ZeroEyes

ZeroEyes is a Conshohocken, Pennsylvania-based security technology company that applies computer vision to video feeds from customers' existing surveillance cameras to detect visible firearms and other threats in real time. Detections are routed to the ZeroEyes Operations Center (ZOC), where trained analysts — many of them military veterans and former law enforcement officers — review each event before an alert is dispatched to on-site personnel and local emergency dispatch. The company states this verification step is intended to eliminate false positives, and describes the path from detection to dispatched alert as often taking a matter of seconds; a 2021 announcement described the sequence as taking three to five seconds.

The platform is organized into five products: Visual Firearm Detection (the core offering), an Analytics Suite covering knife detection, intrusion, left-behind objects and obstructed cameras, Public Safety Alerts drawn from public and licensed signals, ZeroLink for coordinating cameras, systems, operators and first responders, and 3D Mapping using drone and LiDAR site models for planning and drills. A separate unit, ZeroEyes Government Solutions (ZEGS), targets government and military installations with fixed-camera, drone, tower and mobile detection-kit deployments, detection of guns, people, drones, vehicles, maritime vessels and mobile phones, and integrations with ATAK/iTAK, VMS and C2 platforms.

ZeroEyes serves education (K-12 and higher education), government, commercial and smart-city segments. Named customers and references include River Spirit Casino, the Merage JCC of Orange County, Vassar Public Schools, Navy Pier in Chicago, and Temple University Police, and a 2021 announcement cited the U.S. Department of Defense, public K-12 districts, commercial property groups, Fortune 1000 campuses, shopping malls and big-box retail among its clients.

Founding story

ZeroEyes was founded in 2018 by a team of Navy SEALs, military veterans and technologists following the Marjory Stoneman Douglas (Parkland) school shooting. Co-founder and COO Rob Huberty has said the idea emerged after he and fellow Navy SEALs watched footage from the 2018 Parkland shooting and observed that the shooter's gun was visible in front of a camera without anyone monitoring the feed; Huberty also noted personal ties to the issue, including growing up in Connecticut where his middle school was later renamed Sandy Hook Elementary School. The founding team is described as having more than 50 years of combined military experience across special operations and the intelligence community.

Business model

ZeroEyes sells software that layers onto customers' existing security camera and video management infrastructure, combined with a staffed, 24/7 monitoring service (the ZeroEyes Operations Center) that verifies detections before alerts are issued. Sales are made to organizations across education, government, commercial and smart-city segments, and for public-sector buyers the ZEGS unit is available through government procurement vehicles.

Customer organizations contract for the detection software plus the human-verification monitoring service applied to their own camera systems; government customers can procure via vehicles including NASA SEWP, Tradewinds AI, SDVOSB partner programs, BOCES, TIPS and Carahsoft (NASPO, IDES, OMNIA), as well as an SBIR Phase II.

Traction

As of 2026, ZeroEyes reported operating in 46 states (its website cites 40+ states), with the system having flagged more than 1,000 incidents nationwide and alerts leading to several dozen arrests. It runs two operations centers, in Pennsylvania and Hawaii, for round-the-clock coverage, and processes a stated 300,000 video frames per second across deployments. Temple University Police is cited as the first university in Pennsylvania to adopt the technology.

Latest developments

The company has broadened from single-purpose firearm detection to a five-product platform spanning analytics (knife, intrusion, left-behind object and obstructed camera detection), public safety alerts, the ZeroLink coordination layer and drone/LiDAR 3D mapping, and has built out ZeroEyes Government Solutions for government and military customers, with FedRAMP Moderate authorization in progress. A May 2026 broadcast feature reported operations across 46 states and more than 1,000 flagged incidents.
