Evolv Express^®:
AI Walk-Through Weapons Detection

Evolv Express® was designed to deliver high-confidence detection of firearms but will also alert on some metallic knives. Knife detection varies based on the size, shape, and metal in the knife.

No. It creates its own private Wi‑Fi network for tablets, but you can also use wired connections.

Every environment is unique. One operator is typically enough in low‑flow situations. Busy entrances usually require two operators for one lane or four operators for two lanes.

Evolv Express® is equipped with wheels and handles to support mobility. The setup takes about five minutes.

Evolv provides hands‑on training to ensure teams are confident operating Evolv Express® from day one. A dedicated Evolv team delivers onsite training during deployment, with ongoing education available through Evolv Academy, including certified operator courses, an admin‑level course with reporting for supervisors, and vertical‑specific training webinars offered throughout the year.

Evolv provides technical support via phone and email, as well as onsite field support when needed, for the full subscription term. Support is included with Evolv’s software, services, and Express systems; however, customers are responsible for using and maintaining Express systems in accordance with Evolv’s provided documentation.

Customers can choose to subscribe or buy the hardware. Customers must have an active Software and Services subscription to use the hardware.

Yes. People can walk through Evolv Express® with bags. In environments with high metallic clutter in bags, alert rates may increase, which is common across weapons detection systems. For these scenarios, pairing Express with Evolv eXpedite™ for bag screening aims to reduce alerts while allowing Express to operate at optimal sensitivity. It allows both people and bags to be screened efficiently.

The Evolv tablet is designed to empower security teams by providing clear, actionable information on who alerted the Express system, and where the potential threat may be located. It also provides alert images for Evolv eXpedite™, showing the bag that alerted, as well as a detailed X-ray image to support secondary screening.

Yes, with Evolv Express® you can integrate directly with Genetec Security Center, Milestone XProtect, and Titan HST. In addition, partners and customers can create integrations of their own using Evolv’s Open API. These integrations are designed to bring Evolv Express alerts, metadata, and threat images into third-party security systems. Additionally, if using the optional front/rear facing situational awareness cameras built into Express, you can stream the video directly into your Security Operations Center (SOC), Video Management System (VMS) or other video analytics system.

Evolv Express® can screen up to 4,000 people per hour for a dual-lane system, with throughput dependent on the venue’s sensitivity settings and threat resolution process. Families and groups can enter a venue together at their normal walking pace, aiming to provide a welcoming experience that seeks to maintain dignity and may accelerate entry for guests, students, patients, employees, and beyond.

Evolv Express is intended to be user-friendly for security and non-security professionals. The Red Box on the Evolv tablet, which identifies the potential threat location, is designed to help operators reduce search time and speed up resolution.

Yes, the system has built-in wheels allowing it to be moved for your venue and facility needs. Weather-resistant covers are provided for transportation and storage.

Yes, all current models of Evolv Express (Gen 2) are outdoor capable. For previous generations (Gen 1), there are indoor and outdoor systems. The outdoor model is more durable for operation in wet weather and temperature extremes and is portable over rough surfaces.
