After seeing Viseum IMC cameras monitoring their perimeter and within the perimeter's compound, a city governor said he will save lives by detecting insurgents approaching and infiltrating his city without risking the lives of his guards. The London Mayor’s Office & Metropolitan Police installing Viseum Community SafetyWatch pilots throughout London. "We can have higher levels of safety and security but stop governments snooping on us." “Viseum's Safe City security success is very important to London, the United Kingdom and indeed the rest of the world.”

British AI surveillance manufacturer

Viseum Ethical AI: the surveillance industry standard for automated security and situational awareness

Viseum is a British AI surveillance manufacturer. Viseum designs its cameras and Software Technology Services in Great Britain, and licensed British factories build them. We supply governments, police forces and critical national infrastructure operators. Viseum exports in line with UK export control and sanctions law and applies for an export licence wherever one is required.

Viseum solves the problem of wide-area security and surveillance. Market reports name Viseum among the key players in video content analysis (VCA) and AI video analytics.

The ever-growing range of Viseum Product Solutions is delivered as plug-and-play systems. For select projects, where we do not have certified partners in the region, we are also the main contractor. Customers solve wide-area security problems without replacing the cameras and control rooms they already own. Our core strength is inventing, building and supporting AI Video Analytics Software across many proven technologies.

We were created to solve the problem of public safety. Crime was rising. Control rooms were short of staff. Cities carried far more cameras than any team could watch. The Department of Trade and Industry initially said the technology was impossible. We built it anyway. Our cameras now monitor wide areas on their own. They pioneered one of the world’s first AI markets. That market is forecast to reach $109.85 billion by 2035 (Precedence Research, updated 18 August 2026). It is a testament to the maturity of our technology and our ability to deliver at scale. Today we also optimise new and legacy cameras and Video Management Systems.

Best AI system brand

We are best known for the 360 Security Camera, also called the Viseum Intelligent Moving Camera or Viseum IMC. It places fixed and moving cameras on the same structure. This solves the many problems with standalone security systems, manned surveillance services and manned guarding patrols. It provides:

  • Automated coverage up to the size of 4 Olympic Stadiums from just 1 optical camera. Or, the size of New York City from just 1 thermal camera.
  • The best video information to the right people in live emergencies and rapid investigations.
  • Each camera installation can be managed remotely, which saves site visits and operator time.

A Viseum camera is recognised on sight as a proven deterrent. That recognition was earned over two decades in the most demanding public safety environments in the world. Any lookalike is still only an unregulated copy. It cannot deliver the performance the user is relying on.

British factories and independent evidence

Our cameras and our software come from British factories and British laboratories. We design AI Product Solutions and deliver them as plug-and-play systems.

National security teams and technology advisors need independent evidence before they specify anything. We publish our endorsements and project results in full.

The UK Government’s National Strategy Board reported that this technology was needed, and Viseum’s camera already delivered it.

Best AI System Design

We optimise the strongest security and surveillance system design. Our design expertise optimises the workforce by automatically reducing or eliminating local security threats. At the same time, it eliminates security camera management and running cost problems. No other surveillance system uses people more efficiently, and we make our customers’ surveillance and security enterprise more productive. Our remote monitoring solutions also enhance and replace security guards and manned surveillance services.
