Gun Detection: A Serious Challenge for Security, Risk Management and Law Enforcement Personnel.
The Exigent®-GR gun detection capability is based on the latest AI technology. The technology was originally developed to detect both drones and guns, based on the concept that a larger operational space allows more reaction time
Current security camera systems require a human to identify gun threats. Even dedicated security professionals using the best camera system cannot provide 100% real-time observation. An effective, pro-active solution is needed to identify guns before they enter the building and shots are fired.
The Exigent®-GR offers that solution. Exigent-GR offers the capability to:

Exigent-GR security features include role-based login, application authentication and message encryption. Further, the Exigent-GR Application Programmer’s Interface (API) operates inside a docker container isolating the API from the rest of the system as an extra layer of security, while ensuring the software does not conflict with other required system dependencies.
Arcarithm provides required training on how to operate Exigent-GR, and how to understand the output, with onsite training available. A training manual is provided, and Arcarithm provides call center support as well.

Exigent-GR uses advanced AI computer vision to detect visible firearms in real time. When the system identifies a potential firearm, it sends a thumbnail image to authorized personnel via a secure app. The designated reviewer then assesses the alert and determines whether to escalate. No automated notifications are sent to law enforcement — a trained human always reviews the alert before any action is taken.
Exigent-GR operates in a probabilistic manner. False positive alerts are a standard characteristic of AI gun detection technology and may occur due to factors such as lighting conditions, camera angles, partial obstructions, or objects that visually resemble firearms (e.g., a high-pressure washer wand). The system's built-in human review step ensures that false positives are identified and dismissed before any escalation occurs.
Access to the Exigent-GR app is controlled by your administrator. Only personnel expressly authorized can receive alerts, ensuring that detection events remain within your designated security workflow. Proper camera placement and adequate lighting further enhance system accuracy.
Exigent-GR is designed to function as one layer within a comprehensive security program, combining AI detection speed with human judgment for reliable, actionable alerts.
