How It Works

Multi-sensor acoustic detection using time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA) triangulation.

1. Detect

Edge devices with microphones use ML to classify gunshot sounds locally, preserving privacy.

2. Triangulate

Time differences between sensor detections pinpoint the shooter's location using TDOA algorithms.

3. Track

Expanding rings show potential movement. Subsequent shots refine the path and predict trajectory.

4. Alert

Real-time alerts to first responders with location, accuracy, and threat movement data.

Help Save Lives

Stealth Owl is open source because community safety shouldn't be proprietary. Join us in building technology that protects.
