Gunshot Detection and Active-Shooter Tracking Feasibility Pilot

ShotSpotter acoustic detection tied to Bosch camera estates and Genetec video management, tested against a seconds-not-minutes requirement.

Run with GraceMark Consulting, LLC and multiple technology vendors, so that a detected round could be correlated with video and a subject followed across a site rather than simply located at a point.

Each product worked on its own. The real question was whether the seams between them held under the only conditions that matter here, which are seconds rather than minutes and a subject who is moving.

Current and emerging AI analytics were assessed against that requirement, taken to industry rather than to a brochure. Unable to attend the Bosch and Genetec AI security roadshow at Kennedy Space Center in November 2023 in person, I sent interns from the practice and worked the event remotely alongside GraceMark — feeding them the questions to put to vendors and industry principals, and taking the answers back live. They got a day among industry leaders; the practice got the due diligence.

Outcome

Technical due diligence that could support a defensible no as readily as a purchase.
