ZeroEyes - Experts & Thought Leaders

ZeroEyes, creators of the foremost multi-analytics weapons detection and threat intelligence platform, announced a partnership with Advantech, a pioneer in security integration and controls company in the mid-Atlantic, and the Camden Police Department to deploy ZeroEyes’ AI gun detection and intelligent situational awareness platform at Delaware’s Caesar Rodney School District (CRSD). Advantech has been a partner of CRSD for 30 years, and worked closely with Camden Police Chief Marc Whitney to bring ZeroEyes to the district. Leveraging advanced tools "When I saw a ZeroEyes demonstration at an Advantech symposium, I immediately recognized it as a must-have for the school districts in my jurisdiction,” said Marc Whitney, Chief of Police, Camden Police Department. “By coordinating with the CRSD and Advantech to leverage advanced tools like this, we can respond more quickly to potential threats and ensure a secure learning environment for everyone." Layer of protection to CRSD's safety program The district spans 107 square miles in central Kent County and serves 8,259 students across 15 schools. It is adding ZeroEyes to a multilayered security approach that also includes CEIA metal detectors, the Milestone Video Management solution, armed constables at the high school and middle school, and a Delaware State Trooper on campus.  The district also works closely with the Camden Police Department to ensure a safe, seamless experience for students, staff, and families. The adoption of ZeroEyes' AI gun detection technology at Caesar Rodney High School, Fred Fifer III Middle School, and Nellie Hughes Stokes Elementary School adds another critical layer of protection to CRSD’s safety program. "Student safety is our top priority, and we are committed to using every tool available to protect our schools,” said Mark Gaglione, Caesar Rodney School District Safety and Security Coordinator. “Deploying ZeroEyes enhances our multilayered security approach, giving our staff and students greater peace of mind each day." Software details ZeroEyes' AI gun detection and intelligent situational awareness software layers onto existing digital security cameras. If a gun is identified, images are instantly shared with the ZeroEyes Operations Center (ZOC), the industry's only U.S.-based, fully in-house operation center, which is staffed 24/7/365 by specially trained U.S. military and law enforcement veterans.  If these experts determine the threat is valid, they dispatch alerts and actionable intelligence — including visual description, gun type, and last known location — to law enforcement and local security teams, often in a matter of seconds from the moment a gun is detected. Authority comments "We’re proud to partner with Advantech and the Camden Police Department to bring our solution to Caesar Rodney School District,” said Mike Lahiff, CEO and co-founder of ZeroEyes. "Advantech’s expertise in evaluating and applying technology to best support their customers is remarkable, and I’m proud that they trust ZeroEyes to help keep schools safe." “We are excited to highlight the collaboration between Camden PD and Caesar Rodney SD in delivering a solution that strengthens a layered approach to student safety,” said Ryne Johnson, Account Manager, Advantech. “This achievement reflects the coordinated leadership of Chief Whitney and would not have been possible without that unified effort. The project underscores the importance of strong partnerships and the use of advanced technology to support proactive responses in security situations.”

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 now that Ki Charter has expanded its contract following initial success. ZeroEyes’ proactive gun detection and intelligent situational awareness solution will now be deployed across the school’s San Marcos campus. Largest residential treatment center Ki Charter is the premier educational provider for students who reside in residential facilities (RFs) and day centers across Texas. The school serves over 6,500 students annually (500% mobility rate) with a dedicated team of educators and staff. The San Marcos campus is located within the 65-acre San Marcos Treatment Center, the largest residential treatment center in Texas.  The center houses approximately 200 residents (and community students) who attend Ki Charter, and employs 425 staff members, including 50 from Ki and 375 from the San Marcos Treatment Center. Level of real-time awareness “At Ki Charter, we serve a unique population of behaviorally challenged students, so our approach to security has to be comprehensive, proactive, and intentional,” said Dr. Jerry Lager, Superintendent of Ki Charter. “Our Safety and Security Committee, campus teams, mental health staff, and local law enforcement all play a role in preventing and de-escalating potential threats, but ZeroEyes added a level of real-time awareness we simply didn’t have before. After seeing how effective the technology was, expanding its use was an easy decision.” ZeroEyes' AI gun detection ZeroEyes' AI gun detection and intelligent situational awareness software layers onto existing digital security cameras. If a gun is identified, images are instantly shared with the ZeroEyes Operations Center (ZOC), the industry's only U.S.-based, fully in-house operation center, which is staffed 24/7/365 by specially trained U.S. military and law enforcement veterans. If these experts determine the threat is valid, they dispatch alerts and actionable intelligence — including visual description, gun type, and last known location — to law enforcement and local security teams as quickly as 3 to 5 seconds from detection. Multi-layered safety program “Ki Charter has built a thoughtful, multi-layered safety program, and we’re proud to continue to play a role in strengthening it,” said Mike Lahiff, CEO and cofounder of ZeroEyes. “Their leadership is deeply committed to protecting students and staff, and this expansion proves that they understand that proactive security is essential on a campus of this size and complexity.”

ZE Government Solutions (ZEGS), a wholly owned subsidiary of AI-based gun detection pioneer ZeroEyes, launched ZeroEyes Aerial Detection Kit (ZAD), a portable, drone-based AI threat detection and intelligent situational awareness solution designed for public safety agencies.  The kit provides operators with a stand-alone drone solution that can be deployed in minutes from agencies' existing drone platforms to detect firearms, people, vehicles, drones, and maritime vessels. Rapid integration with drones Outdoor spaces are among the most challenging environments to protect due to their size and open nature, leaving them vulnerable to unauthorized access and potential gun-related violence. ZeroEyes Aerial Detection addresses this critical need with layered advanced AI analytics that detect threats in real time through a drone's live camera feed. To provide confidence and situational awareness, detections can be viewed instantly by law enforcement or security personnel and dispatched immediately to on-site staff when detections are made. Rapid integration with drones ensures that first responders or federal agencies are quickly informed of on-scene security threats, allowing for appropriate response posture to the current situation. ZeroEyes Aerial Detection Kit The kit enhances drone operations for a variety of scenarios, including drone response, event and perimeter security, armed assailants, suspect and article searches, barricaded gunmen, hostage situations, and domestic disputes. Providing immediate detections and alerting improves law enforcement situational awareness and personnel safety. ZeroEyes Aerial Detection Kit integrates seamlessly with existing drones and drone programs, and comes equipped with a carry-on case and a ZeroEyes laptop to stream video and deliver automated alerts to dispatch or operations centers via LTE, Wi-Fi, or mesh radio. It connects to drone feeds or controllers through HDMI, IP address, RTSP or Headsets, and is compliant with the National Defense Authorization Act and protected by DHS SAFETY Act designation. New drone solution “Protecting outdoor spaces is one of the greatest challenges in security today,” said Dustin Kisling, Executive Vice President of ZE Government Solutions. “With our new drone solution, we can detect potential threats in real time and provide verified alerts, giving organizations and the public the confidence that help is on the way when it matters most.”
