On: ShotSpotter: listening in on the neighborhood

Maybe? I thought it was the same system of microphones just mounted on a vehicle, maybe it was different.

Anyway, they found it unhelpful. "Wouldn't even notice our own gun shots" and stuff like that.

Yeah, you’re thinking of Boomerang. ShotSpotter did some limited body-worn stuff for the military back in the day, but the vehicle mounted stuff is all Boomerang. Entirely different approaches (distributed microphones vs. a single microphone array at the expected target) done by different companies.
