AI-Powered Security for Every Campus — From Elementary Schools to Universities

Weapons Detection with ZeroEyes

Kognition integrates with ZeroEyes, the leading AI-based gun detection platform, to identify brandished firearms on camera feeds in real time. When a weapon is detected, alerts are pushed instantly to security staff, school resource officers, campus police, and local law enforcement — cutting response times from minutes to seconds.

This combination of Kognition’s camera intelligence platform and ZeroEyes’ weapons detection gives K-12 schools and universities alike a layered defense system that works with the cameras already installed on campus.

Watchlist Alerts for Known Threats

Kognition Watchlist uses facial recognition to instantly flag individuals who should not be on campus:

• Registered sex offenders — Automatically alert when a flagged individual appears on any camera.
• Expelled or suspended students — Prevent unauthorized re-entry to K-12 campuses.
• Custody dispute individuals — Ensure only authorized guardians access school property.
• Banned or trespassed persons — Enforce campus-specific restricted persons lists across K-12 and university campuses.
• Persons of interest — Flag individuals involved in Title IX cases, restraining orders, or ongoing investigations.

Alerts are delivered in real time to designated staff, with photo verification and camera location — so your team knows exactly where to respond.

Campus Perimeter & After-Hours Monitoring

Kognition People detects and tracks human activity across your entire campus — indoors and out. Set up automated rules for:

• Perimeter intrusion — Detect individuals crossing fence lines or entering restricted zones.
• After-hours alerts — Flag any human presence in buildings or zones outside operating hours.
• Loitering detection — Identify individuals lingering near entrances, playgrounds, parking areas, or residence halls.
• Open campus monitoring — For universities without physical perimeters, define virtual boundaries around key buildings and zones to detect unusual activity.

No more manually scanning dozens — or hundreds — of camera feeds. Kognition watches every angle, 24/7, and alerts your team only when it matters.

Residence Hall & Building Access Intelligence

For colleges and universities with on-campus housing:

• Tailgating detection — Identify when unauthorized individuals follow residents through secured doors.
• Propped door alerts — Detect doors held or blocked open that compromise building security.
• Occupancy monitoring — Track real-time headcounts in common areas, study rooms, and event spaces.
• Late-night activity tracking — Monitor building entry points during high-risk overnight hours.

Stadium, Arena & Large Event Security

College sports events, graduations, and campus festivals bring massive crowds that require intelligent security:

• Crowd density monitoring — Real-time detection of dangerous crowd conditions and bottlenecks.
• Watchlist screening at scale — Scan thousands of attendees against threat databases as they enter venues.
• Capacity compliance — Automated alerts when sections or venues approach safety limits.
• Incident detection — Identify fights, falls, or other incidents in real time across dozens of camera feeds.

Research Lab & Restricted Facility Monitoring

Universities house sensitive research that requires security beyond standard badge access:

• Access verification — Confirm that only authorized personnel enter controlled research spaces.
• After-hours presence detection — Alert when individuals are in restricted labs outside approved hours.
• Tailgating prevention — Detect unauthorized entry behind badge-holders at secured lab doors.

Parking & Vehicle Intelligence

Kognition Vehicles adds a layer of intelligence to campus parking infrastructure:

• License plate recognition — Identify flagged or stolen vehicles across parking lots and garages.
• Parking structure monitoring — Detect loitering, tailgating, and suspicious behavior in high-risk garage environments.
• Traffic flow analysis — Understand vehicle entry/exit patterns to optimize campus traffic and identify vulnerabilities.

Visitor Management & People Counting

Know exactly who is on campus and how many people are in each area:

• Occupancy counting — Real-time headcounts for auditoriums, cafeterias, gymnasiums, student centers, and event spaces.
• Capacity compliance — Automated alerts when rooms approach fire code or safety limits.
• Traffic flow analysis — Understand entry/exit patterns to optimize security staffing and identify vulnerabilities.
• Visitor management integration — Works alongside systems like Raptor to provide a complete picture of campus visitors.
