Schools Under Fire to Solve Gun Violence
School boards, superintendents and teachers endure relentless pressure and public scrutiny from concerned parents and community leaders who question whether enough is being done to keep guns out of schools and their children safe. One isolated gun incident, without casualties, sets off a chain reaction beginning with the superintendent’s phone blowing up, news reporters and TV camera crews laying siege, and a series of internal investigations to determine fault, failure or blame.
These unfortunate and horrifc situations are multilayered and typically do not manifest from a flagrant disregard of proper safety protocols. Budget constraints are more often than not part of the equation. As is the lack of information available to school officials to help them better understand the benefits of today’s quickly evolving school security technologies and which would prove most effective in addressing their challenges.

Life-Saving Weapons Detection Technologies
Senergy is Committed to Ending Gun Violence in Schools
Evolv Express®
Evolv eXpedite™
Omnilert Gun System
Evolv Express® Walk-Through Concealed Weapons Detection
Built for high-traffic areas so students get to class on time. Evolv Express® uses advanced AI sensors to detect concealed guns and pinpoint their location on a person. A red box visually isolates the weapon on a monitor to help your team respond quickly, confidently and accurately.
Benefits:
- Screens up to 4,000 people per hour (dual-lane) for guns and other weapons.
- “Red Box” highlights weapon location on person, minimizing guesswork and anxieties.
- Continual software updates to maximize performance.
- ADA-compliant configurations and fast setup. Both indoor & outdoor units are mobile.
- Integrated with Evolv Insights® for visual dashboards and performance analytics.
Evolv eXpedite™ AI-Based Weapons Detection for Bags
Take the guesswork out of weapons detection by seeing exactly what people have in their bags, backpacks and purses. Evolv eXpedite™ scans belongings efficiently in high-traffic areas to keep the line moving.
Why It’s Effective:
- Designed for environments with bags, backpacks, and gear.
- Enables more fluid foot traffic flow while reducing staff workload, fatigue and anxiety.
- Works seamlessly with Evolv Express walk-through gun detection scanner.
- Enhances security while mitigating manual checks and hand wanding.
Omnilert Visible Gun Detection AI-Powered Visual Threat Response
Omnilert Gun Detect transforms your existing video surveillance cameras into proactive, early-warning gun detection systems. Security camera AI analytics detect visible firearms, then trigger instant automated safety protocols—giving responders valuable time to act.
Benefits Include:
- 24-7 monitoring of indoor and outdoor environments – school hallways, athletic fields, parking lots, cafeterias, commons areas.
- Detects guns in real time & notifies staff, security and law enforcement immediately.
- Triggers actions like door locks, alerts, and other emergency response protocols.
- Human-verified intelligence sent directly to law enforcement for quicker response times.
- Integrates with most video surveillance systems and platforms.
Smart Sensor for Safer Schools
More Than a Vape Detector
The HALO Smart Sensor helps schools monitor vaping, THC and cigarette smoke, gunshots, and even aggressive voices. Halo is specifically designed for privacy-sensitive areas where security cameras are prohibited, like restrooms, locker rooms, nurse and counselor offices, and faculty lounges. Halo can be integrated with video surveillance though for tracking alert activity in common areas. HALO delivers real-time alerts so staff can respond quickly. HALO also tracks air quality, including CO₂ and volatile compounds to help support healthy learning environments.
Panic Button Alerts & Emergency Lockdown
Coordinate in Real-Time with School Staff & Law Enforcement
Senergyʼs integrated security systems enable schools to easily initiate emergency lockdowns, alert 911, and notify staff and students within seconds. By combining panic buttons, mass notifications, access control, and video surveillance, school personnel can instantly share with first responders key details, like floor plans and room numbers. Cloud-based lockdown tools allow for site-specific or campus-wide activation, while real-time video and sensor alerts help security teams track threats and coordinate effectively with law enforcement.

School Security Questions?
Are Evolv weapons detection systems effective?
Yes. Hundreds of schools across the country have installed Evolv gun detection systems with tremendous positive effect. Evolv offers three primary school security gun detection systems: Evolv Express, Evolv eXpedite, and Omnilert. Evolv Express is a walk-through, touchless concealed weapons detection system that pinpoints the location of the hidden weapon on the person and shows it on a security monitor highlighted by a red box. Evolv eXpedite is an additional layer of weapons detection for schools utilizing a conveyor xray scanner, similar to ones found in airports, where people lay backpacks, purses or luggage on the conveyor for scanning by AI sensors that trigger an alert if a firearm is identified. Omnilert is a visible gun detection system that operates both inside and outside buildings. Omnilert is capable of identifying visible weapons carried by a person walking down a school hallway or outside on school grounds. An alert is immediately triggered upon detection, giving staff and authorities extra time to react.
What are the best access control systems for schools?
Each school has their own access control security needs dependent on how many school buildings or individual campuses require keyless door entry security. Also, whether the school access control system will be integrated with video surveillance (which is recommended by security experts) or other security alarm systems. And lastly, what type of access control credentials are best suited for that particular school: RFID badge and card readers, mobile phone access control credentials, video and intercom access control, on-premise or cloud-based access control for schools. Senergy’s access control systems for schools can often times integrate with a school’s existing door lock hardware, saving the school district money and minimizing access control system installation time performed by authorized security company technicians.
What are the best security cameras for schools?
Video surveillance cameras for schools vary according to the needs of the school. But generally, a mix of PTZ cameras, dome, bullet security cameras, LPR (license plate recognition cameras), and fisheye cameras are considered the best for schools. Location placement of CCTV security cameras in schools is most critical and could be the difference between an effective school video surveillance system and one that falls short of the school’s security goals. School hallways are critial locations for security cameras, as are parking lots (where the majority of gun shootings occur according to the K-12 School Shooting Database), cafeterias, commons areas, athletic fields, lobbies and blind spots both inside and outside a school.
The debate continues about whether or not security cameras should be allowed in classrooms, but increasingly, video surveillance is being deployed in school classrooms, along with panic buttons and intercom systems in the event of physical violence or an active school shooter.
What are the best school security systems and how much do school security systems cost?
The cost for the design and installation of a school security system is wholly dependent on the number of security cameras, type of access control system and credentials, video monitoring, on-premise NVRs or a hybrid cloud security platform configuration, and many other considerations, including the number of buildings or campuses, students and staff.
