HOW PREVIA WORKS

From first sign to coordinated response.

PrevIA’s AI detects armed threats — even hidden ones — and coordinates the school’s response automatically, following your approved protocols.

THE PROBLEM

The lock works. Getting to it is the problem.

A locked door and covered glass are among the most effective protections a classroom has. But today, both depend on one person completing several tasks under extreme stress.

Locked doors hold.

The Sandy Hook Advisory Commission found no case in which an active shooter breached a locked classroom door.

Sandy Hook Advisory Commission, Final Report (2015)

Locking under pressure is hard.

In a controlled study, 31% of participants using a traditional keyed classroom lock failed to lock it — with no students, no chaos and no real stress.

Martaindale et al., Journal of Mass Violence Research (2023)

The glass matters.

At Parkland, every shot fired into a classroom came through the door or its window.
