Shooter Detection Systems
Alarm.com has introduced a groundbreaking product designed to detect active shooters in real-time, providing an essential layer of security for any facility. This innovative technology quickly identifies potential threats, allowing for an immediate response that can save lives. In a world where safety concerns are increasingly prevalent, such advanced detection systems are vital for ensuring the protection of individuals in various environments.
Whether in schools, businesses, or public spaces, having an active shooter detection system is crucial for ensuring the well-being of those within it. This technology serves as a vital component of modern security measures, providing real-time alerts that can significantly reduce response times in critical situations. By equipping your facility with this cutting-edge technology, you not only enhance the overall safety of the environment but also send a clear message that the protection of lives is your top priority.
The Active Shooter Threat
Since 2019, the number of active shooter incidents has more than doubled, with over 70% occurring indoors. These tragic events predominantly take place in workplaces and schools, often carried out by former employees and students. The need for effective security measures has never been more urgent, as these environments are especially vulnerable to such threats.
The stakes during an active shooter event are incredibly high, with an average of one death occurring every 5 to 15 seconds. On average, these incidents last around 12.5 minutes, highlighting the critical importance of rapid detection and response. Implementing advanced security solutions can be a key factor in reducing casualties and saving lives in such dire situations.

Cellular Redundancy Ensures Rapid Response
If the internet connection experiences any disruptions, you will receive immediate notifications about the connectivity issues. Despite the interruption, our system ensures that gunshot alerts are still communicated through the cellular network, maintaining continuous protection and ensuring that critical information is always relayed, even when the internet is down.
"Evergreen Networking and Security installed security cameras at 3 separate business locations for us. We are very happy with the quality of the images, the ability to playback video and especially with the prompt service when any of our cameras or system goes down. We will be using Evergreen for outdoor and indoor video monitoring for all future projects."
