This whitepaper provides a comprehensive guide to evaluating modern gun detection technologies. It outlines three generations of systems: perimeter hardware screening, object-based detection, and advanced agentic reasoning AI. As explained in the guide, earlier systems detect threats only after a weapon is visible, while next-generation platforms identify behavioral precursors such as loitering or aggressive movement before escalation. The paper introduces a 17-criteria evaluation framework covering accuracy, latency, scalability, and integration. By focusing on prevention rather than detection alone, it helps security leaders select solutions that reduce false alarms, improve response times, and deliver meaningful threat mitigation across diverse environments.
