For the building with cameras, no security staff, and real exposure.
Churches, retail, clinics, offices, venues. Places where somebody would notice eventually, and eventually is the problem.
This detects firearms visible to a camera. It cannot detect a concealed weapon, and it will produce false alerts — you will see your own measured rate.
Arming schedules
An armed person in a closed store at 2am is a different event from the same person at 2pm, and treating them identically is how a system becomes either useless or intolerable.
Set arming by schedule and the interior of the building alerts only when it should be empty. Exterior cameras stay live in every state, because someone approaching with a firearm is worth knowing about either way.
Professional monitoring, because nobody is watching at 2am
A monitoring provider's agent reviews the camera before anything escalates, then dispatches and notifies. It is the value a dedicated security operations centre provides, priced per alarm rather than per year — which is what makes it viable for a site with eight cameras and no security budget.
Verified-response jurisdictions
Some municipalities will not dispatch on an unverified alarm, and many fine repeat false alarms. Setup surfaces what applies at your address, because it directly changes which response mode makes sense for you — and because finding out via an invoice is a bad way to find out.
Several buildings, one view
Sites roll up under one organization with a shared roster where you want one and separate rosters where you do not. Each site keeps its own arming schedule, response mode, and measured false-alert rate.
