Frequently Asked Questions

What is Acoustic Threat Detection?

Acoem’s AI-powered ATD-300 Sensor is a gunshot detection system that was designed from inception to instantly detect, locate, and record gunshots, providing immediate audio and visual alerts through your existing PTZ camera and VMS system for immediate situational awareness. 

How does ATD send an alert?

An ATD alert can send information directly from the edge, reducing false positives and ensuring precise threat identification and localization, giving responders the ability to react immediately with maximum situation awareness for improved decision making.

How does ATD detect a threat?

ATD uses acoustic sensors and AI to analyze sound frequencies in real-time. It learns the baseline noise of the environment and triggers alerts upon detecting the unique acoustic signature of a gunshot.

Does ATD record audio at all times? How does it ensure privacy?

No, Acoem’s ATD system records a brief 1.5-second audio clip only upon detecting gunshots. Our AI filters out typical background noise, including conversations, vehicle noise, and other environmental sounds, and doesn’t allow continuous monitoring. This design prioritizes privacy and minimizes data/power use.

How many sensors do I need?

Is this proven technology?
