CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. - What if you could detect a shooting before the trigger is pulled?

That's the mission of ZeroEyes in Conshohocken, Montgomery County, an AI-based gun detection platform founded by a team of Navy SEAL veterans.

Chief Operating Officer Rob Huberty, a former SEAL himself, says the idea stemmed from the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida in 2018: "What we saw in that instance was somebody was on a security video with a gun out, exposed before a shot was ever fired, and there was an opportunity to do something about it."

The software can spot a weapon just like the human eye. It can be added to most existing camera systems.

"So to define a gun, we take pictures with guns. All different types of guns, hundreds and hundreds of guns. Different carry configurations, different distances," Huberty said. "As a human eye can tell what a gun is, our algorithm can tell what a gun is."

Once a threat is detected, the video is sent to a live team, either in Conshohoken or Hawaii, to verify.

"We have an operation center that's 24/7, 365 filled with veterans who verify alerts, so a false positive is never sent," Huberty said.

The identification process takes about three to five seconds. From there, first responders can be alerted to an exact location. The program can increase response time to somewhere between one to three minutes.

"If you can take that timeline, before shots are fired and give the location, the image of the shooter, the weapon that they're carrying, you can give law enforcement, first responders incredible time to go exactly where they need," Huberty said.

ZeroEyes is in around 30 states so far.

This, of course, will be used to oppress the average citizen eventually. Soon, cameras all over the world will see your gun and authorities will be alerted. What happens from there depends on which tyrants are in charge.

Absolutely, as long as there is electricity to power them. That I'm not as certain about. It's permanence, that is.

Ok, invasion of privacy issues aside I see another issue.

"Once a threat is detected, the video is sent to a live team, either in Conshohoken or Hawaii, to verify"

Perhaps effective if it detects a poorly concealed weapon. I would argue if the weapon is exposed and you have to send that video to a call center, verify it, then reach back out to the institution with a warning, it's too late. It's probably that location is already very aware that a weapon is in present by auditory feedback.

Sounds hi-techie and stuff. But a long coat covers a lot of guns. And my experience is the security camera systems in many places are low bid, low quality, poorly sited and unmonitored. Think how many times you saw a video on the news with cops asking for help with ID info and the video shows a vehicle. And its so awful you cant even determine a make or model? So... Meh.

This tech won't come close to competing with terahertz emitter/scanning technology in detecting firearms, among a vast number of other items. Clothing won't matter. A few more years time and efficient, cost effective THz platforms will be in the market for this type of widespread application, backed by image recognition software. Besides smaller form factors, as THz imaging moves away from single point imaging and RT analysis, the adoption should upswing.

I know that those cheap CCW badges are often made fun of, but would one clipped on right next to the pistol confuse the program?

'Cause everybody knows the mere presence of any firearm equated to 100s slaughtered in the streets?

How does said software detect intent?

Yup. That is totally bullshit, and they know it.

It appears that the developers of this technology have successfully detected a powerful money extraction technique from certain anxious-to-spend other people's money politicians.

But it has the cool factor because Ex-Seals invented it as opposed to some geeks in a basement.

Maybe they could have prevented this DEA agent from his infamous classroom AD..... if only such an AI system existed then. I mean, there was obviously a camera there, just not the AI backing it up to warn him and save the day.

Or how about the U.S.Navy Explosive Ordnance Detachment, Norfolk, Va, during President Carter's visit to commission the USSS Mississippi. Their concealed handgun sniffing dog at the pier
security checkpoint ID'd any USSS agents, police
officers, by merely putting his nose up to the site
of the concealed weapon. Funny seeing the reaction of the people so identified by the German Shepard.
