Case Study: Enhancing Public Safety with AI-Powered Gun Detection System

Client Overview

A large shopping mall faced growing security concerns regarding potential threats, including weapons being carried into public areas. With high foot traffic and multiple entry points, the need for real-time surveillance and rapid response became a priority.

Challenge

Traditional CCTV surveillance systems relied on manual monitoring, making it difficult to detect threats instantly. Security personnel could only react after an incident occurred, increasing response time and potential risk to visitors. The client required a proactive, AI-driven solution to detect weapons and issue alerts in real time.

Solution by JW Infotech

Our team at JW Infotech implemented a cutting-edge Gun Detection System to enhance public safety by integrating AI-powered surveillance into the mall’s existing security infrastructure.

Key Features & Implementation

🔹 Weapon Detection with YOLOv5 & YOLOv8

• Deployed advanced computer vision models trained to detect firearms (handguns, shotguns) and knives in real time.
• The system continuously analyzed live CCTV feeds, identifying potential threats within milliseconds.

🔹 Automated Alert System

• Once a weapon was detected, the system immediately triggered alerts via:
  ✅ SMS & Email Notifications to security teams and law enforcement.
  ✅ In-App Alerts on the mall’s security dashboard.
  ✅ Snapshots & Video Clips capturing footage 5 minutes before and after detection for investigation.

🔹 Secure Database Integration

• Detected incidents were logged into a centralized database, storing event details, video evidence, and security actions taken.
• This historical data allowed security teams to analyze trends and improve future threat response.

Real-World Impact

📍 Incident: Knife Detection in a Shopping Mall
During routine surveillance, the system detected an individual carrying a concealed knife near a crowded food court.

🔹 Immediate Response:
✅ Security received instant alerts with the suspect’s image & location.
✅ Nearby personnel intercepted the individual before any incident occurred.
✅ Law enforcement was notified, and the footage was reviewed for further action.

🔹 Outcome:
✔️ Threat neutralized before escalation.
✔️ Enhanced visitor confidence in mall security.
✔️ Reduced reliance on manual monitoring, improving efficiency.
