Acoem announced it will showcase the latest version of its ATD Gunshot Detection system at ISC West 2026. The company said the product will feature an acoustic intelligence engine capable of analyzing 96 distinct attributes of a gunshot.

Each of these attributes is evaluated across a broad range of waveform, spectral, temporal and ballistic characteristics. This allows the system to distinguish gunfire from environmental noise with greater precision.

“Not all gunshot detection systems analyze sound the same way,” said Timothy English, managing director at Acoem ATD. “Having 96 unique attributes reflects decades of acoustic research and real-world data. It allows the system to evaluate the full anatomy of a ballistic event rather than reacting to a handful of characteristics. That depth of analysis is what enables faster decisions and greater confidence when seconds matter.”

Acoem ATD’s AI-powered sensor and Cadence software tightly integrate with video management systems, so when the software detects gunshots, it automatically slews a connected PTZ camera to the source of the gunfire.

A version of this for mission-critical applications such as utilities, government and remote facilities will be unveiled at ISC West 2026.

The product localizes threats with a single sensor, which reduces infrastructure complexity.

Acoem’s edge-based AI architecture is designed for noisy environments, which the company said will reduce false alarms while retaining sensitivity to real threats.
