Gunshot detection systems are used for detecting shots fired by any weapon, using optical, acoustic, and various other sensors. The system is composed of sensors and microphones, processing units, and a user interfaces display. To achieve full coverage of the area, gunshot detection systems are installed 30 feet above the ground at specially marked locations such as street lights, buildings, poles, etc. These systems are commonly used by law enforcement agencies, military, and security purposes in schools and colleges.
Rising numbers of mass shootings at educational institutions, government offices, hospitals are increasing the demand for gunshot detection systems and surveillance security systems. These systems are used to alert people in the surroundings as well as to inform the authorities about the location of the shooting. Investments in border security are also a growth driver for the gunshot detection systems market, as these systems can be useful in detecting and averting any possible attempts of infiltration, smuggling, and illegal migration. With little modification in the system, it might become possible for the manufacturers to help authorities and forces identify criminals and detect unlawful entry in the absence of gunshots.
Top 10 players in the global gunshot detection systems market are as follows:
