The AmberBox detectors use tri-factor authentication with percussion, infrared and machine learning sound to detect gunshots. Utilizing this combination mitigates false positives. The system also does not need line of sight to the shooter to detect, a major advantage that maximizes coverage.
AmberBox can detect all common types of firearm used in active shooter scenarios.
Detectors only need 12-48V DC power, and can be daisy chained to minimize wiring. Due to their light weight (less than 0.5lbs) devices can easily be mounted directly onto ceiling tiles or walls. Detectors connect to each other and the gateway over a wireless mesh, meaning no Category-6 ethernet cabling is required to each detector.
Detectors connect to a gateway wirelessly over a mesh network to send the alert message, and do not need individual data connections. The gateway can be connected into the client network or an AmberBox cellular connection. This means that no IT involvement is required.
