Amber Box

AmberBox is an indoor gunshot detection company (San Francisco, CA) that builds sensor hardware and a response platform for schools, offices, and public buildings. Its patented tri-factor detection algorithm combines percussion, audio, and infrared signatures to identify a firearm discharge with a near-zero false-alarm rate, then automatically notifies on-site security and law enforcement to cut emergency response time by an average of five minutes. AmberBox integrates with existing physical-security estates (access control, IP video/VMS, PSIM, mass-notification, and fire-alarm-style life-safety systems) via closed-contact relay switches and TCP/IP relay input modules rather than a public developer API. Surfaced as an Uncork Capital portfolio company and added to the API Evangelist network for enrichment; the company publishes no public REST/GraphQL API, developer portal, or SDKs at this time.

Amber Box is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Physical Security, Gunshot Detection, Life Safety, and IoT.

Amber Box’s developer surface includes engineering blog, pricing, support, and 5 more developer resources.
