I've tracked this technology since 2003. Safety Dynamics and Shot Spotter are two other technology suppliers for Gunshot.

Safety Dynamics is a product that we have tested extensively and is being supported from Catalina Technologies in CA, ShotSpotter has several installations including Rochester, Chicago and others.

Not sure what the impact will be legally with the patent issued to PSI, Safety Dynamics has the camera integration and SpotShotter is in the process of integrating cameras.
