George O. Barr Elementary School in Silvis has about 450 students. It’s one of the smaller schools in the Quad-Cities.
But this year it’s using a new security technology called ZeroEyes – an artificial intelligence system developed by Navy SEALS.
It syncs with the school’s camera system and can spot guns almost anywhere on campus – and it’s more accurate than the human eye.
Once a gun is detected, the system blasts alerts.
The system was tested last week with several different types of guns. It detected firearms time and again, from pistols to assault weapons.
When a gun is detected alerts go out to district administrators and the school resource officer. The alerts provide information that could be key to stopping the violence.
