A firearm safety sensing system for the monitoring and detection of firearm movement including a firearm storage device configured to store a firearm, a firearm monitoring device including one or more processors, sensors, and communication interfaces. The sensors are positioned to sense when either the firearm stored in the firearm storage device and/or the firearm storage device changes position relative to the sensors and may detect when the firearm storage device has been opened or unlocked. The processor receives sense signals, determine whether the sense signal represents a change in position of the firearm relative to the sensors, and send, via a communication interface and firearm monitoring device, a change in position notification to the user and may receive instructions to execute from the user. A user may manually or automatically prevent the firearm storage device from being opened. Multi-factor authentication may be enabled if power or communications are disrupted.

A system for providing discharge monitoring of a firearm includes an event detection module, an event detection module housing, and a signal processing module. The event detection module has a sensor that senses an acceleration and generates an acceleration signal. The event detection module housing houses the event detection module. The signal processing module receives the acceleration signal and determines whether the acceleration signal is a discharge event and generates an event detection signal based on the determination, the signal processing module is further configured to maintain a shot count of the firearm based on the determination that the event detection signal is a discharge event. The event detection module is coupled to a quick change barrel of the firearm. The event detection module generates the event detection signal specific to the quick change barrel of the firearm; and determines a shot count of the quick change barrel.

A system for providing discharge monitoring of a firearm includes a first sensor, a second sensor and an event detection module. The first sensor is disposed on the firearm that senses a first acceleration along a first axis and sends a first input signal. The second sensor is disposed on the firearm that senses a second environmental variable and sends a second input signal. The event detection module receives the first input signal and compares the first acceleration to an acceleration threshold indicative of a shot; receives the second input signal and compares the second input signal to a second threshold indicative of a shot; determines whether a discharge has occurred based on both the first signal satisfying the acceleration threshold and the second input signal satisfying the second threshold; and generates an event detection signal based on the determination.
