VSBLTY Groupe Technologies Corp, a leading software provider of AI-driven security and retail analytics technology, today announced that it has changed its Vector™ Weapons Recognition product from CPU-only to Intel® CPU + Intel GPU compute power of the Intel Data Center GPU Flex 170. The result is a significant improvement in weapons detection by significantly reducing false positives.
VSBLTY’s AI-driven software Vector provides early threat detection using enhanced facial recognition, and the ability to identify weapons, utilizing surveillance cameras to observe a wide area around protected sites.
A GPU (graphics processing unit) is a specialized processor that is particularly well suited for parallel computation, such as 3D graphics and AI algorithms. VSBLTY Vector is using the Intel Data Center GPU Flex 170 to run large complex AI-based computer vision weapons recognition algorithms providing high detection accuracy while simultaneously reducing false positives.
The Vector system can monitor in real time hundreds, even thousands, of cameras simultaneously over a wide area and can detect firearms at a distance. When the system detects a threat via facial recognition, or weapon recognition, it immediately contacts a 24/7 manned security operations center (SOC) where a trained officer does an instant threat assessment and then takes the appropriate actions. If a threat is confirmed, simultaneously both law enforcement and the security personnel at the protected site (e.g., school, hospital, shopping mall, house of worship, etc.) are immediately alerted so threat mitigation procedures can be implemented.

In making the announcement, VSBLTY Co-founder & CEO Jay Hutton said, “The Intel Data Center GPU Flex 170 compute power enables our technology to be proactive and do its job quicker and with more accuracy. This improved accuracy will enable faster threat confirmations to call centers and permit first responders to act on threats in just seconds. I am very proud of our development team that continues to drive our technology to better serve our clients and ultimately to save lives.”
The enhanced technology enables improved VSBLTY weapons recognition for multiple camera streams per GPU and multiple GPUs per system to provide safety and security for much larger areas.
