ShotDetect

Turn smartphones into instant gunshot detection network

Transforms existing campus mobile devices into a mesh of gunfire detection network. By using multi-device verification to confirm and locate gunshots, the platform alerts family members while providing students with a one-tap “I’m Safe” check-in.

Get it on Google Play See the network

One sound, reaching each phone in turn. Two phones, fifteen metres apart, are enough. Every phone after that sharpens where it came from.

01

It listens

A phone in the room recognises gunfire on its own, as it happens. Nothing recorded. No audio sent.

02

They agree

A slammed door fools one phone. It cannot fool two, fifteen metres apart, in the same second.

03

You know

Silent or locked, the alert still arrives. They tap once to say they are safe.

The network

Phones agree inside. One phone wakes outside.

Two phones, far enough apart, confirm an alert. Every phone after that is another set of ears.

An illustration, not a recording. Phones inside confirm it between themselves, and an alert leaves sealed, to the phones paired with them and nowhere else. No audio is ever sent.

Two must agree

Every alert needs two phones hearing the same thing in the same second.

More phones, more cover

Every phone that joins puts more of the building in range of the two an alert needs.

A tighter answer

The more phones that hear it, the tighter the area on the map.

The family app · available now

Two phones, one thread between them.

The smallest thing the network can carry is a pair. The app opens by asking who the phone is for — a family, a workplace, or a law-enforcement agency — and the family answer is the one that ships today. Set it up once: their school, their hours. Their phone listens and stays silent. Yours holds the map, and speaks only when phones agree.

One network, more than one job

Wherever there are phones, there are ears.

None of this is particular to a school. The same network works wherever enough phones are in one place. All that changes is who gets woken.

Available now

Family

One guardian’s phone, one student’s, paired to each other and nobody else. Theirs listens through the hours you agreed, and stops when it leaves the school. Yours stays silent until phones agree, then wakes with the place and one tap back.

In development

Business

An office floor, a shop, a warehouse, a campus. The phones already on shift are the sensors, and the alert goes to whoever runs the floor. No wiring. No wall sensors. A manager sees that the floor is covered, never where anybody is.

In development

Law enforcement

The same detection, handed on: what several phones heard, when, and the area it narrowed to. An area, never a point — that is all the geometry supports. No microphone for an agency to defend, because every ear is somebody’s own phone.

How an alert earns the word

Two phones must agree. So must a person.

The strongest safeguard here is not a better model. It is one question, put to the people who were standing there, before anybody outside the room is told.

Phones agree

One phone can be fooled. Two, far apart and in the same second, far less easily.

Available now

A person confirms

Every phone that heard it asks the person holding it one question. Only a person’s answer earns the word confirmed. Silence never cancels an alert — somebody hiding does not answer a prompt.

Available now

The right people are told

The people in the room first. Then the phone outside the building. Nothing travels further unless a person there releases it.

Available now

The family app runs all three today, between paired phones. The floor and the station are in development, and every measured figure is on how it performs.

Phones, not wall sensors

Nothing to install. Nobody to wait for.

  • No wall sensors. No wiring. It runs on the phones already there.
  • No district contract. No purchase order. One family is enough to start.
  • No account to create. No survey to schedule.
  • Nothing to rip out when you move. The network leaves with the phones.

Privacy

Anonymous to everyone else. Private to you.

The phones that agree never learn a name. Only the two you paired know where the other one is.

Anonymous in the crowd

Phones agree over tiny anonymous broadcasts: no audio, no names, rotating ids. The network never learns who anyone is.

Nothing recorded

The phone listens, decides, forgets. Nothing is written down. Nobody can play it back, us included.

Private to your pair

No account. No contacts to hand over. Your phone and theirs are linked only to each other, and everything between them is sealed.

Get started

Set it up once. Hope you never need it.

Two phones, one QR code, about a minute. No account.
