SENTRI by Safety Dynamics is an acoustic smart sensor that recognizes gunshots and explosions and sends range and bearing details to powerful pan/tilt/zoom video cameras that can locate the source of the event (confirmed to +/- 1 degree) while immediately signaling the local police department and auto lock down the campus.
The SENTRI system employs a gunshot detection approach based on neurobiological principles of brain signal processing, allowing accurate pattern recognition of acoustic gunshot signals even in the presence of high noise.
Safety Dynamics has trained the neural networks that serve as part of the recognition functions to detect various calibers of gunshot and to ignore other loud noises thus virtually eliminating all false alarms, and will zero the camera sensor immediately on the shooter.
The system has been offering law enforcement and military users a powerful tool to make arrests in gun crimes for years and now the technology is available for all types of facilities, from government buildings and institutions like schools/ universities to private establishments such as night clubs/ bars and concert venues.
