Shooter Detection Systems to Showcase Outdoor Gunshot Detection Innovation and Industry Leadership at ISC West 2026
SDS addresses growing demand for rapid, responsive technology solutions amid rising global gun violence
Shooter Detection Systems (SDS), an Alarm.com (NASDAQ:ALRM) company and a leading provider of gunshot detection solutions, today announced its participation at ISC West 2026, taking place March 24–27 at The Venetian Expo in Las Vegas. At the event, SDS will highlight its expanding role in advancing the proven accuracy, advanced integration capabilities, and rapid response gunshot detection provides for both indoor and outdoor applications.
Interest in gunshot detection technology continues to grow as organizations seek advanced solutions amid rising gun violence across commercial and public environments. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), firearm-related incidents remain one of the leading causes of injury and death in the United States. This underscores the need for faster awareness and response in locations such as corporate offices, government facilities, healthcare campuses, public venues, colleges, and K-12 schools. By providing instant, accurate detection without functioning as a surveillance or listening device, SDS delivers privacy-conscious protection built on proven reliability.
At ISC West, SDS will showcase the SDS Perimeter Outdoor Gunshot Detection System, which is now commercially available following a highly successful beta program. Designed to extend proven indoor gunshot detection capabilities to building exteriors and campus perimeters, SDS Perimeter enables organizations to identify and respond to threats before they can move inside.
The company will also demonstrate advancements in its software platform and deeper technology integrations with other layers of security infrastructure for even stronger protections in the event of gunfire. In addition, SDS will provide valuable insight into how emerging standards are helping central stations improve efficiency during active threat detection as part of the ISC West educational program.
"Organizations across corporate offices, healthcare systems, utilities, and educational campuses are re-evaluating their security posture in light of tragic shootings that continue to impact communities nationwide," said Rich Onofrio, Chief Technology Officer for Shooter Detection Systems. "ISC West provides an important opportunity to demonstrate how layered gunshot detection, both indoors and outdoors, can deliver faster response, better coordination, and ultimately help save lives."
Now Available: SDS Perimeter Outdoor Gunshot Detection System
After a successful beta program, SDS Perimeter is now readily available to partners, integrators, and end users. This sensor uses SDS's patented acoustic and infrared technology to accurately detect and pinpoint gunshots outdoors, providing real-time alerts that help initiate lockdowns, dispatch law enforcement, and accelerate response times.
Expanded Market Opportunities for Partners
With the addition of outdoor perimeter coverage, SDS is helping security integration partners expand into key vertical markets, including corporate offices, healthcare campuses, utilities, and K-12 and higher education environments. The ability to secure both building interiors and surrounding grounds provides a comprehensive, layered approach that aligns with evolving security standards and market demand.
Software Experience Upgrades
SDS will also demo its redesigned, web-based shot detection software, featuring a modern interface and a unified map view that visualizes both indoor and outdoor sensor locations in real time. The enhanced user experience enables monitoring centers and security teams to quickly verify events, understand threat location, and coordinate a safe response.
Expanded Technology Integrations
SDS continues to expand its ecosystem with deeper integrations with Genea, Alarm.com, and other technology partners, enabling seamless connectivity with video surveillance, access control, and remote monitoring platforms. These integrations are designed to enhance situational awareness and streamline workflows for security operations centers and central monitoring stations.
ISC West Educational Session Featuring SDS Chief Technology Officer
SDS's Rich Onofrio will participate in the ISC West education session titled "Active Threat Detection Standard Drives Heightened Efficiency for Monitoring Centers and Aids in Safe Response." The session will explore how emerging standards for active threat detection improve operational efficiency for monitoring centers while supporting safer, more coordinated responses during critical incidents.
Visit Shooter Detection Systems at ISC West Booth 14039 for live demonstrations of SDS Perimeter, a first look at its enhanced web-based software platform, and conversations with experts advancing the future of active shooter detection.
