    –
    Advanced Network Devices (ANetD), the leading maker of IP endpoint devices for mass notification systems, is proud to announce its latest security offering for education facilities, Vigilar GSD. As of May 31, 2023, new customers purchasing ANetD IP speakers or displays can further safeguard their facility by adding on Vigilar GSD gunshot detection technology. 

    Now more than ever, educational facilities throughout the United States are facing safety and security concerns surrounding gun violence, with the gnawing fear in every teacher, parent, and student continuing to grow with each horrific incident. It is imperative that school districts and campuses have not only an emergency response plan in place but also technology that can instantly detect and notify first responders within seconds of a fired gunshot. Vigilar GSD is designed to do just that. Vigilar GSD leverages the network of ANetD IP speakers and displays, having built-in sensors and installed in numbers throughout a building, to detect and localize a gunshot, then send an audio verification recording to a designated building administrator. Once a gunshot is verified, an administrator can take action including building lockdown and notification of law enforcement through a Vigilar GSD integration partner software such as Singlewire‘s InformaCast Fusion. Every second counts during an active shooter emergency. Vigilar GSD provides nearly 100% accuracy in the detection of a gunshot so as to eliminate guesswork and streamline the involvement of first responders upon their arrival at the scene. 

    “Vigilar GSD really takes advantage of how our endpoints are installed within a facility. They’re used for everything from paging and intercom to broadcasting of emergency communications and they’re installed everywhere. It just makes sense for our customers to add a feature that truly benefits from this endpoint coverage and that adds an important layer of protection to the facility,” said Abel Juarez, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Advanced Network Devices.

    Vigilar GSD was designed by experts in machine learning at Advanced Network Devices’ parent company Digital Design Corporation (DDC). DDC is an engineering consulting and technology company with expertise in developing life-protection technology for the U.S. military. This expertise has been leveraged to develop and integrate Vigilar GSD into Advanced Network Devices IP speakers and displays, which provide an all-in-one solution for paging, intercom, and mass notification alerts in both audible and visual formats.

    IRVING, Texas, September 27, 2022 (Newswire.com)
    –
    Twenty20 Solutions, in partnership with Acoem USA, has announced the addition of Active Shooter Location Identification (“ASLI”) technology to its lineup of security technology solutions. With increasing concerns about gun violence for organizations of all types and sizes, comprehensive, next-generation active shooter solutions offer significant improvements over traditional gunshot detection solutions.

    Businesses, neighborhoods, religious and educational institutions seek ways to improve security and keep people as safe as possible. This has led to the utilization of traditional gunshot detection technology – typically in the form of microphones and security cameras installed in key locations – listening for the sound of gunfire and reporting events to security officials.  However, traditional gunshot detection solutions can be limited in scope. Criticisms of such legacy technology include high instances of false positives along with the inability to collect any identifying information on the perpetrator or the firearm. In addition, legacy technology faces privacy and citizen’s rights concerns, due to the broad, non-specific responses that these solutions often trigger. Twenty20 and Acoem’s ASLI technology surpasses traditional solutions helping minimize these concerns, thanks to the addition of integrated, real-time video powered by artificial intelligence. 

    “Simply stated, ASLI allows you to better protect people, property, and assets.” notes Twenty20 CEO, Dan Vertachnik. “It’s not just the detection of gunfire which differentiates ALSI; ASLI acoustic detection technology works in tandem with video surveillance to identify shooters, distinguish between long guns and handguns, identify getaway vehicles, and potentially match a shooter to an identity via facial recognition all while helping direct potential victims away from danger. Our solution allows users to gain real-time situational awareness that can be passed on to first responders. ASLI also integrates seamlessly with access control solutions, enabling automatic lockdown of your site’s entry points, if desired. This gives you critical extra time to lock or unlock doors internally to facilitate the movement of innocent people as needed while barring or slowing active shooters. Active Shooter Location Identification plays a big role in keeping your sites safer while at the same time helping law enforcement and emergency officials in responding to active shooter situations.”

    “Acoem is excited to partner with Twenty20 solutions, and to pair our powerful military proven Acoustic Threat Detection technology with their many portable solutions.  The ability to offer “eyes” and “ears” on demand is a critical need in today’s world.  Our gunshot detection paired with Twenty20’s amazing user interface, analytics, and video monitoring will truly make communities, schools, and any monitored area more secure,” says Acoem Sales Manager Mike Arnold.
