Why Accuracy Matters
In a dense urban landscape, accurate indoor shot detection must distinguish gunfire from construction noise, vehicle backfires, celebratory fireworks, or other abnormal high-decibel events. Only systems that have undergone extensive SAFETY Act effectiveness testing can consistently achieve this, delivering exact shooter location (indoor room, outdoor grid, or vertical floor) while ignoring the thousands of daily non-threat events. This proven accuracy is why leading venues, campuses, and critical infrastructure increasingly require DHS-evaluated solutions.
Learning more about indoor shot detection for airports
Curious what real accuracy looks like in airports? DHS publishes detailed performance data on every SAFETY Act-certified indoor shot detection platform. You’ll see documented detection rates, false-alarm statistics, and case studies from environments virtually identical to airports.

How to choose the right indoor shot detection for airports
When evaluating indoor shot detection providers for your venue, demand proof of reporting accuracy. For example, ask for test data showing the system can distinguish the 12th floor from the 14th during live-fire trials. Only a handful of SAFETY Act-certified platforms have passed these DHS-evaluated vertical tests—critical for a skyline of mixed-use towers.
Other considerations for indoor shot detection in airports
Beyond accuracy, airport decision-makers must consider liability exposure. Only DHS SAFETY Act-covered indoor shot detection provides statutory caps or elimination of third-party claims following an attack. Without this protection, even the most accurate system leaves venues like schools and businesses vulnerable to lawsuits claiming the technology “should have done more.”
