Intelligence Positioned for Precision
At the heart of the ATD-300’s exceptional performance lies an innovative architectural choice: the neural network is strategically positioned directly above the microphone. This isn’t a trivial design decision. By placing the processing power in such close proximity to the sound source, we minimize signal degradation and latency. This intimate integration allows for faster, more accurate analysis of incoming audio, ensuring that critical events are identified with remarkable speed and clarity. It’s about bringing the intelligence closer to the ear, eliminating the noise and focusing on the signal.
An Unmatched Vocabulary of Sound Training Samples
The accuracy of any AI-powered detection system hinges on the quality and breadth of its training data. Here, the ATD-300 truly excels. Developed from over 30-years of military acoustic expertise, the precise recognition of the acoustics of the signature of a gun (muzzle blast and ballistics) is combat-proven. Our extensive library comprises tens of thousands distinct sound samples, meticulously curated to include a comprehensive range of gunshot signatures alongside a diverse array of other environmental sounds. This vast and varied dataset ensures that the ATD-300 can differentiate critical threats from benign background noise with exceptional precision, minimizing false alarms and maximizing reliable detection.
Real-World Adaptability with Seamless Updates and Instant Deployment
The real world is dynamic, and acoustic environments can present unexpected sounds. If an unusual, previously unknown background noise emerges at a deployment site that can trigger an event recording, we can discuss this with you, and following our mutual agreement and feasibility assessment, collaborate to set up an on-site recording project. These recordings can then be used to train the neural network to recognize and filter out the new sound. This capability ensures that your sensors remain accurate and effective, even in evolving acoustic landscapes.
The ability to adapt is only as powerful as the speed at which those adaptations can be implemented. The ATD-300 boasts a seamless update mechanism that allows us to push new sound profiles and algorithm improvements to every sensor in the field instantaneously. The updates are performed remotely from our Cadence software platform, without a need to touch the physical sensor. This capability ensures that your entire network of ATD-300 sensors remains at the cutting edge, benefiting from the latest advancements and adaptations without delay or complicated manual updates. It’s about keeping your entire security ecosystem synchronized and intelligent in real-time.
Privacy-Centric Acoustic Threat Detection
Recognizing the privacy implications of “always-on” acoustic sensors – highlighted by civil liberties organizations and past incidents – the ATD Gunshot Detection System offers a distinct advantage with its event-driven approach, thus avoiding the risks associated with continuous audio capture. ATD does not stream audio or store it on a server, the system passively awaits the detection of a significant acoustic event. This detection triggers a short recording (1.5 second) and activates the sensor’s onboard processing capabilities to locate and validate the threat . This fundamental difference guarantees that everyday sounds remain unrecorded and unanalyzed, demonstrating our commitment to a privacy-centric security solution.
