Graffiti Buster™ is an intelligent acoustic detection system developed by JOANNEUM RESEARCH to combat vandalism quickly and effectively. It identifies the distinctive sound patterns of spray cans—whether being shaken or sprayed—and triggers an alert within just two seconds. The system’s advanced signal processing allows it to detect incidents even when the source is out of sight, such as around corners or behind obstacles.TM
Compact, weather-resistant, and designed for discreet installation, Graffiti Buster™ is ideal for protecting both stationary and mobile infrastructure, such as public transit vehicles. It provides location-specific alerts without recording any sensitive data, ensuring full privacy compliance while helping authorities intervene quickly, reduce damage, and deter repeat offenses.
