Omnilert, a provider of active shooter and emergency communication solutions, has integrated its active shooter solution, Omnilert Gun Detect, into Milestone Systems’ XProtect video management software (VMS) to provide an integrated, end-to-end solution for gun threat detection, emergency notification and crisis management. Powered by artificial intelligence, Omnilert Gun Detect combines early visual detection, mass communication and automated response.  Once a gun detection is verified, multi-channel alerts and automated safety protocols are triggered with XProtect actions and/or with Omnilert Gun Detect within seconds of a gun being detected.

“There are 70+ million security cameras in the U.S. today that can be transformed by adding visual AI capabilities that can identify active shooters as soon as a gun is drawn,” said Dave Fraser, CEO of Omnilert.  “Adding the ability to detect, notify and manage these crisis events can easily extend a company’s existing investment into video surveillance and should be a top priority for Milestone’s customers including those in education, public transportation, retail and government that have existing IP-based cameras waiting to be empowered.”
