The challenge

What operators are up against

Operators responsible for city streets, neighborhoods, public spaces, campuses, business districts, acoustic sensors, gunfire, crashes, fireworks, sideshows, dispatchers, and responders cannot continuously inspect every operating condition or developing fault. Periodic checks leave gaps between readings, while isolated local indicators provide limited history and context. A late response can cause downtime, safety exposure, equipment damage, or incomplete compliance evidence. Teams need timely measurements, clear exceptions, and a defined operating response.

The solution

How Flock Safety Gunshot and Critical Audio Detection addresses it

Flock Safety Gunshot and Critical Audio Detection combines connected field data with application software. Distributed event-triggered acoustic devices capture short audio signatures, time, sensor health, and location evidence for configured critical sounds. Classification and verification distinguish likely events, localize them, apply policy rules, and connect alerts with nearby LPR and video evidence through FlockOS. Dispatch informed response, locate victims or evidence, investigate related vehicles and footage, and review event patterns.

How it works

Teams configure the monitored assets, users, and operating rules. Distributed event-triggered acoustic devices capture short audio signatures, time, sensor health, and location evidence for configured critical sounds. Installed devices use vendor-supported cellular or site-network paths to send encrypted events and evidence to the hosted Flock Safety platform. Classification and verification distinguish likely events, localize them, apply policy rules, and connect alerts with nearby LPR and video evidence through FlockOS. Dispatch informed response, locate victims or evidence, investigate related vehicles and footage, and review event patterns.
