Full-spectrum facility AI vs human-verified gun detection
ZeroEyes is the best-known name in AI gun detection — human analysts verify every alert, and it holds a DHS SAFETY Act designation. Police.Live is a broader on-premise platform where gun detection is one of a dozen models, alongside facial recognition, LPR, fire, violence, and corrections monitoring. Here is an honest, public-source comparison.
If your single priority is active-shooter gun detection for U.S. schools or public buildings — with managed human verification and DHS SAFETY Act liability protection — ZeroEyes is the specialist. If you need broad AI surveillance inside stations, jails, and airports, fully on-premise and air-gap capable, Police.Live covers far more ground.
Side-by-side, no fluff
Where Police.Live wins
One platform, not one feature
Police.Live bundles gun detection with knife, fire, smoke, violence, facial recognition, LPR, loitering, abandoned-object, and corrections monitoring. ZeroEyes is deliberately specialized on firearm detection — for anything else you would add other vendors.
On-premise & air-gap capable
Police.Live processes and stores on your network and can run fully air-gapped; cloud event reporting is optional and can be disabled. ZeroEyes routes detections to its cloud-connected operations center for human verification.
Built for corrections & access control
Cell and restricted-area monitoring, self-harm indicators, and substance detection are core Police.Live use cases. ZeroEyes is engineered for active-shooter prevention in schools and public buildings, not corrections interiors.
International & GCC reach
Police.Live ships a fully bilingual Arabic/English interface with sales operations in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. ZeroEyes is U.S.-focused, primarily serving American schools and public buildings.
When ZeroEyes is the better choice
- Your single goal is active-shooter gun detection for U.S. K-12 schools or public buildings, and managed human verification is a requirement.
- A DHS SAFETY Act designation matters for your liability posture or is required by a state school-safety grant — ZeroEyes holds one today and Police.Live does not.
- You prefer a fully managed detection-and-verification service over running an in-house platform.
How they price
License + on-premise hardware (Edge Compact, Edge Performance, Server Class). One license for the deployment with optional support — no per-camera subscription escalator. Contact sales for facility sizing.
Managed subscription, typically billed per camera or per site (ZeroEyes does not publish list pricing).
Common questions
Does Police.Live verify alerts with humans like ZeroEyes?
It can, as an optional managed add-on. Most Police.Live customers keep verification in-house, using the timestamped visual evidence and confidence score attached to every alert. ZeroEyes builds human verification into its core managed service.
Does Police.Live have a DHS SAFETY Act designation?
No. ZeroEyes holds a DHS SAFETY Act designation; Police.Live does not hold one today and is eligible to pursue it as a U.S.-based company. If SAFETY Act coverage is a hard procurement requirement, ZeroEyes currently meets it and Police.Live does not.
Which is better for jails and detention centers?
Police.Live, by a wide margin. Jails need cell monitoring, self-harm detection, substance detection, and crowd alerts — none of which ZeroEyes provides. ZeroEyes is optimized for active-shooter prevention in schools and public buildings.
