A NYC company is using Artificial Intelligence to instantly allow security cameras to detect weapons and other threats. Thousands are now in use.
A Manhattan company is using AI to help security cameras to quickly alert people to possible threats.It's just a simulation, but it feels real, as the employee carrying out the demonstration inside Actuate offices in Midtown Manhattan walks in carrying a mock AR-15 rifle.
"As you can see it's pulsing green within about a second or two. That means an alert has been registered," says Actuate CEO and co-Founder Sonny Tai. "Our AI model has made a detection and sent an alert to video management systems." After the Las Vegas shooting in 20017, Tai who is a former captain in the US Marine Corps, surveyed law enforcement agencies across the country asking what could be done.
It could be at a used car lot or construction site at night with cameras programmed to notify when a suspicious person walks near a fence.Ellie walks into an office carrying a gun, after it's detected, a notification is sent to security teams or anyone watching a bank of monitors. Alerting them as to when and where the threat is unfolding.
