Featuring military-grade, edge-processed acoustic threat detection with seamless integration to popular VMS and PTZ cameras
At ISC-West, booth #7041, Acoem, a global leader in advanced physical security solutions, will unveil its next-generation gunshot detection system. Acoem ATD (Acoustic Threat Detection) technology is designed for security professionals, law enforcement agencies, and critical infrastructure operators who require a data-driven gunshot detection solution that delivers unparalleled speed, accuracy, and scalability—without the need for multiple sensors.
By processing events on the edge (within the sensor), a single ATD-300 sensor, combined with Acoem’s Cadence™ software, provides instantaneous camera slewing toward detected threats, enhancing situational awareness for security teams. The system’s edge-processed AI analytics continuously learn from the environment, reducing false positives and ensuring precise threat localization. Unlike other gunshot detection systems that rely on multiple sensors or cloud-based processing, Acoem ATD conducts real-time threat detection and classification directly on the edge, enabling faster and more reliable alerts.
“Gunshot detection systems are not all the same. With our 30-year history of innovation and battle-proven defense applications, we have continually evolved our acoustic threat detection capabilities,” said Timothy English, Managing Director at Acoem ATD. “The AI-driven neural network is trained with threat data collected over decades and allows us to continually refine sensor responses for each unique environment, enabling the system to keep improving over time.”
Setting a New Standard in Gunshot Detection
Unlike competitors that depend on multi-sensor triangulation and backend processing, Acoem ATD technology detects both the muzzle blast and the ballistic sound wave of a bullet in motion, allowing detection and location from a single sensor to ensure instant alerts and faster response times. The ATD-300 sensor outperforms existing solutions that require large-scale infrastructure, offering a more efficient, cost-effective solution for protecting high-risk environments such as stadiums, smart cities, campuses, and critical infrastructure sites.
“Since 1995, our threat surveillance and detection solutions have been deployed to the world’s most challenging and demanding combat environments, earning the trust of operators for their accuracy and reliability. This battle-proven technology became the foundation for our advanced threat detection systems designed for civilian applications. Today, we empower law enforcement agencies and security professionals with cutting-edge tools to enhance public safety, providing a new level of situational awareness in responding to incidents of gun violence,” adds English.
Acoem ATD Key Differentiators:
- Single-Sensor Deployment:Many gunshot detection systems require multiple sensors for triangulation. The ATD-300 provides accurate threat detection with a single device, allowing for greater deployment flexibility.
- Immediate Camera Slewing:Security teams gain real-time visual confirmation as PTZ cameras are instantly directed toward the source of gunfire.
- Scalability & Flexibility: The system supports small-scale deployments and can be expanded as needed. Sensors can be strategically installed on trailers or inside the perimeters of monitored areas.
- Seamless Integration: Acoem’s ADT technology integrates effortlessly with leading video management systems (VMS) and existing security infrastructure, minimizing deployment costs and complexity.
ISC West attendees are invited to visit booth #7041 to view a demonstration of Acoustic Threat Detection in action.
