We all want to feel safe, but waiting in a security line could be a frustrating experience. While standing in the queue, a little voice in your head says, ‘There must be a better way to do this.’ Metal detectors, as of now, are a solution to detect weapons. But they feel invasive, slow, and far from foolproof. It’s like we’re sacrificing our time for a system that might not even be working.
There’s a quiet shift happening. Everywhere, from schools to stores, the focus is on safety that feels seamless. At the heart of this movement is Avigilon, a company dedicated to making that idea a reality. Its concealed weapons detection (CWD) system represents a major leap forward in proactive threat prevention.
In this post, we will discuss what Avigilon’s concealed weapons detection systems are and how they are changing the game.
What is Avigilon’s Concealed Weapons Detection System?
With this AI Gun Detection system designed by Motorola Solutions, safety is now seamless. The system relies on advanced AI sensors and imaging. These two work together to detect concealed weapons instantly. This means you can move freely without stopping. You are finally free from the trade-off between security and your time and privacy.
How It Works:
The system uses a combination of technologies to detect concealed weapons and ensure accurate firearm detection.
Radar-based or millimeter-wave scanning
It uses radar-based or millimeter-wave technology to scan individuals as they pass. These signals analyze the body and the items people carry. This eliminated the need for people to stop or take any action.
Detection of shape, density, and material
The sensors evaluate shape, density, and material consistency to identify signatures that match weapons, including handheld firearms and other concealed items. This advanced method reduces false alarms and improves accuracy.
AI classification and real-time alerts
Artificial intelligence instantly classifies potential threats. Then, it quickly alerts security operators. The system allows a rapid response within seconds. This helps security personnel investigate, escalate, or initiate lockdown procedures when needed.
Integration with video analytics
The CWD system works with Motorola Solutions’ broader ecosystem, including video analytics and Avigilon Unity, to provide visual confirmation of individuals carrying weapons. This workflow helps operators identify individuals, verify confirmed threats, and take necessary action.
Features of Avigilon’s Concealed Weapons Detection System: How They’re Changing the Game
With LaMarco’s engineering support and expertise, organizations gain a fully optimized setup. This enhances real-time threat identification, strengthens on-site workflows, and delivers dependable, scalable protection. Powered and deployed through LaMarco Systems, this advanced solution ensures seamless integration, precise configuration, and consistent performance. As a result, facilities get a stronger, smarter layer of security built to meet today’s evolving challenges.
AI-Powered Threat Detection
The true strength of this system is how its AI supports human teams. Analyzing movement patterns and environmental cues helps personnel identify potential threats quickly. The AI continuously learns and receives regular updates. Therefore, it continues to grow alongside the team to ensure the safety within an area. This creates a smarter, more responsive safety net than traditional methods alone.
Real-Time Alerts and Rapid Response
When the system detects a potential threat, it sends real-time alerts directly to security operators. This immediate notification allows security personnel to respond to potential threats within seconds. They can review live video, confirm the threat, and coordinate a response through the security control centre. Whether it involves notifying on-ground teams, initiating safety protocols, or activating lockdown procedures, the CWD system enables an immediate, well-managed response.
Seamless Integration with the Avigilon Ecosystem
The system can integrate with Motorola Solutions’ video security and access control technologies. It works smoothly with video analytics, cloud services, and the Avigilon Unity system. This allows the operators to have a clear understanding of the situation. This integration also supports centralized monitoring in a security control centre. This makes it easier to oversee multiple locations.
Non-Intrusive and Efficient Screening
The traditional metal detectors feel intrusive and slow. But the CWD system provides a non-invasive screening experience. People simply walk through without pausing. No need to empty pockets, remove devices, or slow down. This smooth flow makes it ideal for high-traffic areas. Such as schools, stadiums, retail spaces, and healthcare facilities. It improves overall visitor experience while enhancing physical security.
Scalability
Built to meet you where you are, this system scales effortlessly from compact sites to sprawling complexes. Your security team has direct control. Five sensitivity levels allow precise tuning for each setting. Be it a courthouse, a stadium, or a corporate campus. It doesn’t just work in your environment; it learns to work with it.
Enhanced Privacy Protection
Avigilon’s system takes a privacy-conscious approach. It detects only the presence of concealed weapons, not personal details. It focuses strictly on security threats and firearm detection. Along with that, it also ensures that individuals’ privacy remains protected. This approach reinforces trust in environments. These include schools and healthcare facilities where privacy is essential.
Conclusion
Avigilon’s Concealed Weapons Detection System is a step towards offering the best security to people. It eliminates many weaknesses found in traditional screening tools. Some of these weaknesses include slow processing and high false-alarm rates. The system integrates with AI-driven analysis, real-time alerts, unified video management, and seamless integration across Motorola Solutions’ security technologies. This integration allows the system to provide a strong layer of protection that fits today’s dynamic safety needs.
