Viseum Community SafetyWatch for the CCTV User Group

Viseum gave a live field demonstration of an installation in London. The UK’s CCTV User Group attended. That group sits on the UK’s Commissioners Standards Group, Standards Board and Advisory Council. It endorsed the Viseum Community SafetyWatch concept and its technology with this quote:

“This Community video surveillance makes us all safer and keeps privacy intact.”
(CCTV User Group)

“Well-designed and well-managed AI situational awareness systems in the UK have proved themselves to be valuable tools in the reduction of antisocial behaviour and criminal activity and in the post-incident identification of offenders.

Monitoring an area properly needs many cameras, a transmission system and a control facility that records the images well. Until now these costs have made it uneconomic to monitor small local shopping parades or residential areas.

I was personally very impressed with this demonstration of Viseum technology that has now overcome virtually all of these constraints and provides a well-engineered system at a cost that makes it a viable solution for both smaller Neighbourhood Watch groups and groups of retailers.

Apart from the technology involved, the whole concept of using it as a prime element of a Community Safety system is a major step forward, and I was equally impressed by the detailed work undertaken by Viseum in developing the necessary procedures to take into account all the legislative implications in respect of Data Protection and Human Rights for systems used for Public Safety surveillance.”

“The value of this AI surveillance camera’s deterrent is immense.”
