Switch to IntelliSee
Gun Detection Is Not a Safety Strategy. Multi-Threat Detection Is.
The AI gun detection market is projected to reach $2.28 billion by 2030. Most of it will be spent on systems that detect a single threat. IntelliSee detects 11. Same cameras. Same budget. Radically broader coverage.

Migration Economics
The Math Favors Consolidation
Single-threat vendors charge $20-$50 per camera per month for one detection type. At 100 cameras, that is $24,000-$60,000 annually for gun detection alone.
Typical Single-Threat Stack
- Gun detection subscription: $20-$50/camera/month for one threat
- Separate fall detection: additional vendor, contract, integration
- Separate fire/smoke: traditional sensors only
- Cloud processing: video leaves your network for every detection
- Each new threat type requires new procurement and new budget line
IntelliSee Platform
- All 11+ detection types included: guns, falls, fire, smoke, crowds, loitering, cell phones, vehicles, slip risk, perimeter, rooftop
- Your existing cameras: $0 additional hardware required
- One on-premises appliance: fixed, predictable annual cost
- New detection models deployed automatically at no extra charge
- Single vendor, single contract, single integration point
Privacy Architecture
Your Video Stays in Your Building. Period.
Some competitors route video frames to centralized monitoring centers in the cloud. That means student footage, patient footage, and employee footage leaves your network and enters someone else’s infrastructure. For organizations subject to FERPA, HIPAA, or state biometric privacy laws, this creates real compliance exposure.
IntelliSee’s edge AI architecture is fundamentally different. A secure 1U on-premises appliance processes video locally. Only encrypted metadata (approximately 15-40 kbps per HD stream) traverses the WAN. No video frames leave the building. No facial recognition. No biometric capture. No PII or PHI storage.
This is not a feature toggle. It is a design principle baked into the architecture.
The Migration Path
Assess. Deploy. Expand.
Three non-disruptive steps from your current system to multi-risk AI coverage across every connected camera.
01
Assess
We audit your current camera infrastructure, detection gaps, and alert workflows. We identify which threats your existing system misses, where false alarm fatigue is degrading response quality, and where IntelliSee closes coverage gaps immediately. This includes a cost comparison against your current vendor stack.
02
Deploy
IntelliSee’s on-premises appliance connects to your existing camera feeds in hours. No camera replacement. No VMS migration. No network reconfiguration. Detection begins on all connected cameras simultaneously the moment the appliance is online.
03
Expand
Every detection type is included at one price. New models deploy automatically at no additional cost. Organizations that deployed for gun detection have expanded into fall detection, perimeter control, and cell phone monitoring without a single additional purchase order.
Why Organizations Switch
The Four Pillars of the Migration Decision
Multi-Threat
11 Threats vs. 1
ZeroEyes and Omnilert detect visible firearms. IntelliSee detects guns, falls, slip hazards, crowds, loitering, vehicles, fire, smoke, cell phones, and rooftop intrusion from the same platform. Daily risks matter as much as the rare catastrophic event.
Privacy
Edge AI vs. Cloud Monitoring
Cloud-based competitors transmit video to remote operations centers. IntelliSee processes everything locally on a 1U appliance. For schools (FERPA), hospitals (HIPAA), and biometric privacy states, this is a compliance requirement.
ROI
Increasing Value, Same Cost
New detection models deploy automatically to all customers at no additional cost. Deploy for gun detection today, gain fall detection, cell phone detection, and smoke/fire detection without a single new contract.
Compliance
Grant Eligible, SAFETY Act Designated
Qualifies for SVPP, NSGP, BSCA, and DHS SHSP grants covering up to 100% of costs. Available through PEPPM and Sourcewell. DHS QATT Designation meets state SAFETY Act procurement requirements.
Intelligence Brief
DHS QATT Designated: What That Means for Your Procurement
IntelliSee is designated a Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technology (QATT) under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security SAFETY Act, effective November 2025 through January 2031. This designation follows independent technical evaluation by DHS and provides organizations with meaningful liability protection under federal law.
Several states now require SAFETY Act designation in their AI gun detection procurement criteria. IntelliSee’s QATT Designation meets this requirement. The designation confirms the platform has been assessed against real-world threat scenarios by the federal government.

Common Questions
Migration specifics, competitive comparisons, and deployment details answered directly.
Do I need to replace my cameras to switch to IntelliSee?
No. IntelliSee connects to most existing ONVIF-compliant and RTSP-enabled IP cameras from 480p to 4K+. A secure 1U on-premises appliance is installed within your network and analyzes existing feeds locally. 94% of U.S. educational and healthcare institutions already have security cameras installed. IntelliSee layers AI intelligence on top of that existing investment.
How does IntelliSee compare to ZeroEyes?
ZeroEyes detects one threat type (visible firearms) and transmits video frames to a centralized cloud operations center for human verification. IntelliSee detects 11+ threat types, processes all video on-premises so it never leaves your network, and deploys new detection models automatically at no additional cost. Both hold DHS SAFETY Act designations. For a detailed breakdown, see our full comparison page.
How long does the migration take?
IntelliSee can be deployed in hours. The on-premises appliance connects to your existing camera feeds, and detection configuration is completed on-site. Most organizations are fully operational within a single business day. Camera compatibility is verified before hardware ships.
What happens to my existing VMS and integrations?
Your existing VMS stays in place. IntelliSee layers intelligence on top of your current infrastructure and integrates with Milestone XProtect, Genetec Security Center, Avigilon, Exacq. Alert workflows connect to AtlasIED, Singlewire, and RapidSOS for automated mass notification and first responder dispatch.
Is IntelliSee eligible for grant funding?
Yes. IntelliSee qualifies for SVPP, NSGP, BSCA, and DHS SHSP grants that can cover up to 100% of project costs. Available through PEPPM and Sourcewell cooperative purchasing vehicles. Our team provides grant guidance resources and can connect you with grant writing specialists.
Does IntelliSee use facial recognition or store biometric data?
No. IntelliSee does not use facial recognition, does not capture or store biometric data, does not retain PII or PHI, and does not transmit video off-premises. All processing happens on a local appliance within your network. This addresses FERPA, HIPAA, BIPA, and state biometric privacy concerns that cloud-based competitors structurally cannot.
