How Entry Shield Works

A complete security ecosystem that detects threats, monitors access points, and notifies your team instantly—all working together seamlessly.

The Entry Shield Ecosystem

Four integrated layers of protection working together to secure your facility.

Detection

Screen & Flow weapons detection at entry points

Door Management

Door monitoring on interior & exterior doors

Physical Barriers

Window laminate to delay forced entry

Notification

Instant alerts to your entire team

All systems connected One app Instant awareness

Weapons Detection: Step by Step

From entry to alert in under 2 seconds.

Step 1

Person Approaches Entry

A visitor, student, or employee approaches your facility entrance. They walk at normal speed carrying their personal items—bags, phones, keys. No stopping required.

Normal Entry Flow

No queues, no removal of items

Step 2

CEIA OpenGate Scans

As they walk through the Screen & Flow system, CEIA's advanced electromagnetic sensors scan for weapons. Algorithms distinguish between threats (guns, knives) and harmless items (phones, wallets, keys).

Algorithmic Detection

Near-zero false alarms

If Clear

Entry Continues

If no threat is detected, the person continues into the facility without any interruption. They may not even realize they were screened. 3,600+ people per hour can flow through seamlessly.

All Clear

Seamless entry experience

If Threat Detected

Photo Captured

If a weapon is detected, a high-resolution photo is instantly captured of the person. This happens automatically—no manual intervention required.

Photo Documentation

Instant visual record

Step 4

Team Notified Instantly

The photo and alert are sent simultaneously to every member of your security team via the Entry Shield app. Everyone knows who, what, and where—instantly.

Simultaneous Notification

Entire team informed at once

Step 5

Coordinated Response

Your team responds knowing exactly who to look for. The photo eliminates confusion. Response is immediate and coordinated—no time lost relaying information.

Immediate Action

No confusion, no delays
