Our story
SDS engineers have a long history of pioneering work in gunshot detection. Our founding engineering team started out building sniper detection technology for the military in the early 2000s. Spurred on by Sandy Hook and other school shootings, we launched our first commercial product in 2015. Since then, we’ve continued to innovate, win awards, and welcome new customers year after year.
Our mission
We are 100% focused on gunshot detection. We know we can’t make gun violence go away. But, as a company, we commit our hearts and minds to reducing its impact and providing solutions that help you sleep at night.
Fueling innovation
As a subsidiary of Alarm.com, one of the biggest and most trusted names in security, we’re able to offer innovative, scalable solutions you can rely on.
Our advisors
SDS advisors offer deep expertise across security, infrastructure, and technology. Their insights and leadership are invaluable, not only to our company, but to our clients and the industry as a whole.
