The KnowWhere system was designed to function without the need of human intervention to identify threats and relay information to first responders.
The KW-PODs utilize Edge AI technology to detect a variety of threats and utilize multicolored LEDs and two-way audio to guide occupants to safety.
Simultaneously, actionable information is relayed through KW-Control to first responders and your school administration -
saving valuable time when seconds matter the most.
Each KW-POD that is installed on campus is equipped with the ability to autonomously detect threats, which is made possible through Edge AI technology. When a threat is detected, an alert is sent to the designated administrator through any device they have enabled with the software, KW-CONTROL. From KW-CONTROL, the administrator can see a visual feed of the threat, track the threat on the map of the campus, see if there are people in close proximity to the threat, and take relevant action to intervene if necessary.
KW-PODs are able to detect:
Weapons
Gunshots
Fighting
Vaping
Vandalism
Fires & Natural Hazards
...and more!
The KW-Control is able to integrate with either emergency dispatch, or directly to first responders, depending on state regulation. When a threat is detected, your Incident Command Team and first responders are instantly alerted of the event and are provided with actionable threat intelligence, giving first responders the tools they need to be effective during a critical incident.
The KW-PODs are equipped with multicolored LEDs, which light a path leading to your designated safe zones or reunification point, giving your Incident Command Team control of the flow of occupants during a critical incident.
KW-PODs immediately identify how many people are in each room and area of a building, inside and outside, in real time. This is done without using personal identifying information and without relying on human variables, such as someone carrying a phone or swiping a card. Knowing where occupants are in relation to a threat is vital during a critical incident.
Maintain an ongoing awareness of who is on your campus, the reason for their visit and set visitor limitations by using KnowWhat smart ID badges. These badges alert administrators when they’ve crossed your set virtual security perimeters, or when the visitor has stayed past their allotted time. The badge is equipped with a 2-way speaker, allowing administrators to communicate with visitors remotely.
Create security perimeters that alert administrators of activity when crossed. Be alerted when a student leaves the premises, or when a stranger steps on your campus and receive video surveillance when those perimeters are crossed. The virtual security perimeters are facilitated by sensors in the KW-PODs
KW-PODs can operate at night, detecting window break-ins, intruders, door break-ins, and motion.
KW-PODs use thermal detection to identify body temperature. The system is alerted when a body temperature rises to feverous levels, and the subject is tracked through the campus to establish contact tracing. This unique feature allows schools to mitigate the effects of a viral outbreak, notably COVID-19.
KW-PODs are outfitted with 2-way audio communication, giving your school’s occupants the ability to communicate with your Incident Command Team in every room, hallway or space. Communication can be real time or pre-programmed, and can be set for bells and alarms.
The plastic housing for each KW-POD is impact-resistant IP66, meaning it’s durable enough to withstand vandalism and exterior damage. The KW-PODs boast a 10-14 megapixel HD camera, pan / tilt / zoom control, night vision and 360° rotation. The cameras can detect threats autonomously, removing the need for human intervention between detecting the threat and alerting first responders, allowing your security to operate at its fullest potential.
