Combining Selected Cameras and AI


Once a potential threat is detected, a comprehensive image, highlighting the detected gun, along with live annotated video footage from the relevant camera, is transmitted to the onsite security staff, or First Reactor, positioned near the Express system.

This early warning is designed to help empower security teams to swiftly implement emergency operational procedures, like locking the doors, alerting the broader security team, and getting people to safety.

FAQs

1Do I need to have Evolv Express to use Evolv VGD?
The presence of an Express system and trained staff (“First Reactors”) to manage alerts enhances the value of your layered security approach. That said, even in the absence of Evolv Express, customers can still leverage Evolv VGD by utilizing available resources to swiftly review and respond to alerts.
2What resolution cameras are needed for Evolv VGD?
4K resolution (3840 x 2160). Lower resolution streams will likely reduce detection distance for brandished guns.
3How far away can Evolv VGD detect guns?
Expected gun detection distance is generally between 70 – 100 feet, but can vary depending on gun type, lighting, and gun orientation.
4Who can get the Evolv VGD alerts?
Evolv VGD alerts are sent directly to the Evolv VGD tablet located near the entrance to enable the First Reactors to review and respond to alerts. Additionally, the command center, broader security team, and first responders receive the same image with a recorded video clip showing when the gun appeared.
5How fast do Evolv VGD alerts get sent to users?
Evolv VGD alerts are sent swiftly to the tablet and the Mobile and Desktop apps upon the detection of a probable brandished gun.
