Home » Argu Products » Gun Detection System
Firearm detection that notifies your team and triggers lockdown protocols within seconds, tuned to cut false alarms without dulling vigilance.
The differentiator is not a longer list of detectors. It is precision and balanced modes built to cut alarm fatigue, plus direct integration with a facility's own lockdown standard operating procedures. On weapon detection, lockdown protocols trigger and law enforcement is notified within three seconds, so the response starts before a second decision has to be made. Weapon alerting is deployed alongside the wider homeland security surveillance stack at government sites and public venues.
Argu's firearm detection agent watches live camera feeds for a visible weapon and reasons about what it sees before it reacts. When a weapon is confirmed, the agent can trigger a facility's lockdown protocol and notify law enforcement automatically. Availability depends on local jurisdiction, and every deployment is configured with that in mind. Precision and balanced alert modes let a security team tune sensitivity to the site, because alarm fatigue costs lives.

Weapon Detection Alerts
The agent scans live video for a visible weapon and sends a real time alert to your security desk the moment it is confirmed, with no manual review needed to start the response.

Precision and Balanced Sensitivity Modes
Tune the agent between a tighter precision mode and a broader balanced mode so alerts match the risk profile of each site instead of one setting for every camera.

Lockdown Protocol Integration
Connect weapon detection directly into your facility's lockdown standard operating procedure, so the alert and the response are part of the same sequence.

Works With Your Existing Cameras
Deploys over RTSP, IP cameras, and NVR systems already installed on site, with no hardware swap and no new camera network to run.
These are the core principles that define how Argu approaches every deployment. Our solutions are built to work on your existing infrastructure, require no engineering overhead, and deliver measurable results from day one. Every feature is designed with one goal: giving your team the intelligence to act faster, with more confidence, and without adding complexity.

Alerts on a confirmed weapon, not a shape
The agent is described in plain language, not limited to a fixed catalogue of pre trained detectors, so it can be tuned to what a site needs to watch for.

Lockdown in three seconds
On weapon detection, lockdown protocols trigger and law enforcement is notified within three seconds of detection, based on Argu's published figures.

Built to reduce alarm fatigue
Precision and balanced modes exist because a security team that stops trusting alerts stops responding to them, and alarm fatigue costs lives.

Deployed on premise
The system runs on premise over existing RTSP, IP camera, and NVR infrastructure, so footage and detection stay inside the facility's own network.

Fewer false alarms, not fewer detectors
Balanced and precision modes are tuned per site, so a security team is not stuck choosing between missing a real threat and drowning in false ones.

Fits the lockdown plan you already have
The integration works with a facility's existing lockdown standard operating procedure instead of asking a team to build a new one around the camera system.

No hardware change, no new camera network
The agent runs over RTSP, IP cameras, and NVR systems already in place, so there is no rip and replace before a site can go live.

On premise by design
Detection and footage stay on the facility's own infrastructure, which matters for a school, courthouse, or venue that cannot send video off site.
