Weapons Detection Solutions
Weapon-related incidents are a growing concern for organizations of all kinds — from schools and hospitals to stadiums and office buildings. No environment is immune, which is why having the right plan in place matters. A layered approach that brings together people, process, and technology is one of the most effective ways to help deter and respond to potential threats.
Today’s concealed weapons and shooter detection systems give security teams powerful new tools to help identify threats earlier and act with greater confidence.
Concealed Weapons Detection
Abscso Solutions partners with both Evolv Technology and Motorola Solutions to deliver flexible, high-throughput concealed weapons detection.
At their core, Evolv Express and Motorola Solutions’ Concealed Weapons Detection (CWD) are built on the same proven screening technology. The difference lies in how they integrate—making your existing infrastructure the key factor in choosing the right solution.
Evolv Express
Evolv Express® is designed to screen people walking at their natural pace as they pass through the detectors. The system screens for a wide range of threats, including firearms, metallic weapons, and improvised explosive devices — whether under clothing and inside bags.
- Advanced sensors and AI-powered detection help identify potential threats while filtering out common everyday items like phones and keys
- Visual “red box” alerts to help pinpoint the location of potential threats on a person’s body or bag
- Screens up to 4,000 people per hour*, helping to minimize congestion and disruptions to traffic flow
- Discreet, non-intrusive design supports a welcoming and efficient entry experience
Concealed Weapons Detection and Screening System (CWD)
Motorola Solutions’ Concealed Weapons Detection and Screening System (CWD) delivers the same core detection capabilities as Evolv Express®.
It features a native integration with Avigilon Unity On-Premise, making it an ideal choice for organizations already using Avigilon’s security ecosystem.
- Alerts are sent directly into Avigilon Unity Video
- Live video feeds are automatically linked and shared with operators for faster response
- Streamlined workflows for security teams through Avigilon Orchestrate
Visible Firearm Detection
Avigilon’s Visible Firearm Detection (VFD) analytics detects people with drawn firearms.
Firearm-in-hand Detection
VFD detects handheld firearms, including handguns and long guns. It will not send alerts for firearms that are not with a person (e.g. on a table) or not in a person’s hand (e.g. on a holster or slung over the back).
Quick Notification
Operators are notified of handheld firearms within an average of 5 seconds of the active shooter being detected on a camera.
Human-in-the-loop
VFD is designed to have a human in the loop to receive, triage, and quickly act on real threats. Security operators or the central monitoring team can verify confirmed detections and send positive alerts to personnel on the ground to take appropriate actions.
Gunshot Detection
Absco Solutions partners with Shooter Detection Systems, the industry’s leading gunshot detection solutions provider. Shooter Detection Systems has been protecting schools, corporations, public venues, retail, and government buildings with indoor gunshot detection solutions since 2015, adding up to over 100 million operational hours in over 500 customer sites across the globe.
The patented gunshot detection technology has the highest level of certification from the Department of Homeland Security. It uses 2-factor acoustic and infrared flash detection to listen for a blast and watch for a muzzle flash across the entire detection area, no line of sight required.
- 99.9% detection rate, with less than one false alert per 5 million hours
- high-priority alert sent directly to the local 911 dispatch in case of a shooting
- automatically triggers other security systems, including video management and mass notification
