How quickly can we screen students?

With Evolv, schools maintain smooth, on-time operations and eliminate bottlenecks at entry points. Each single-lane system can screen over 2,000 people per hour, and dual-lane setups handle more than 4,000 people per hour—a dramatic increase over conventional checkpoints. This level of speed and precision ensures efficient, respectful entry while keeping learning on schedule.

What about backpacks?

Only check a backpack if the Red Box™ pinpoints an alert on the bag

How does the Red Box™ work?

The system’s Red Box visually identifies where a threat is detected— reducing unnecessary pat-downs and supporting respectful, studentcentered screenings.

Is it easy for staff to use?

With its intuitive interface, Evolv Express® requires no specialized training or certifications. School personnel can operate systems confidently and competently with only brief instruction.

What threats does the system look for?

Combining millimeter-wave sensors with Evolv Cortex AI®, Evolv Express® can detect a broad spectrum of threats—including metallic weapons, such as firearms, tactical knives, and explosives. This capability goes far beyond other smart metal/weapons detectors and supports proactive school safety strategies.

Can Evolv Express be used outdoors?

Evolv Express® units are designed for indoor and outdoor use, with mobility features that allow for setup or relocation in under 10 minutes. Weather-resistant, stable and functional in windy conditions, they are ideal for both daily use and special events.

Can systems be managed from a central location?

Evolv Insights® provides real-time dashboards and mobile access for school and district administrators to monitor and control system performance:

• Live Dashboards: Monitor throughput, detection rates, and alert trends

• System Management: control system settings and make changes from your computer or mobile app

• Automated Reports: Support board presentations, grants, and audits

• Mobile Access: Stay informed on the go

Does Evolv store student data?

No. Evolv ensures privacy while keeping schools safe.
