Doing Gunshot Detection The Right Way: Rethinking Speed, Simplicity, And Smarts
Gun violence can erupt without warning, and when it does, time becomes your most precious asset. The ability to detect and respond to a gunshot within seconds, ideally before panic spreads or the threat escalates, is no longer a luxury. It’s a baseline expectation for physical security. And yet, many gunshot detection systems still operate as if we’re in 2005. They rely on slow, server-heavy architecture, demand complex triangulation setups, and too often leave security teams with vague alerts or, worse, false positives that shake confidence in the system.

The Silent Threat To Video Surveillance Storage: Unrecoverable Read Errors And How To Mitigate Them
As video surveillance systems expand to cover more cameras, higher resolutions, and longer retention periods, the reliability of storage infrastructure is more critical than ever. One of the most underrated threats is the Unrecoverable Read Error (URE), which can silently corrupt or destroy archived footage. While RAID arrays remain a mainstay for active surveillance data, LTO tape offers a robust solution-not only avoiding UREs entirely but also enabling video storage for much longer periods than disk-based systems.
What Is FLIR Nexus And Why Is It Important?
Situational awareness involves understanding a given circumstance, collecting relevant information, analyzing it, and making informed decisions to address any potential risks. When applying this to perimeter security, it is common practice to see designs that fortify the perimeter; but once that alarm happens, it is uncommon to have a system that provides the continuous coverage and relevant information operators need to make an informed decision as the potential threat progress.
InfiniteVideoStorage – Affordable And User-Friendly Long-Term Video Surveillance Retention
In today’s security-conscious world, the ability to retain video surveillance footage for extended periods is crucial for investigations, compliance, and operational insights. However, traditional hard-disk-only video storage solutions often become prohibitively expensive as retention needs increase.
