Alert notifications can be sent in real-time to a Security Operation Center, mobile phone App, computer-based browser, Video Management System (VMS), Access Control System, and more. The alert system can also be further integrated with other business software.  Most clients choose to send proactive alerts after they have been confirmed by the guards running the system to a predetermined escalation path if someone walks in with a weapon. The alert contains the location, date/time stamp, and image.  

Expect Athena’s System to be a workforce multiplier by improving the operational efficiency of your security team. It is best to use this system as an initial triage, with people walking single file through the checkpoint.  Then, upon an alert, a security professional can do a secondary screening.​

For another layer of security, Athena’s Concealed Weapon Detection System can be combined with our natural light gun detection. This looks for brandished guns that are visible and approaching your facility.
