PHILADELPHIA — ZeroEyes announced an expansion of its artificial intelligence-based security platform, adding new threat detection and response capabilities designed to support broader safety and security operations.
In a statement, ZeroEyes said the expanded platform is now available in limited release and moves beyond firearm detection to include knife detection, real-time threat geolocation and additional security analytics.
The announcement marks a strategic shift for the company as it broadens its platform to address a wider range of security incidents and operational needs. According to ZeroEyes, the expanded system is intended to combine acute threat detection with ongoing safety and investigative capabilities.
ZeroEyes said the platform continues to rely on its computer vision technology, which the company said is deployed across thousands of buildings nationwide. The company stated that the updated platform is designed to integrate preparedness, operational awareness and investigative support into a single system.
"ZeroEyes continues to push the boundaries of what AI-powered security can deliver," said Mike Lahiff, CEO and founder of ZeroEyes. "We felt that the time was right to leverage the unmatched experience and success that we've built in AI gun detection to give our customers a comprehensive security solution that they can trust from preparation to detection to response."
For law enforcement and security professionals, the new capabilities may support faster incident assessment, improved situational awareness and more coordinated responses during critical events.
ZeroEyes said its platform is now organized into three product lines:
Secure: Includes site surveys, mapping services and the recently announced ZeroLink solution, with additional offerings in development. Detect: Uses artificial intelligence to identify guns, knives, intruders, crowds and left-behind objects. Respond: Includes real-time threat geolocation, drone-based artificial intelligence and the ZeroEyes Operations Center, with investigative analytics planned.
According to the company, the new analytics suite includes several additions intended to expand detection and monitoring capabilities.
Knife Detection uses artificial intelligence to identify blades measuring 6 inches or greater, which ZeroEyes said are most commonly associated with violent incidents. The company said the capability was developed in response to increasing demand in the United States and international markets.
The Real-time Threat Geolocation feature provides location tracking of individuals of interest across multiple camera feeds using non-biometric visual characteristics. According to ZeroEyes, the capability allows security personnel to follow an individual's movement through a facility and establish a movement timeline after an initial threat is identified.
The company also announced a General Analytics Suite that includes detection of intruders, including people, vehicles, drones and boats, along with crowd formation, abandoned objects and camera obstructions. ZeroEyes said the platform now provides real-time camera health monitoring and configurable alerts based on customer security requirements.
Founded in 2018, ZeroEyes initially focused on firearm detection for schools, churches, healthcare facilities and commercial properties. According to the company, the expanded platform reflects its effort to provide broader security monitoring and response capabilities through a unified system.
