General information
- Short Summary
- A Czech tech company offers a security technology that uses AI analysis of audio events to immediately detect unusual and critical sounds that might signalise dangerous situations. It can be easily integrated into existing camera and surveillance systems or operated as a standalone unit. The SME seeks distributors, system integrators and end-users operating in security-sensitive environments for deployment and commercial agreements with technical assistance. R&D partners are sought as well.
- Full Description
-
The Czech company was founded in 2014 by a team of engineers with extensive experience in embedded systems and mobile application development. They have developed a device that monitors sound events in the environment in real time and uses AI to instantly detect critical or threatening sounds such as gunshots, panicked screams, breaking glass, aggressive behaviour, spray paint (graffiti) during acts of vandalism, power tools like grinders or drills (used by vandals to destroy and steal property), drones, fireworks and sirens. Once the device detects an unwanted acoustic event, it sends an alert to the police or security personnel within a few seconds and enables them to respond immediately.
The device is designed to enhance security in both public spaces and the private sector, and can be used both indoors and outdoors. There are two types of solutions – software-based and hardware-based. The software-based solution involves installing third-party software directly into CCTV cameras. For the hardware-based option, there are three versions available: indoor, outdoor, and outdoor with a built-in camera.
The acoustic events are processed directly in the device which means that the solution is 100% GDPR compliant. It works on a GSM or Ethernet network and requires minimum data to operate. The device is capable of detecting dangerous sounds up to 250 metres away.
Typically, the technology is used in smart cities (placed on busy streets), banks, healthcare facilities, industrial halls, educational institutions, airports, public and private spaces.
Having been fully developed and tested, the technology is now ready for deployment and is already in use in many cities throughout Europe, Brazil, and the USA. A first proof of concept has been successfully established in Germany.
The Czech company seeks to expand the reach of its technology into new regions and is seeking distribution partners. It offers comprehensive technical and marketing support, including full documentation and training programs. Furthermore, the company seeks municipalities, hospitals, airports, or natural parks, critical infrastructure, private properties to implement the solution. The SME is also open to other types of cooperation such as common R&D projects focused on improving security technologies. - Advantages and Innovations
-
• Brings faster emergency response from several minutes to 5 seconds.
• Unlike cameras that may have limitations in dark or foggy environments, the technology is not
dependent on visibility. It can “hear” events outside the field of view of the cameras, ensuring
complete coverage and early detection of dangerous situations.
• 100% GDPR compliance - no sound is recorded – the device only sends meta-information, so the
privacy of people is fully respected.
• The company is able to create a customised solution by expanding the sound event database.
• The sound event detector can easily be linked to the city's CCTV and security systems, enabling
more effective response to crisis situations.
• Can be used anywhere – even in places where CCTV cameras are not possible or sufficient – parks,
remote locations etc.
• Can be integrated with 3rd party software and hardware. Thus, customers using these cameras do
not need any special equipment and can integrate the software inside the camera and equip the
camera with an external microphone. - Stage of Development

Partner Sought
- Expected Role of a Partner
-
The Czech company is currently looking for:
• Distributors and system integrators to cooperate on implementing the technology into broader
security and monitoring systems. These partners may be involved in projects for smart cities,
industry, airports, schools, and other critical infrastructures.
• End-user organisations (e.g. municipalities, hospitals, airports, or natural parks, critical infrastructure,
private properties) in the context of joint pilot projects, technological integration, or R&D initiatives
aimed at improving safety and situational awareness.
• Partnerships for joint research and development activities focused on enhancing security
technologies.
Cooperation is envisaged under commercial agreements with technical assistance or research and development cooperation agreements. - Type and Size of Partner
