Single unit outdoor gunshot detection

An apparatus for gunshot analysis comprising:

• one or more infrared sensors of a gunshot sensor device, wherein the one or more infrared sensors collect infrared information in a near-infrared (NIR) band;
• one or more acoustic sensors of the gunshot sensor device that are co-located in a gunshot sensor device unit with the one or more infrared sensors;
• an analysis device, coupled to the one or more infrared sensors and the one or more acoustic sensors, wherein the analysis device comprises at least one processing element;
• a communication device, coupled to the analysis device, wherein the communication device provides notification of a gunshot detection, based on an output from the analysis device;
• and
• a power source, co-located with the gunshot sensor device unit, wherein the power source energizes the one or more infrared sensors, the one or more acoustic sensors, the analysis device, and the communication device.

A computer system for gunshot analysis comprising:

• a memory which stores instructions;
• one or more processors coupled to the memory wherein the one or more processors, when executing the instructions which are stored, are configured to:
• collect, by one or more infrared sensors of a gunshot sensor device, infrared information in a near-infrared (NIR) band;
• collect, by one or more acoustic sensors of the gunshot sensor device that are co-located in a gunshot sensor device unit with the one or more infrared sensors, acoustic information;
• and
• detect a gunshot using the gunshot sensor device based on analysis of the infrared information and the acoustic information.
