Benefits at a Glance
With a ShotSpotter GLS, security users can be confident that their security system is capable of detecting both the audible and visual cues to an emerging or ongoing attack or gun-related crime. In addition, ShotSpotter GLS Solutions provide:
Real-Time Event Detection
Acoustically monitoring protected areas and events against terrorist attack, government- directed violence and violent crimes using firearms and explosives.
Accurate Situational Intelligence
Receiving detailed information about emerging incidents resulting in the kind of decision-making intelligence normally available by eyewitnesses to the attack.
More Complete Incident Picture for Safer Response
All ShotSpotter products are designed to provide
first responders with the information needed to
provide a faster and safer response.
Ease of Integration and Information Sharing
All ShotSpotter GLS systems are designed to
integrate with common operating displays, video
management, reverse 911 and public address systems
for alerting police, security, decision makers,
occupants, and visitors.
Save Lives, Lowers Costs
Using the system’s automatic alerting, incident
classification and information sharing capabilities,
less time is wasted monitoring and responding to
non-critical events. Knowing precisely where to
send emergency resources reduces the potential
for additional injury and loss of life.
Secure, Accurate Records
All event data is stored securely, preserving forensic evidence and related event information for investigations, prosecutions, and after action review.
