Industry-Leading Platform Provides Alerts and Intelligent Situational Awareness as Quickly as 3-5 Seconds From Detection

PHILADELPHIA, July 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ZeroEyes, the creators of the only AI-based gun detection video analytics platform that holds the US Department of Homeland Security Safety Act Designation, and Aegix Global, a Utah-based provider of industry-leading safety and personal protection resources technology, today announced that they have successfully deployed ZeroEyes' AI gun detection and situational awareness software in more than 200 Utah schools.

Save Time and Save Lives with ZeroEyes' AI Gun Detection Solution

ZeroEyes' software has been integrated into the Aegix AIM active incident management platform since spring 2023. Schools and districts that have deployed the combined solution include American Leadership Academy, American Preparatory Academy, and the school districts of Cache County, Carbon, Grand, Juab, Layton City, North Summit, South Summit, Provo, Wasatch, and Waterford School Districts, among others.

The Aegix AIM (Active Incident Management) platform cuts through chaos to remove guesswork and delays, saving precious time in an emergency. The system allows individuals in schools, businesses, and other organizations to notify first responders and colleagues about a crisis with the touch of a button. In a worst-case scenario, such as an active shooter, teachers simply push a button in the app to let administrators and first responders know if they are "safe" or "unsafe." Aegix AIM can be operated from a desktop, laptop or smartphone.

"Incorporating ZeroEyes into our AIM solution to mitigate gun-related violence in Utah schools has provided an additional layer of protection for students and staff statewide," said Chet Linton, CEO of Aegix. "We look forward to the continued success of our partnership."

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 military and law enforcement veterans. If these experts determine that the threat is valid, they dispatch alerts and actionable intelligence — including visual description, gun type, and last known location — to local law enforcement and RTC staff as quickly as 3 to 5 seconds from detection.

"Amidst the national rise in gun violence, schools shouldn't have to compromise on safety due to financial constraints," said Mike Lahiff, CEO of ZeroEyes. "We are extremely proud of our partnership with Aegix, which has enabled schools throughout Utah to afford our life-saving gun detection and situational awareness solution."
