Alarm.com Adding Gunshot Detection to Security Solutions, Acquires Shooter Detection Systems
Alarm.com has acquired Shooter Detection Systems, a provider of indoor gunshot detection technology. SDS was founded in 2013 to address the growing active shooter threat to the public by advancing military gunshot detection technology. SDS developed the Guardian Indoor Active Shooter Detection System, a combination of acoustic and infrared sensors and proprietary algorithms that detects gunshots and communicates shooting incident details to building occupants and security teams. The acquisition of SDS expands the commercial solutions offered by Alarm.com and helps its partners outfit commercial and enterprise customers with a gunshot detection solution.
SDS technology is integrated with video, access control, mass notification and alarm systems to provide situational awareness during shooting incidents. The combination of SDS technology with Alarm.com’s suite of interactive cloud-based video, access control, intrusion and automation will deliver new levels of safety and security for commercial enterprises of all sizes.
