Add a Critical Layer of Protection & Awareness With Specialty Sensors
When it comes to the safety of your home or business, proactive measures are essential. One of the most effective tools for enhanced security is specialty security sensors & detectors. These innovative devices, such as gunshot detection systems, provide a reliable means of monitoring and protecting your property. Whether you’re concerned about workplace safety, outdoor spaces, or emergency preparedness, these systems provide a critical first line of defense.
At Custom Security Systems, we’re committed to offering solutions that help safeguard what matters most. Below, explore how our gunshot detection products and complementary sensors can elevate your security strategy.
What Is a Gunshot Detection System?
A gunshot detection system is designed to identify gunfire in real-time, ensuring rapid response during emergencies. This advanced technology works by recognizing the gunshot’s acoustic signature, and infrared technology to detect and pinpoint the location of the shots. When paired with remote monitoring, alerts are sent within seconds to first responders or security teams.
Originally developed in the 1990s for military applications, this advanced gunshot detection technology has evolved into a trusted solution for civilian safety. Today, it’s used in hospitals, schools, churches, retail spaces, and more — bringing military-grade reliability to everyday environments.
To make this life-saving technology more accessible, various grant programs and funding opportunities are available. For example, K–12 schools may qualify for exclusive discounts, helping them enhance campus security without bearing the full financial burden.
Our systems utilize gunshot detection sensors that can seamlessly integrate with other specialty security tools for comprehensive coverage. Whether installed indoors or outdoors, these devices provide peace of mind by mitigating risks and reducing response times.
How It Works
Gunshot Detection
Our gunshot detection systems utilize cutting-edge SDS gunshot sensors that combine both acoustic and infrared technology to identify gunfire with precision. It combines infrared and acoustic technologies to detect the flash and sound signatures of gunfire, achieving an impressive 99.9% accuracy in identifying gunshots across a wide range of calibers.
By confirming both the sound of the shot and the accompanying muzzle flash, this product stands out from other models by offering dual-verification technology, virtually eliminating false alarms. Unlike similar tech that often relies on a single detection method, this ensures unparalleled accuracy in high-stakes situations where every second matters.
Gunshot Response
When the gunshot signal reaches Alarm.com’s platform, alerts are sent automatically within seconds to designated mobile recipients and our Monitoring Station. These alerts include corresponding video clips, providing essential visual context to help decision-makers and first responders assess the situation. Our Monitoring Station also takes swift action by notifying local law enforcement, enabling an immediate response to the potential threat.
With this streamlined process, our gunshot detection system adds a vital layer of protection to your security setup. In high-pressure, chaotic environments, it’s common for critical information to be delayed, miscommunicated, or overlooked entirely. By removing the burden of immediate human reporting, our system ensures that accurate, actionable data is instantly relayed to first responders — improving situational awareness, accelerating response times, and ultimately helping to safeguard lives and property more effectively.
