TruePath Vision rolls out weapon detection for hotels, resorts, and public venues
December 30, 2025 - Charlottesville, VA
TruePath Vision has added weapon detection to its AI computer-vision platform, giving hospitality and event operators real-time threat awareness using the cameras they already own. No new hardware. No major capital project. Faster time to protection.
"By working with the camera systems venues already have, we remove one of the biggest barriers to adoption-cost. Weapon detection allows organizations to strengthen safety without committing to major capital projects or hardware overhauls," said Jason Williamson, CEO of TruePath Vision.
What this means for hotels and venues
- Uses existing IP-based camera systems across properties and event spaces.
- Identifies visible firearms, knives, and other weapons in real time.
- Flags select threat-related behaviors and can be configured for unattended bags or restricted-area access.
- Sends alerts through current monitoring workflows or to mobile devices for faster response.
- Models are tuned for accuracy to help limit false positives and alert fatigue.
- Supports layered security while preserving guest experience and operational flow.
How deployment works
The software connects directly to standard IP camera infrastructure already installed in most hotels, resorts, and venues. That means quicker rollout across multiple properties without disrupting operations.
- Confirm camera and VMS compatibility and prioritize high-traffic zones and chokepoints.
- Define alert thresholds, escalation paths, and who receives mobile notifications.
- Run a limited pilot to calibrate sensitivity and measure false positives.
- Integrate with existing radio/dispatch apps and incident management tools.
- Train security and front-of-house teams on SOPs for verification and response.
- Document privacy, retention, and communication policies before going live.
Where it fits in a layered security program
Weapon detection strengthens early warning without adding friction for guests. It pairs well with visible deterrents and staff training to close gaps between detection and response.
- Combine with access control, visitor management, and event bag policies.
- Use analytics to spot blind spots and adjust camera placement or patrol routes.
- Share alerting protocols with local law enforcement for coordinated response.
- Schedule drills that align with your property's emergency action plan. For reference, see DHS guidance on active shooter preparedness: Ready.gov.
Background and mission
Founded in August 2024 to combat human trafficking, TruePath Vision is backed by the Eagle Freedom Fund (a counter-trafficking investment arm of Eagle Venture Fund) and co-founded by the Eagle Venture Studio. The platform delivers facial matching and AI object detection with real-time alerts and situational awareness, operating 24/7 on existing camera infrastructure across hospitality and event spaces.
Practical next steps for operators
- Audit camera coverage across lobbies, entrances, elevators, garages, and event halls.
- Define the top use cases: early weapon visibility, unattended items, restricted-area breaches.
- Launch a pilot at one flagship property, then standardize SOPs and expand.
- Measure outcomes: time to detect, time to verify, time to resolve, and false-alert rates.
- Brief leadership on cost avoidance versus new hardware buys and the impact on staffing.
