Abstract
Indoor gunshot detection is performed using video analytics. Infrared and acoustic information are collected within an indoor environment using a gunshot sensor. A gunshot is detected, in the indoor environment, based on the infrared and the acoustic information. Video collection is engaged based on the detecting of the gunshot. The video collection is from a video stream. In embodiments, the video stream is a buffered stream. Video analytics are performed for tracking a suspected shooter of the gunshot using the video that is collected. The suspected shooter is identified based on the video analytics. In embodiments, an audio microphone is activated based on the detecting of the gunshot. The suspected shooter is tracked based on the audio microphone. A person of interest is tagged and tracked by an operator of the gunshot detection system. Direction of the gunshot can be determined relative to the gunshot sensor unit.
