Threat detection without identity surveillance.
ZeroEyes adds AI gun detection to the security cameras organizations already have. Trained analysts verify every detection before an alert goes out. The system is designed to recognize visible threat objects, not to identify or track individuals.

What it covers, who it’s for, and how to get the most out of it.
Get the ChecklistWho is this checklist for?
Security directors, facilities leaders, school and campus administrators, and anyone responsible for planning next year’s security program. It works for a single site or a multi-location organization.
How long does it take to complete?
Most teams can work through the six areas in about 15 minutes. Plan a little longer if you want to fill in the 2027 priorities worksheet together.
Do we need ZeroEyes to use it?
No. The checklist is vendor-neutral and evaluates your cameras, detection methods, response procedures, after-hours monitoring, consistency across sites, and planning process, whatever technology you use.
What happens after I fill out the form?
You’ll get an email with a link to the PDF within a few minutes. A ZeroEyes team member may follow up to see if you’d like help working through your results.
Is there a way to score our readiness?
Yes. The companion 2027 Security Readiness Assessment is a 12-question survey that gives you a score and readiness level. Take it at info.zeroeyes.com/2027-security-readiness-assessment.
