Gunshot detection systems at Johnson Controls

1. It’s a scenario no one wants to think about. An active
shooter situation that almost instantly puts lives at risk.
Yet all too often, this threat is very real – and growing. In
2017 – the most lethal year of mass shootings in modern
U.S. history – there were 346 mass shootings,1
with two
of the five deadliest incidents ever occurring within the
span of just 35 days.2
In the context of this ever-increasing threat, having a
gunshot detection system in place is no longer an “above
and beyond” security solution. Rather, it's an essential
component of a comprehensive safety strategy.
Timely and precise information can help
save lives
In an active shooter situation, it’s not an exaggeration to
say that every second counts. That’s why having access
to accurate information within seconds is so critical. The
Detect360
system combines leading gunshot detection with
advanced notification technology to provide immediate
notification as soon as a shot is fired. That means law
enforcement, onsite security personnel and building
occupants alike can all be alerted to shooter activity as
quickly as possible.
Immediate benefits when time is of
the essence
Police and other first responders can:
• Be alerted to gunshot(s) anywhere on the premises
where sensors are located
• Know where and how many shots were fired
• Trigger building alarms, emergency notifications
and evacuation instructions
• Remotely view/monitor the situation through
streaming audio and video
• Receive a clear and concise automated 911 call,
even before human callers are able to safely call
• Client software allows emergency responders access
to detailed situational information
How Detect360
Active Shooter Response works

utilizes acoustic sensors consisting of multiple
microphones, processing electronics and algorithms
to detect gunshots. The system determines the
sensor closest to the gunshot and displays the location
within a map-based GUI. It can also display audio and
video of the incident. In the event of a shooting, the
customer can configure the system to automatically send
911 calls and SMS messages. This can prompt police and
