GUNSENS

1. Overview of Gunsens Gunsens is a next-generation safety platform that integrates autonomous AI agents, panic buttons, and bodycams to detect and respond to gun threats and other emergencies in schools, businesses, and public spaces. 2. Gunsens Alerts Gun threat and SOS alerts are communicated to the public through the Gunsens App and to first responders via direct integration with the 911 Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) system, ensuring rapid response and coordination.

An SOS alert is triggered by clicking the panic button on the Gunsens SOS Remote. The SOS Remote can activate an SOS alert even if the associated smartphone is unreachable or locked.

Alert Management The Gunsens App features two tiers of tab bars for handling alerts. The primary Home Tab Bar provides an overview of active and inactive alerts. When a specific alert is selected, the secondary Alert Tab Bar appears, offering detailed options and actions related to that alert.

Using The Home Tab Bar: Upon opening the Gunsens App, users are directed to the Map screen, which displays active threat alerts and provides access to the Home Tab Bar for managing these alerts. Yellow indicators represent gun threats, while red indicators represent SOS alerts. To view details, tap on a threat notification or one of the alert indicators on the map.

Using The Alert Tab Bar: When an alert is selected, either from the History screen or the Map, the app navigates to the Details screen, where the Alert Tab Bar provides tools for managing tasks related to that specific location. If a Gun Sensor triggered the alert, the Details screen displays a floor plan showing the exact location of the threat, including the floor number.

Different users play different roles in ensuring safety, from receiving notifications to managing alerts, Gun Sensors and SOS Remotes. To handle these varying responsibilities, Gunsens accounts are divided into three membership tiers: Owners, Admins, and Viewers. This hierarchy ensures that every user has appropriate access and control, enhancing the app’s functionality in complex environments like schools, businesses, and public spaces. For instance, a school can purchase Gunsens SOS Remotes for all of its students. The school then invites the students to join its Gunsens account as Viewers. Once students install their SOS Remotes, the school is automatically billed for their monthly monitoring subscriptions. Owners: Add and remove Admins and Viewers. Manage Gun Sensors. Pay for Gun Sensor and SOS Remote subscriptions of Owners, Admins and Viewers. Install their own SOS Remote. Admins: Add and remove Viewers. Manage Gun Sensors. Install their own SOS Remote (with subscription charged to the Owner). Viewers: Use the app without making changes. Install their own SOS Remote (with subscription charged to the Owner) .

Installing Gun Sensors Gunsens Gun Sensors can be purchased from Amazon via the Settings screen. Indoors installation:  Indoors, Gun Sensors are installed similarly to smoke detectors, consisting of a sensor unit and mounting bracket. First, attach the mounting bracket to the ceiling’s electrical box. Then, connect the 110v power from the electrical box to the sensor unit. Finally, twist the sensor unit onto the mounting bracket.  Outdoors installation:  Gunsens Gun Sensors are waterproof and can be installed outdoors like security cameras, on walls or lamp posts. First, attach the mounting bracket to a standard camera mount. Connect the 110v power from the electrical box inside the camera mount to the sensor unit, and twist the sensor unit onto the mounting bracket
