All your questions answered

The system typically detects a gun in the first 400 milliseconds (ms) to 2 seconds. However, the total response time might vary. If you’re using modern IP cameras, there may be a slight delay in the video stream, usually less than a second. If the system is set up on the cloud, additional time might be added for the video to reach the cloud and for the response to get to the dashboard. All these factors can affect the overall response time.
