After Brown University: What 1,200 Cameras Don't Tell You About Your Surveillance Gaps

The December 2025 shooting at Brown University exposed a key flaw in modern surveillance strategy: more cameras do not always mean better coverage. Despite operating more than 1,200 cameras, Brown reportedly faced critical blind spots that complicated the response and delayed suspect identification.   In this episode of SecurityDNA, Editorial Director Steve Lasky speaks with ZeroEyes Director of Service Enhancement Vincent Martinez about the lessons from Brown and the Washington Hilton incident, including why strategic camera placement matters more than camera count, how AI gun detection is changing threat response, and the common surveillance mistakes that leave organizations vulnerable. Drawing on experience with DHS tactical response teams and U.S. Army Special Operations Command, Martinez shares practical insights on surveillance audits, active shooter preparedness, red team assessments, and the future of AI-driven threat detection.
