Enhancing School Safety: A Game-Changing AI Approach

How AI can keep our schools safer

Picture this: Classes just let out for lunch at the local elementary school. Lots of noise, commotion and chaos as kids scamper to and fro to get to the cafeteria.

An unidentified car pulls into the parking lot.

No one notices it on the security cameras because there are too many videos to monitor all at once and not enough guards to begin with.

The person gets out of the car and heads to their trunk, pulling out something long and black.

Back on the security cameras, it’s as clear as day that the man has a small arsenal. But no one catches it so no one can raise the alarm and lock down the school before he gets in.

What transpires next is a story we’ve unfortunately grown all too familiar with.

What if this could all be stopped in the parking lot though? Regardless of whose eyes are watching the cameras.

IntelliSee, an AI software company based in Iowa, is doing exactly that. Partnering with AtlastIED to revolutionize the way schools address risks by combining artificial intelligence with real-time video surveillance and mass notification. 

Leveraging technology to save lives.

The Power of Combining AI with the Surveillance and Audio Systems You Already Use

Looking for a simple, affordable security add-on?

With IntelliSee, existing surveillance cameras and audio gear are transformed into intelligent systems capable of identifying threats—without the need for costly camera replacements.

Instead, the software acts as a layer on top of your existing video feeds, no matter who your cameras are made by, allowing them to detect everything from spills to firearms with impressive accuracy (note: The cameras will need to be of high enough resolution that the AI has enough information to analyze).

And once the system is triggered, getting the message out ASAP is crucial.

Integration with AtlasIED’s audio systems ensures that as soon as IntelliSee identifies a threat, whether it’s a puddle or a person pulling out a weapon, immediate and automated action is taken with instant alerts being sent to key decision-makers.

Pre-recorded messages can be triggered, lockdowns initiated and authorities alerted—all in a matter of seconds.

AtlasIED, already a leader in school audio systems, believes so strongly in the promise of Intellisee that it has directly invested in this cutting-edge AI technology to bring unprecedented safety to schools.

Cutting-Edge Weapon, Trespass and Even Bullying Detection

You might be thinking, wow that sounds great, but how well can it actually detect a weapon? What about false positives or setting a lockdown in motion unnecessarily?

Fair concerns.

IntelliSee’s AI software is sophisticated enough to detect water spills on a polished marble floor. Something that’s tough even for the naked eye when looking at a wall of video feeds. Distinguishing between a student pulling out a hockey stick and someone removing a long gun from their trunk is easier.

Trespass detection allows your security personnel to set a perimeter within which notifications will be sent.

Anything out of the ordinary, including signs of bullying, triggers a response without anyone needing to be watching the camera feeds.

As AtlasIED’s VP of Sales, Michael Peveler, pointed out in a recent presentation, “No children have ever been shot behind a locked door”.

This kind of quick, automated response is what will help keep schools safer, ensuring that the system springs into action before a human operator even has time to process the situation.

A Cost-Effective Safety Solution

The partnership between AtlasIED and IntelliSee offers a practical, cost-effective way for schools to enhance their security without overhauling their existing systems.

Schools using Hanwha cameras can rest easy knowing that their current setup is most likely ready to handle these advanced AI capabilities. Again, IntelliSee simply adds a layer of intelligence to the data these cameras are already collecting, turning video surveillance into a proactive safety tool.

By pairing IntelliSee’s real-time video analysis with AtlasIED’s mass communication and emergency alert systems, schools gain a comprehensive safety solution that doesn’t require extensive rewiring or new camera installations.

Innovation Is Leading Us to a Better (and Safer) Future 

As AI continues to evolve, so do the possibilities for improving school safety. From preventing accidents like spills to detecting weapons and other serious threats, the partnership between AtlasIED and IntelliSee represents the future of smart security and solutions that don’t involve infringing on anyone’s rights. Pretty cool.

Schools can now leverage the power of AI, video and audio to create safer environments for students and staff.
