Gun Detection
Gun Detection is an AI-powered video surveillance solution that identifies handguns, rifles, and knives directly from existing CCTV and IP cameras. From office buildings and educational facilities to stadiums and public spaces, this module delivers instant armed threat alerts, reduces security response times, and creates an audited log of all detection events — with no need to replace existing infrastructure.
Key Advantages
Multi-class detection — simultaneously identifies handguns, rifles, and knives within the same frame, with independent categorization and a confidence score per object
Scalable architecture — flexible deployment from a single camera to surveillance networks spanning hundreds of points across multiple buildings or cities
Cloud & edge analytics — choose local GPU processing for minimum latency and offline operation, or cloud processing for centralized management and long-term storage
Native VMS integration — operates as a plugin within existing Milestone, Genetec, Nx Witness, Avigilon, or VMS Vezha installations without replacing hardware
Actionable alerts & logs — every confirmed detection generates an immediate notification with timestamp, camera ID, weapon category, and captured frame, exportable as PDF or CSV
Real-world reliability — consistent performance indoors and outdoors, in low-light conditions, across varying camera angles, and in high-density crowd scenes
How It Works
Live Video Input
Existing CCTV and IP cameras continuously stream video to the VEZHA platform - no hardware upgrades or new installations required.
AI Weapon Detection
The AI model analyzes each video frame in real time, scanning for visual signatures of pistols, rifles and knives with high precision.
Threat Classification
Detected objects are classified by weapon category and cross-referenced against configurable rules to distinguish genuine threats from harmless everyday items.
Automated Alerting
Upon confirmed weapon detection, the system immediately triggers alarms, sends notifications and logs the event with timestamp, camera ID and weapon type.
Works With Your Existing Stack
Deploy alongside your current cameras, hardware, and VMS - no forklift upgrade required.
IP Cameras
Any ONVIF / RTSP stream
VMS Platforms
Native plugin & SDK support
Edge Hardware
GPU-accelerated inference
What is a modern weapon detection system?
A modern weapon detection system combines computer vision, state-of-the-art neural networks, and an alert management layer to turn ordinary camera feeds into real-time detections of dangerous objects, weapon type classifications, and automatic notifications to security teams.
- AI computer vision detects and classifies weapons regardless of angle, focal length, or lighting conditions.
- Configurable rules allow sensitivity thresholds and detection zones to be adapted to the specific environment of each installation.
- VMS and access control integration enables a detection to automatically trigger door lockdowns, activate sirens, or send notifications directly to emergency services.
After testing it across multiple facility types, our team found that systems based on modern neural networks significantly outperform conventional motion detectors and traditional video analytics systems in crowded scenes and with unfavorable camera angles.
Directions
Safe City
Monitor squares, public transport stations, shopping streets, and large outdoor events. Detect armed threats before they escalate and coordinate law enforcement response with automatic camera-geolocated alerts.
Education
Protect schools, high schools, and university campuses with continuous surveillance at entrances, corridors, and common areas. Immediate alerts allow lockdown protocols to be activated and emergency services notified within seconds.
Public Transportation
Deploy detection at metro stations, airports, bus terminals, and train platforms. Reduce incident response times and improve passenger safety perception without increasing the number of on-site agents.
Corporate Buildings & Offices
Add a weapon detection layer to existing access control systems. Combine Gun Detection with facial recognition or card readers to create a complete perimeter security protocol.
Retail
Protect customers and staff in large stores, shopping malls, and high-traffic retail environments. Event logs with captured frames facilitate collaboration with authorities in the event of an incident.
Private Property
Control access to industrial estates, warehouses, and closed facilities. Detect the presence of weapons in restricted areas and trigger automatic responses such as door lockdowns or security staff alerts.
