What is Holistic Threat Detection?

​

Holistic threat detection is an AI-driven approach to security that evaluates multiple signals simultaneously-including weapons, human posture, and environmental context-to determine whether a situation represents a real threat. threatvision.ai is a pioneer in this approach and is the only patented solution that was designed from ground up to move beyond object-only detection.

​​

The Problem with traditional AI gun detection systems

​

Traditional AI gun detection systems look for a single visual object (Gun), this approach can miss early warning signals, produce high false-positive rates, and struggles in environments where the gun may not be visible due to visual obstruction. 

​

How Holistic Threat Detection Works

​

threatvision.ai utilizes existing cameras to perform holistic AI threat detection, this patented approach involves three core layers:

​

1. Weapon Detection: Detects all kinds of firearms and other weapons.

2. Victim / Aggressor Posture Detection: Detects human postures that indicate threat conditions

3. State of object Detection: Detects state of doors and windows, Graffitis, Vandalism, and more.

​

By combining these capabilities, holistic threat detection outperforms traditional solutions that only focus on detecting guns. 

​

Why is Holistic Threat Detection more effective?

 

Holistic threat detection analyses CCTV video streams not only for guns but also for additional signals that have strong correlation with threat conditions. Holistic threat detection solution is a powerful gun detection and weapon detection solution but is not limited to only one gun and weapon detection.

 

Example 1: When Nashville School Shooting suspect entered the building, they smashed the glass door to enter the building. This was an early indicator of looming threat and authorities could have been notified in advance of a single gun shot being fired.

 

Example 2: When a few robbers walked into a well-known cellphone store the employees were asked to get on the floor, this behavior is abnormal and there was no gun visible in the CCTV camera, the suspects took one of the employees to the safe room and stole all the electronics. Holistic threat detection system like threatvision.ai can detect such a threat and notify in this case before even the employee was taken into the safe room and opening the safe.

 

Example 3: When a gas station was being robbed, no gun was visible, however the cash register was being emptied. threatvision.ai detected that the cash register was being emptied during business hours and flagged it as a threat before the robber asked the employee to even open the second cash register as well as hurt the store employee.

​

Where is Holistic Threat Detection solution most effective?
 

The capabilities of a holistic threat detection solution are essential for Schools & campuses, Gas Stations & Convenience Stores, Banks & ATM, Pharmacies, Places of Worship, Government & Public Offices, Cellphone Stores, Jewelry Stores, Hotels & Motels, Museums, and Apartment Complex.

FAQ

​

Does it require new cameras?

No. threatvision.ai works with existing camera infrastructure.

​

What hardware is required to deploy such a solution?

threatvision.ai comes installed on pre-configured edge device that can be deployed on-premise or cloud.

​

Who can receive the threat alert?

threatvision.ai escalation module allows you to configure who gets notified when. You have full control of who gets notified when a threat is detected.

​

What does the threat alert include?

Once threatvision.ai detects a threat, it immediately sends an alert along with the image of the threat, type of threat, location, date and time.

​

What patents have been approved?

United State Patent & Trademark office has issued two very important patents that not only include our exclusive rights to weapon detection using AI, human posture detection using AI, and state of the object detection using AI but also sending the alert notifications.

Patent US11335126B1
Using artificial intelligence to analyze output from a security system to detect a potential crime in progress

​

Abstract

​

In some aspects, one or more processors may perform an analysis of a processed image using an artificial intelligence module. Based on the analysis, the one or more processors may determine that the processed image includes one or more threats and determine details associated with individual threats of the one or more threats. The one or more processors may determine, based on the details associated with the one or more threats, that a particular threat threshold of a plurality of threat thresholds has been satisfied. The one or more processors may add one or more annotations to the image to create an annotated image that includes the one or more threats and at least a portion of the details associated with individual threats of the one or more threats. The one or more processors may send a notification to one or more designated recipients.

​

Using Artificial Intelligence to Analyze Sensor Data to Detect Potential Change(s) for Risk and Threat Assessment and Identification

​

Various locations (e.g., locations inside a building and locations outside the building), such as a place of worship, a statue, and the like may be subject to damage by vandals. For example, the damage may include graffiti, defacement, or the like. Often, by the time the authorities (the police, an owner, a manager, a security company, or the like) have been notified, the vandal(s) have left the scene, making it difficult to find and apprehend the perpetrators.
