Why Your Security Needs Better Weapons Detection

Better Weapons Detection

Security checkpoints can be predictable. The same metal detectors that security staff wave at visitors have been used for years. But are you confident that your security will detect all potential weapons? With technology advancing at a rapid rate, security measures must follow suit. Here’s why your security needs better weapons detection

Outdated Technology

The security industry has settled into a cycle of using dated technology to solve current problems. For instance, metal detectors have become excellent at detecting metal. This is because the technology that’s been around for around 50 years has been continually tweaked. What it failed to do is keep up with the technology trends today. People are carrying around a lot more metal than before. Items may include mobile phones, tablets, and wireless headphones. Getting through a security check can be a time-consuming process

Traditional Detectors Have Weapons Screening Limitations

Metal detectors have a weakness. They’re incredibly slow when it comes to screening crowds. Think about airport security stations. We can all recall a time when we had to wait in line to be screened one at a time. Dated metal detectors can delay flights and make students late for class. This is partly because they can’t differentiate between weapons and other metals. Security can’t tell the difference between a cell phone and a gun. This means they need to check every trigger that goes off. And the vast majority of these are false and could have been passed. Dated weapons detection units require a higher staff contingent. Thankfully, there are better weapons detection systems on hand

Advanced Weapons Detection Technology

Ballistiglass has developed a revolutionary detection technology called BallistiSCAN. This military-grade technology can detect concealed weapons. The ability to ignore non-weapons means it can handle high foot traffic volumes. Traffic volume can increase without allowing any weapons past without triggering. Thanks to its micro sensors, you won’t miss any weapons, knives, or even e-cigarettes. These sensors use advanced signal processing algorithms and magnetic noise filters. These ensure an accurate reading every time

Low-Profile Weapons Detectors

Advanced technology has revolutionized the security industry. Traditional walk-through detectors are bulky and slow to operate. They also make their presence felt and can invoke unnecessary fear. The Ballistiglass low-profile metal detector is sleek and subtle. Its small footprint means that it may not even be noticed by passers-by. And no more unsightly arches to have to walk through. Be sure to use a leading security company that offers a low-profile detector

Weapon Detection That’s Portable

Another strength of the BallistiSCAN system is its portability. The entire system is portable and only takes minutes to set up. This will help to ensure a weapons-free environment no matter where you are. Hosting a party or a sports day that requires security? Well, you can take your portable walk-through metal detector with you. You can use a laptop to run the easy-to-use software and you can connect to a USB camera to take a snapshot when the alarm is triggered.

Easy To Use Software

BallistiSCAN’s easy-to-use software allows users to set and save their desired threshold for detecting metal objects. This means they can decide how stringent they want the screening to be. When the threshold is exceeded, an alarm ‘event’ triggers, and a sound activates
