Genetec Inc. Announces Technology Partnership With SimonsVoss
Genetec Inc. announced that it has integrated ShotSpotter gunshot detection technology from SST Inc. into its unified IP security platform, Security Center. Due to this integration, police departments and security professionals will be able to receive more actionable information, and gain rapid access and detailed location insights when a gunshot situation occurs.
ShotSpotter uses wide-area acoustic surveillance that automatically gets activated when gunfire occurs, providing comprehensive outdoor coverage on campuses and in complex urban geographies. ShotSpotter sensors and cloud-based analysis software triangulate and pinpoint the precise location of each round fired within seconds, the number of shots fired, and provide an immediate gunfire alert with an audio clip. Detailed incident data is immediately sent to SST’s Incident Review Center, a secure data processing and alert validation facility, where acoustics experts analyze the data and qualify the incident in real time 24/7. Once validated, an alert is sent directly into Security Center, all in under a minute.
