Red Box™ Alert Interface for Security Operators
See the Threat, Act Fast — Evolv Express Tablet & Red Box™ Technology
The Evolv Express® system includes a touchscreen tablet interface that displays real-time alerts to on-site security personnel. When a potential threat is detected, the Red Box™ visual alert shows precisely where the object is located — on the person or in their bag. This allows guards to conduct fast, targeted secondary screening with less guesswork, less friction, and greater confidence.
Pinpoint Accuracy
The system displays a red box highlighting the exact location of the detected threat, reducing bias and improving secondary search efficiency.
Real-Time Operator Awareness
Visual alerts are delivered instantly on a user-friendly tablet, allowing guards to respond immediately without delays or radio relays.
Minimized Invasive Searches
By knowing exactly where to check, teams can avoid full-body pat-downs or bag dumps — improving the guest experience while maintaining safety.
The Intelligence Behind Evolv Express® — Powered by Cortex AI
Evolv Express® is built on Cortex AI™, Evolv's proprietary machine learning platform that drives real-time weapons detection with exceptional speed and accuracy. Trained on vast amounts of real-world data, Cortex AI continually improves its ability to distinguish weapons from everyday items — making Evolv smarter, more accurate, and more reliable with every scan.
Continuously Learns & Adapts
Cortex AI updates through cloud-based learning, refining detection accuracy over time based on real-world data.
Distinguishes Threats from Common Items
The system is trained to ignore phones, keys, and harmless objects — focusing only on real threats like firearms and explosive components.
Delivers Instant Threat Recognition
Cortex AI enables sub-second detection with visual "Red Box" alerts, showing security teams exactly where to respond.
