Problem
During active shooter incidents, delays in detection and notification can significantly increase response times, leading to greater risk and potential harm. Traditional methods often rely on human reporting, which is subject to error and can be slow.
Solution
AmberBox offers an indoor gunshot detection system designed for rapid and precise identification of gunfire events. Utilizing tri-factor authentication, the system achieves detection and notification within 3.6 seconds. Upon detection, the platform automates alerts to law enforcement via an E911 certified telecommunications platform and simultaneously notifies building security personnel. By automating the emergency response process, AmberBox reduces response times by an average of 5 minutes, enabling faster intervention during active shooter situations. The cloud-based AmberBox Response Platform provides real-time data on evolving incidents, allowing users to monitor locations and track perpetrator movement.
