Your Company Spends More on Coffee Than It Would Cost to Detect a Gunshot
See how the math works, and why the cost of protecting your people is probably lower than you think.
What Does Indoor Gunshot Detection Actually Cost?
Your company probably spends more on coffee than it would cost to detect a gunshot in your building – and it’s not even close. A 100-person company typically spends about $13,200 a year keeping the breakroom stocked. An indoor gunshot detection system from SDS costs roughly half that in Year 1 – about $6,800. After that, it’s just $827 a year. So by Year 3, you’ve spent nearly $40,000 on coffee and less than $8,500 on protecting every person in the building. By Year 5, the difference is over $55,000. We’re not saying cut the coffee budget. We’re saying the cost of safety is probably lower than you think.
How it works
- Acoustic + infrared sensors detect gunfire in under a second
- Automatic alerts to security, law enforcement, and building systems
- Each sensor covers up to 2,500 square feet – a typical 100-person office needs just six
