Camera only weapons detection rely on standard surveillance cameras and AI to identify visible weapons. That sounds helpful—until you consider the obvious flaw:
If a weapon is concealed, it’s invisible to the camera.
That means a person can walk into your building with a firearm or other weapon hidden under a coat or in a bag—and a camera-based system won’t detect it until it’s too late.
Athena’s advanced weapons detection system uses sensors and AI that don’t rely on visual line-of-sight. Our solution is designed to identify concealed weapons before they enter the building—at the door, at the gate, or at any access point. This means:
No need to rely on someone “visibly brandishing” a weapon
No waiting for a threat to reveal itself
No missed detection because of lighting or camera angle
Security isn’t just about seeing a weapon—it’s about stopping it.
Athena prevents active shooter situations by:
-Identifying threats before they enter
-Sending instant alerts to security teams
-Integrating with existing access control and lockdown systems
Meanwhile, camera-based AI can only react after a weapon is visible—when every second counts, and it’s often too late.
