Abstract
Techniques for single unit outdoor gunshot detection are disclosed. Near-infrared band sensing collects infrared information using a gunshot sensor device. The collecting is performed by at least two infrared sensors in a single gunshot sensor device unit. Acoustic information is collected using the gunshot sensor device. The collecting acoustic information is performed by at least two acoustic sensors also co-located in the single gunshot sensor device unit. The infrared sensors and acoustic sensors provide a 180° gunshot detection field. At least two additional infrared sensors and at least two additional acoustic sensors are added to the gunshot sensor device to augment the collecting. The additional infrared sensors and acoustic sensors enable a 360° gunshot detection field. A gunshot is detected using the gunshot sensor device. The detecting is based on analysis of the infrared and the acoustic information. The gunshot sensor device is powered using a solar panel.
