Locating Sound Sources: Directional Audio Detection for Faster Response
8 PagesThis whitepaper introduces directional audio detection, a feature that identifies the location of sudden loud sounds such as gunshots, glass breaks, or screams. Using multiple acoustic sensors, the system calculates the direction of the sound and can automatically direct PTZ cameras to the source. It supports configurable thresholds, filtering for environmental noise like wind or rain, and integration with event triggers for recordings and alerts. Operating entirely on-device, it ensures privacy by transmitting only metadata, not audio content. This capability enhances situational awareness and enables faster, more accurate responses to incidents.
