployments. Trained specialists work with you to verify camera angles, validate system functionality, and test your specific alert-delivery workflows to ensure maximum accuracy. This rigorous process helps eliminate false alarms and ensures that your response plan is correctly configured for an emergency.
