What Omnilert is
A security system, not a monitoring widget. It watches camera feeds for suspected firearms, sends anything it flags to a human reviewer, and only then triggers alarms and emergency notifications.
The verification step is deliberate, since a false alarm triggers real emergency responses.
What you can do with it
- Add detection to existing cameras
- Route flags to a monitoring team for verification
- Trigger alarms and emergency notifications
- Connect to access control or lockdown automation
- Keep an incident record
- Cover entrances, campuses and parks
Who it is for
- Schools and universities
- Corporate campuses
- Public institutions
- Security teams with existing camera networks
What to watch out for
- Deployment needs camera coverage review, false alarm handling, verification responsibilities, privacy notices and local regulatory checks
- False positives carry real costs, including unnecessary emergency response
- Continuous video monitoring raises significant privacy obligations, and notice is usually required
- It does not replace emergency services or a trained security team
