Long shot, but since I updated Blue Iris I noticed there is the option to do sound detection now, with volume and frequency

Has anyone gotten this tuned for gunshots?

Of course testing it is tough... Generally people don't like it when I go out front and fire off guns in the air (Even if everyone else is doing it...)
 
I have set it up but the few times there were gunshots it didn't detect.

But like you said it is hard to test lol.
 
So there are a few things that I do when I am setting up.. I use 22 blanks and 12ga blanks as firing into the air isn't a great idea what goes up must come down.. One 4th of July I was almost hit by someone that shot 00buckshot and one of the led balls landed less then a foot from where I was standing at the time and no clue where the person shot from.. The impact was enough to leave a divot in my concrete driveway where it hit and didn't bounce..
 
My neighbors must have a source of good fireworks because they are setting them off quite frequently throughout the year.
I would assume I would get a lot of false positives if I attempted any kind of gunshot detection.
Most people cannot tell the difference between fireworks and gunshots even though they fervently insist that they can.

Even the shotspotter that many cities use has a hard time. Some cities turn it off on the 4th of July.
Saw a press release that they have a new AI system that is supposedly better at discerning the difference.
