THE CHALLENGE
Public safety is a top priority for communities worldwide, and identifying threats quickly to ensure a rapid response is essential to mitigating risk. However, it inherently falls on the public to report these threats, and false alarms can divert teams from the areas where they’re needed most. When lives are on the line, every second counts.
ITRON APPROACH
Itron’s
gunshot detection solution, developed by our
industry-leading partner, utilizes an array of smart sensors to listen for acoustic anomalies. Machine learning determines the precise location and type of threat ranging from small handguns to high caliber rifles, while eliminating all echoes, bounces and false detections. These sensors can be discreetly mounted on buildings and poles or embedded into streetlight fixtures.
BENEFITS
- Immediately identify gunshots and other public safety threats
- Localize threats with pinpoint precision
- Collect documentary evidence
- Accelerate emergency response
- Enhance public safety
