Identiv Announces Strategic Partnership with Omnilert to Enhance Safety with Advanced Gun Detection Technology

Integration of Omnilert Gun Detect into Velocity Vision Ecosystem delivers a comprehensive security solution for schools, workplaces, and healthcare facilities

Identiv, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE), a global digital security and identification leader in the Internet of Things (IoT), is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Omnilert, a leading provider of AI visual gun detection technology. Through this partnership, Identiv became a reseller of Omnilert Gun Detect, integrating its advanced gun detection capabilities into the Velocity Vision Ecosystem to significantly enhance safety monitoring across a variety of sites, including educational institutions, corporate offices, healthcare facilities, retail spaces, manufacturing plants, and more.

As incidents of gun violence continue to rise in the United States, the need for proactive security measures has never been more urgent. The strategic partnership between Identiv and Omnilert addresses this critical need by providing an integrated solution that enhances security through early gun detection and automated emergency response.

Key Features of the Partnership

  • Proactive Gun Detection: Omnilert Gun Detect utilizes AI technology to continuously monitor video streams from existing security cameras for the first sight of a brandished weapon. Once a potential threat is detected and verified, the system triggers an automated response, including locking doors, notifying law enforcement, and sending alerts to those in harm's way.
  • Seamless Integration: The Omnilert Gun Detect system integrates seamlessly with the Velocity Vision Ecosystem, providing a single-pane-of-glass view for security operations. This integration ensures that all security measures work together harmoniously, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the system.
  • Comprehensive Emergency Response: The integration of Omnilert Gun Detect with Identiv's solutions allows for a full-scale, automated emergency response. This includes real-time situational intelligence, immediate lockdown procedures, and efficient communication with emergency responders and building occupants.

The partnership’s benefits extend to a variety of environments where safety is paramount:

  • Educational Institutions: Schools and universities can benefit from early gun detection and rapid response, ensuring the safety of students and staff.
  • Workplaces: Corporate offices and manufacturing plants can enhance employee safety with real-time gun detection and rapid emergency response.
  • Healthcare Facilities: Hospitals and clinics can protect patients, staff, and visitors by integrating early gun detection with their existing security systems.
  • Retail Spaces: Shopping centers and retail stores can ensure a safer environment for shoppers and employees through proactive threat detection.
  • Public Venues: Events and public gatherings can benefit from enhanced security measures, providing peace of mind to attendees.

“Identiv's decision to partner with Omnilert was driven by our commitment to providing the most advanced and effective security solutions to our customers,” said Mark Allen, GM Premises, Identiv. “By integrating Omnilert Gun Detect into our Velocity Vision Ecosystem, we are offering a critical layer of protection that can help prevent tragic events and ensure the safety of people in various environments.”

“Gun violence is at an all-time high in the US, and Omnilert Gun Detect is proving to be one of the most effective solutions for preventing these tragedies through early detection and automatic response,” said Nick Gustavsson, CTO, Omnilert. “Our strategic partnership with Identiv brings together the best of both worlds — advanced AI-powered gun detection and comprehensive security management — to keep people safe from active shooter threats across a wide range of environments.”
