ZeroEyes
vs
Ambient.ai

Ambient.ai reasons on the threat before the weapon appears.

ZeroEyes only flags a gun once it is visible on camera. Don’t settle for an object detector built to wait for the weapon, not read the behavior that leads to it, and that leaves your doors, alarms and investigations to other systems.

Why teams choose Ambient.ai over ZeroEyes

150+

verified threat signatures, out of the box

Proven coverage, from loitering at a gate to a brandished firearm.
ZeroEyes’ detection beyond guns only reached limited release in mid-2026.

95%

fewer PACS false alarms


Using patented video and access correlation, Ambient Access Intelligence reduces total PACS alarm volume by 95% by clearing false alarms before operators see them.
ZeroEyes does not integrate with any PACS.

20x

faster investigations

Ambient's real-time stream indexing makes every camera searchable as video arrives, so investigations take minutes instead of days.
ZeroEyes does not have post-incident investigation capabilities.

Where Ambient.ai keeps going and ZeroEyes stops

all the threats you care about, not just The Gun

Ambient.ai

Ambient reasons across every frame on every camera, with no sub-sampling, as events unfold, catching the precursors: loitering at an entrance, a tailgate through a side door, a door forced open, before any weapon appears.

ZeroEyes

Built to flag a firearm once someone is holding it in view of a camera. Knife, intrusion and crowd analytics entered limited release in April 2026.

One Unified Platform, not An Alert Relay

Ambient.ai

Monitoring, threat detection, natural-language investigations and PACS alarm clearing run on one platform, whether you keep your current VMS or consolidate onto Ambient Foundation.

ZeroEyes

Pushes verified alerts into Genetec, Milestone or Brivo. Investigation analytics are still listed as coming soon, and post-event work is referred to a partner.

Agentic Triage, Not A Review Queue

Ambient.ai

Agentic triage resolves 90%+ of alerts in under one minute, with full visual context. High-severity detections, including firearms, still get human verification. Human in the loop, not in the bottleneck.

ZeroEyes

Every detection waits for an analyst in its operations center before it reaches you.

What security leaders are saying

"Within 6 to 10 hours of being deployed, the person brandishing firearm threat signature triggered. The capability we thought of as an insurance policy we'd never need? It activated on day one. That completely reframed how we thought about the Ambient system."

Bill Owen
Director of Public Safety, University of Northwestern
