The Window Between Display and Violence Is Measurable. AI Closes It.

Within gun violence data lies a critical operational insight for security professionals:

● 58% of active shooters exhibited predatory behaviors, considering, planning, and preparing for violence in ways that produced observable warning signs before the attack occurred. (FBI 2024 Active Shooter Report) ● According to Active Shooter Prevention Project, 51% of mass shootings happened in businesses, 35% in open spaces, 14% in schools, universities and places of worship.

These are not just statistics. They are the operational case for AI-powered gun detection. In the majority of attacks, the weapon becomes visible before or during the first moments of violence, creating a detection window that AI is specifically engineered to act within. The question is whether your security infrastructure can see it in time.

How Scylla Gun Detection Works

Checklist icon
Scylla processes live video from every connected camera simultaneously 24/7, evaluating both the visual features of an object and how it is being handled. Effective across challenging real-world conditions: moving backgrounds, crowded environments, variable lighting, and multiple camera types including fixed, PTZ, mobile, and drone-mounted cameras.
Checklist icon
Built on ScyllaNet, Scylla's proprietary deep learning framework, the Scylla Gun Detection system classifies small firearms (pistols, revolvers) and larger firearms (rifles, assault rifles, shotguns) with an ultra-low false positive rate of less than 0.1 alerts per camera per day.
Checklist icon
Detection processing begins at as little as 100ms of video input. Confirmed detections are immediately delivered with camera location, timestamp, and a captured image via the Alarm Hub dashboard, mobile app, SMS, email, or integrated alarm system.

Flexible webhooks enable automatic responses including alarm activation, door lock commands, and law enforcement notification.
