At Genea, we are committed to providing innovative security solutions that make a real impact on the safety and security of our customers. We are proud to announce our latest integration with Shooter Detection Systems (SDS), a leading provider of gunshot detection solutions. This collaboration aims to enhance response efforts to active shooter incidents, particularly within the higher education market.

Revolutionizing Emergency Response

The integration of SDS’s gunshot detection sensors with Genea’s cloud-based access control platform offers potentially life-saving benefits:

  • Enhanced Emergency Response: Immediate alerts to system users, reduced response times, and automated responses to shots fired.
  • Centralized Incident Management: Security teams can monitor gunshot detection sensors and access control from a unified platform.
  • Multi-Location Coverage: Genea’s ease of deployment and scalability allows for protection across multiple buildings and locations.
  • Automated Threat Containment: Trigger emergency plans to contain shooter threats or facilitate safe exits through unlocked doors.

Advanced Technology for Accurate Detection

“This integration represents a significant advancement in security technology, combining our real-time indoor and outdoor gunshot alerts with Genea’s intelligent access control to deliver faster response times and enhanced situational awareness,” said James Reno, Vice President of Commercial Sales for Alarm.com and Shooter Detection Systems. “We continue to extend our reach into the higher education market, offering a specialized solution that enhances campus security and response capabilities.”  

SDS’s gunshot detection sensors utilize dual-mode technology, detecting both the acoustic bang and infrared flash of gunfire, achieving a 99.9% accuracy rate. Integrated with Genea’s dashboard, the system displays a live status report of the incident, including a facility floor plan pinpointing the shooter’s location and tracking any subsequent gunshots across a building or campus.


A Commitment to Safety

“This partnership reinforces our mission to help provide customers with integrations that make a true impact while strengthening our commitment to the safety and security of our customers,” said Mike Maxsenti, Sr. VP of Product from Genea.
