Advanced AI for Safer Schools: Equature’s Aware platform uses artificial intelligence (AI) to detect weapons in real time, instantly notifying school security, administrators, and first responders. By integrating with existing IP cameras, Aware enhances situational awareness without requiring costly infrastructure changes.

Benefits of Aware Weapons Detection include:

  • Real-Time Alerts: AI-powered detection allows immediate response to potential threats.
  • Seamless Integration: Works with existing security systems, minimizing disruptions.
  • High Accuracy: Reduces false positives through deep learning and pattern recognition.
  • Privacy Focused: Ensures compliance with privacy laws by detecting only weapons.
  • Scalable Solution: Adaptable to schools of all sizes and security needs.
  • Faster Response Times: Enhances coordination between security teams and first responders.

“At Equature, our goal is to provide schools with technology that prioritizes safety while maintaining an effective learning environment,” said Chris Quayle, Vice President of Business Development at Equature. “By awarding this grant, we are reinforcing our commitment to protecting students, faculty, and staff.”
