ZeroEyes Partners With Samson Security Fire & Facilities to Bring Human-Verified Threat Detection to the United Kingdom

US/UK Collaboration Will Showcase Visual Gun and Knife Detection Technology at International Security Expo 2026 In London

PHILADELPHIA and LIVERPOOL, United Kingdom, Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ZeroEyes, creators of the leading multi-analytics weapons detection and threat intelligence platform, today announced a partnership with Samson Security Fire & Facilities to expand the availability of ZeroEyes’ visual threat detection capabilities across the United Kingdom. The companies will demonstrate the technology in Booth F61 at the International Security Expo, taking place 29-30 September 2026 at Olympia London.

Through the partnership, Samson will offer UK organizations access to ZeroEyes’ proactive AI weapon detection and intelligent situational awareness technology, designed to identify visible firearms and knives through existing CCTV infrastructure. The platform applies analytics to live camera feeds and sends potential detections to trained human analysts for verification before issuing an alert to designated security personnel and first responders.

The partnership combines ZeroEyes’ threat detection technology with Samson’s UK-based security, monitoring and response capabilities. Together, the companies will help organizations add a proactive layer to their existing security programmes without requiring them to replace their current camera systems.

“Samson has the experience, relationships and operational capabilities needed to bring our technology to organizations throughout the UK,” said Mike Lahiff, co-founder and CEO of ZeroEyes. “This partnership represents an important step in our international growth and advances our shared goal of helping security teams identify visible threats earlier and respond with actionable intelligence.”

ZeroEyes’ platform builds on its proven visual firearm-detection technology, which is deployed across the United States and has generated thousands of verified weapon dispatches, including dozens of alerts that have contributed to arrests. The expanded Analytics Suite adds visual knife detection, intrusion detection, left-behind-object detection, crowd formation and camera-health monitoring across an organization’s existing camera infrastructure. Initial knife-detection deployments are producing promising, actionable results, helping security teams identify potential threats and intervene sooner. The platform also provides public-safety alerts and does not use facial recognition or behavioral tracking.

ZeroEyes’ software layers onto existing digital security cameras. If a gun or knife is identified, images are instantly shared with the ZeroEyes Operations Center (ZOC), the industry’s only U.S.-based, fully in-house operations center staffed 24/7/365 by specially trained U.S. military and law enforcement veterans. If the threat is determined to be valid, alerts and actionable intelligence - including visual description, weapon type, and last known location - are dispatched to law enforcement and local security teams, often in a matter of seconds from the moment the threat is detected.

“UK organizations are looking for practical ways to gain more value from their existing CCTV investments and strengthen their ability to respond to developing threats,” said Zara Richards, Principal of Samson Security Fire & Facilities. “By combining ZeroEyes’ analytics and human verification with Samson’s integrated security and response services, we can provide customers with a more complete and proactive approach to protecting people and property.”

The partnership comes as UK organizations prepare for the implementation of the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, commonly known as Martyn’s Law. The legislation establishes preparedness and protective-security requirements for certain public premises and events. Although no single technology provides compliance on its own, human-verified threat detection can support a broader, layered approach to security, situational awareness and emergency response.
