Smart detection of sound events
Reliable solution for saving lives and protecting property
Sound detection enables an immediate response to crisis situations – from gunshots to glass breaking or machine failures. The Sound Event Detector (SED) system automatically analyzes surrounding sounds, evaluates risk events, and immediately informs responsible persons. Faster than cameras, more reliable than human senses.

Where can the system be used?
The Sound Event Detector (SED) system finds application in various sectors where rapid response to dangerous or non-standard sounds is critical. Thanks to precise detection and immediate alerts, it helps protect people, property, and ensure efficient operations.
-
Industry and manufacturing
Detection of machine failures, gas leaks, and accidents. Prevention of outages and increased safety.
-
Schools and public spaces
Fast response to shootings, assaults, or vandalism. Protection of students and visitors.
-
Urban areas and public safety
Monitoring streets, parks, and transit stops. Alerts for dangerous situations earlier than cameras can detect them.
-
Shopping centers and airports
Detection of violent incidents, vandalism, and unauthorized access. Protection of customers and staff.
-
Healthcare and care facilities
Identification of calls for help, patient falls, or unauthorized access to sensitive wards.
-
Residential buildings and private properties
Sound detection of glass breaking, attempted burglaries, or suspicious activity.
How does the system work?
-
Adaptation
SED analyzes common sounds in a given environment and adapts to them. It recognizes typical noise patterns to minimize false alarms.
-
Detection
SED identifies unusual sounds that are not part of the normal environment. These may include gunshots, glass breaking, screams, mechanical failures, or other risk events.
-
Extraction
SED processes sound signals and extracts key characteristics from them. This allows the system to accurately recognize what type of sound it is.
-
Classification
SED compares the sound with a database of known dangerous sounds. It determines whether it belongs to a category of risky sound events (e.g. shooting, accident, explosion).
-
Evaluation
If the sound is evaluated as dangerous or critical, the system triggers an alarm. This enables an immediate response to the threat.
-
Notification
SED immediately informs responsible persons or security services. Thanks to fast notifications, rescue teams can respond earlier than if the situation were detected by cameras or people nearby.
Key benefits of the system
-
Immediate response
System responds faster than camera systems or people nearby.
-

-
SED can recognize a wide range of unwanted sounds, including gunshots, explosions, breaking glass, human screams, industrial failures, and other acoustic events indicating danger.
-
SED analyzes and classifies sounds in real time and can alert relevant personnel within fractions of a second—often faster than cameras or people can react.
-
Yes. SED is compatible with systems such as Axis, Genetec, Milestone, Avigilon, and iVSEC, and can be easily connected to cameras, alarms, and security monitoring.
-
SED can be deployed as software within existing systems or as a standalone hardware unit. Power can be supplied via PoE, network, or battery. Installation is simple and requires no major infrastructure changes.
-
SED uses advanced machine learning algorithms to minimize false alarms. The system adapts to ambient noise and ignores non-threatening sounds, ensuring high detection accuracy.
