Compare Athena Security vs. Guardian Indoor Active Shooter Detection System

When Athena detects an elevated temperature, it promptly issues alerts to the appropriate officials. By partnering with various software companies specializing in VMS, access control, and office management, Athena consolidates all necessary information into one accessible platform. The system incorporates top-tier hardware from trusted brands like Apple, Dell, and Texas Instruments to ensure optimal performance. Developed by experts holding PhDs in deep learning and computer vision, our neural networks are designed from the ground up. Our hardware leverages advanced thermal cameras to accurately sense temperature variations, supplemented by the HSRP (blackbody) device to account for changes in the surrounding environment. Athena can be set up as a standalone solution, as part of an enterprise cloud, or integrated with an on-premise server. The enterprise version of Athena is designed for immediate deployment; it functions as a plug-and-play system that self-calibrates and configures, eliminating the need for manual operation after initial setup. This not only enhances efficiency but also significantly reduces the likelihood of human error during installation and operation.

The use of Acoustic and Infrared validation ensures ZERO false alerts during critical moments when every second matters. By processing all gunshot data within the sensor and eliminating the need for human involvement, the likelihood of errors and subsequent delays is significantly minimized. Alerts are generated in under one second, accompanied by precise shot detection locations to facilitate prompt and informed responses. Additionally, a detailed floor plan map of the facility provides audible and visual information regarding the location of shots. Recipients receive instant notifications via SMS and email, ensuring they are promptly informed. The system can be flush mounted into wallboard or ceiling tiles, or placed in a surface mount box suitable for concrete and brick structures, with options available for color matching. Proudly manufactured in the U.S.A., the device undergoes rigorous testing and adheres to strict quality control standards. It features a built-in self-test capability, regular heartbeat messages, and instant maintenance alerts, along with a patented handheld testing device for added convenience. Furthermore, it can simulate shots and trigger integrated responses during active shooter drills. The Guardian system not only detects gunfire but also conveys this critical information in real-time through a floor plan map, complete with shot locations and multiple notification methods like text and email, ensuring that everyone is kept in the loop. This comprehensive approach enhances safety and preparedness in emergency situations.
