ZeroEyes, the creators of the first AI-based gun detection video analytics platform to earn the full US Department of Homeland Security SAFETY Act Designation, recapped its 2025 accomplishments, including surpassing 1,000 verified alerts of confirmed gun detections since 2023.

After achieving sustained growth in North America with 98% customer retention, ZeroEyes expanded its global reach in 2025, entering the LATAM and APAC regions.

Additionally, the company doubled its partner channel through strengthened relationships with national and regional security and systems integrators across the U.S., resulting in a twofold increase in partner-driven sales.

This growth further underscored the trust placed in ZeroEyes and its integrators by schools, federal and local governments, enterprises, healthcare and transit facilities, and retailers at thousands of locations across nearly every state in the country. The massive expansion of ZeroEyes and its partner network reflects AI weapons detection’s emergence as a core component of modern security strategies, the company said.

$2M in Grant Funding

ZeroEyes secured a $2 million grant from the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) to support the statewide deployment of its AI gun detection technology across school districts, further advancing its mission to protect communities nationwide.

Protecting Public Transportation Systems

The company also saw increased adoption from the private sector and continued to expand its footprint within public transportation systems. To meet this growing demand, ZeroEyes doubled the size of the industry’s only fully in-house, U.S.-based operations center, staffed 24/7/365 by specially trained U.S. military and law enforcement veterans.

How ZeroEyes Works

ZeroEyes' AI gun detection and intelligent situational awareness software layers onto existing digital security cameras. If a gun is identified, images are instantly shared with the ZeroEyes Operations Center (ZOC). If these experts determine the threat is valid, they dispatch alerts and actionable intelligence — including visual description, gun type, and last known location — to law enforcement and local security teams as quickly as three to five seconds from detection.

“We’ve always aimed to give communities and organizations the tools they need to feel and be safe,” said Mike Lahiff, CEO and cofounder of ZeroEyes. “I’m inspired every day by the dedication of our team and partners, and by the real difference our technology is making in protecting people. We remain committed to innovation, reliability, and supporting those on the front lines of safety.” Reflecting the strength of ZeroEyes’ dedication and growth, Lahiff earned the 2025 EY Entrepreneur Of The Year Greater Philadelphia Award.

Future Deployment Opportunities

In the year ahead, ZeroEyes will expand where and how its technology is deployed, extending from mobility platforms and first-responder drones to advanced computer vision capabilities such as intrusion detection and emerging-threat object detection.
