The introduction of this AI feature, with full commercialization planned for the second half of 2024, is part of Vicon’s commitment to developing cutting-edge solutions that meet the dynamic needs of our customers. This commercialization strategy allows for gathering real-world insights and refining the technology based on feedback from live environments, ensuring the delivery of a superior product experience. Current solutions on the market are generally server-based which are extremely cost prohibitive and difficult to deploy, whereas Vicon’s approach for an edge-based solution, offers a more effective alternative.
Vicon, in collaboration with its technology partners, is developing this feature to provide real-time alerts and facilitate rapid response, thereby playing a crucial role in enhancing security measures and potentially preventing violent incidents before they occur. The value of integrating gun detection technology into video surveillance systems offers significant advancements in the ability of organizations to protect their premises and the people within them, providing peace of mind in increasingly uncertain times.
"Our goal is not only to innovate but to make a meaningful contribution to public safety," said Saagar Govil, CEO of
