Surveillance British Standards and accreditation

Lower cost, better results

Viseum will deliver better results automatically, costing far less to buy. Running costs are at least 6 times lower each year.

Industry Standard

The video surveillance industry-standard deterrent and automated security and situational awareness

Multitasking with many video analytics systems operating at the same time delivering results for several applications. Installed, maintained and supported as plug-and-play with modular hardware configuration meeting any remote site’s security coverage and surveillance requirements. Solving the many problems with standalone video surveillance systems, manned surveillance services and manned guarding security patrols.

High-End Security

Every threat or disaster needs the same evidence. Footage from before, during and after the incident is critical for the right security response. Enough high-quality video for live surveillance, and to investigate and convict is also essential. At that moment every pixel of video is priceless. Everyone can see the value of your security investment. Viseum also has unmatched value as a deterrent. This is one of the strengths that only Viseum delivers.

Video Analytics Software – Video Surveillance Standards and Accreditation (i-LIDS)

The Home Office Scientific Development Branch, later the Centre for Applied Science and Technology, created i-LIDS. This is the Imagery Library for Intelligent Detection Systems, and it supports British Standards. This organisation was formed in 2004 to regulate the use of fit-for-purpose automated surveillance software. Viseum was the first company to apply for i-LIDS approval. Viseum goes further than i-LIDS. Analytics on the wide view cameras detect the scenario. The system then moves a PTZ Camera to analyse and confirm the incident.

i-LIDS became the UK government benchmark for video analytics, within a more unified approach to security and surveillance. The large Viseum PhD Video Analytics Software network is helping that transition. This includes expertise in specialised processing hardware and software, which is known to be another one of Viseum’s main strengths.

i-LIDS had only standardised some basic detection scenarios, including intruder, parked vehicle, doorway and left baggage. Viseum engineers hold accreditations for these scenarios. They have also written whitepapers on Viseum Certified Algorithms. These cover learning algorithms, scenario based algorithms and several i-LIDS scenarios at once.

Old Standards Video Management System Architecture

Viseum Certified Testing applies our own standard for surveillance and video analytics on top of the required accreditations. Customers have already invested in older systems. A full refit would normally mean new cameras and a new video management system. However, Viseum Software Technology Services are hardware independent. Viseum iVOS, CiVMS and Viseum cameras all work with older systems and with cameras from any maker. Once Viseum Software Technology Services are commissioned, older cameras gain our analytics. The video wall comes to life for the first time. Every sensor and alarm is tuned.

Video Management System Performance-Optimised 24/7/365 Resilience

Another Accredited Video Surveillance Standard is the reliability and operational performance of Viseum Software Systems. We tune heavy analytics so routine and emergency processes run automatically. The result works as one system. If required, the Viseum CiVMS tunes the security architecture around the clock. No operator input is needed until responders are called. Viseum Accredited surveillance designs and standards include:

• Automatic saving of all settings including user interface settings, screen sizes, screen location across multiple monitors.
• Automatic full system restores after unexpected events such as power loss.
• Diagnostics parameters display.
• Flexible distributed architecture with no single point of failure.
• Automated server resource optimisation and prioritisation.
• One-click import and export of all settings for backing up or for replicating the same configuration on another computer.
• Failover management server.
• Redundant recording server.
• Watchdog to monitor application system health.
