The modern IT-dominated world is shifting people's preferences towards automation-based solutions and services. Due to its cutting-edge and novel uses, this has resulted in a greater focus on IoT-based gadgets. IoT is a technology that allows for the internet or internetworking to be provided for practically all applications, including cellphones, microwaves, wearable technologies, and buildings. To connect all of these items to a single network, IoT uses electrical software, sensors, and actuators. The Internet of Things (IoT) uses various sensors, including temperature, proximity, and touch. IoT-based devices support both person-to-computer and machine-to-machine (M2M) communication.
Furthermore, over the past several years, there has been an upsurge in shooting events in North America, which has increased the demand for gunshot detection systems in the region. For instance, in June 2021, research from the Everytown Research organization stated that, between 2009 and 2020, there were 20 mass shootings in the United States, resulting in 1,363 fatalities and 97 injuries, or 20 shootings on average each year. These figures are astounding because they only account for a small portion of the people whose lives have been irrevocably altered due to a mass shooting that has paralyzed an entire community with dread and grief. In addition, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention organization revealed in 2021 that in 2020, there were 24,292 suicides and 19,384 homicides by firearm.
