Evolv Express is an AI-powered weapons detection system that screens people for concealed threats without requiring them to stop, empty pockets, or walk through traditional metal detectors. Schools, businesses, stadiums, and government facilities across Albuquerque use this touchless security screening technology to identify guns, knives, and explosives while people walk through at a natural pace. The system can screen up to 3,600 people per hour—that's 10 times faster than conventional metal detectors.
Traditional security screening creates bottlenecks and frustrates everyone. Long lines form at entrances while people empty their pockets, remove belts, and shuffle through one at a time. Evolv Express eliminates that entire hassle by letting people walk through at normal speed while AI analyzes threats in real-time.
Evolv Express combines several technologies to screen people as they pass through the system:
The system's AI has been trained on millions of screening events. It recognizes the unique characteristics of weapons while filtering out phones, laptops, keys, and other items people normally carry. This means fewer false alarms compared to traditional metal detectors.
When someone walks through carrying a potential weapon, the system alerts security staff through a tablet. The tablet shows exactly where on the person's body the item is located, allowing for targeted secondary screening instead of invasive full-body searches.
Schools need to keep students safe without creating an environment that feels like a prison. Evolv Express lets schools screen students quickly during morning arrival without long lines or awkward procedures. Students walk through at normal speed—no stopping, no emptying backpacks, no delays.
Many Albuquerque area schools install the system at main entrances or deploy it for special events like football games and assemblies. The fast screening prevents lines that would otherwise delay the start of school.
Companies concerned about workplace violence use Evolv Express at building entrances. The system screens employees and visitors without disrupting normal traffic flow. This maintains a professional atmosphere while providing protection against threats.
For businesses looking to upgrade their security infrastructure, professional Evolv weapons detection installation from Wired NM ensures proper setup and integration with existing access control and camera systems.
Sports arenas, concert halls, and theaters need to screen thousands of people before events start. Traditional metal detectors create massive bottlenecks with 30+ minute wait times. Evolv Express screens people in just minutes, creating happier guests and smoother operations.
Traditional metal detectors screen 200-400 people per hour. Evolv Express screens up to 3,600 people per hour. During peak times—like morning school drop-off or pre-event crowds—this speed difference becomes critical.
Standard metal detectors alert on everything: keys, belt buckles, phones, loose change. Security staff waste time investigating items that aren't threats. Evolv's AI filters out everyday objects automatically, reducing false alarms by up to 75%.
Nobody enjoys emptying pockets and removing shoes at security checkpoints. Evolv Express lets people walk through naturally without preparation. This creates a welcoming environment while maintaining high security standards.
Traditional checkpoints require multiple security officers to monitor machines, conduct pat-downs, and check bags. Evolv Express needs fewer staff because the AI handles screening automatically. Officers only intervene when actual threats are detected. According to Evolv Technology, facilities using their systems report significant reductions in security staffing costs while maintaining or improving security effectiveness.
Traditional metal detectors use simple electromagnetic fields to detect any metal object. They can't distinguish between a gun and a laptop—everything metal triggers an alarm.
Evolv Express uses sophisticated sensors and AI algorithms trained to recognize weapon signatures specifically. The system understands context and makes intelligent decisions about actual threats versus harmless items.
When metal detectors alarm, security staff don't know what triggered it or where it's located. They must conduct broad searches to find the problem. Evolv's tablet shows exactly where a potential threat is on the person's body, allowing quick, respectful secondary checks.
Professional installation is essential for Evolv systems. The equipment requires proper electrical connections, network setup, and calibration to operate at peak performance. Professional installers ensure smooth integration with your existing security infrastructure.
Privacy is a common concern with AI technology. Evolv Express does not use facial recognition or capture identifying images. The system only detects weapon signatures and alerts security staff to potential threats. It complies with privacy regulations for schools and businesses.
Consider AI weapons detection if your organization faces these challenges:
Schools with hundreds of students arriving in short windows particularly benefit from the screening speed. High-security businesses value thorough screening without invasive procedures. Entertainment venues appreciate improved guest experience and reduced wait times.
Evolv Express represents a significant advancement in security screening technology. The combination of AI-powered detection, faster throughput, and improved user experience makes it a strong alternative to traditional metal detectors for schools, businesses, and facilities that need efficient, effective weapons screening.
If you're considering upgrading your facility's security screening capabilities, professional installation ensures optimal performance and proper integration with existing security systems.
