The 3 Costly Myths Putting Your Security at Risk

GGG_3 myth placeholder image_cropped

 

Myth #1: The Inaccuracy Myth

They Say: "Gunshot detection can't tell the difference between gunfire and fireworks."
The Truth: With Acoem's 30+ years of acoustic expertise, you can trust the quality of detection.
While legacy systems rely on simple loud-noise thresholds, Acoem uses a 96-attribute acoustic intelligence engine to analyze the full anatomy of a sound. We distinguish true threats from environmental noise with elite precision.

 

Myth #2: The Mesh Network (Triangulation) Myth  

They Say: "You need a massive mesh network to track a shot."
The Truth: You don't need a complex web of devices to triangulate a location. A single ATD sensor uses edge-processing to detect, classify, and localize a threat instantly within a 500 ft radius.
This provides real-time awareness and triggers PTZ cameras for immediate visual confirmation—without the latency of legacy triangulation.

 

Myth #3 The Inflexibility Myth

They Say: "Gunshot detection requires permanent installation, minimums, and expensive contracts."
The Truth: Risk moves, so your security should too. Modern systems like ATD offer total operational flexibility.
Because our sensors are independent and edge-processed, they are suited for either permanent installation or mobile deployment. Unlike legacy providers, you own the hardware and aren’t locked into rigid, long-term contracts.
