City Regeneration Video Surveillance

Isle of Man Government has come to Viseum’s 360 Security Camera to help protect important conservation areas and for City Regeneration. The island’s cities and political centres have joined many authorities and police forces coming to Viseum. This is for Viseum’s solution to populated wide-area surveillance, including the many challenges of City Regeneration.

Just four Viseum 360 Security Cameras of the Redeployable model have been individually mounted for street deployments. They can be monitored from a central Monitoring room, with digital recording capability at both the camera and at the control room.

Council Leader and Chairman of the Policy and Resources Committee said, “With our city regeneration, many areas are rapidly becoming major entertainment and leisure zones. Extending surveillance coverage has become a priority. Also, the Government fully supports the use of surveillance as it helps protect the public. This acts as a deterrent to antisocial disorder, and footage can be used in court to bring criminals to justice. The police will be happy to monitor the surveillance ‘live’ should they be required to at weekends. The latest surveillance technology will be used. These 4 new redeployable Viseum cameras deliver the performance of at least 200 of the older fixed cameras. The Government’s Parks will be looking at installing similar systems to reduce incidences of vandalism.”

The borough engineer and surveyor, also a lead member of Isle of Man’s Community Safety Partnerships, said, “The areas we’re concerned about are increasing security of our car park, bus stops in the area, access to the marina. The potential for antisocial disorder is associated with an increasing number of licensed and leisure facilities. The Viseum Redeployable cameras use proven technology, so fewer cameras are deployed while offering better coverage and more effective crime detection and prevention, and, importantly, at a fraction of the cost of traditional systems.”

The Isle of Man regeneration installations had an intermittently manned surveillance Command Control, but required cameras performing better than constantly manned ones. Viseum’s Redeployable 360 Security Camera supported all requirements because it helps operators where they are present and works on its own where no staff are available.

Most Public Safety PTZ Cameras have already exceeded their life expectancy. The fact is the limitations of older technologies mean that most of these are pointing the wrong way when crimes occur. Viseum helps clients stay on top of all their camera installations cost-effectively, with fewer cameras and fewer operators. PTZ cameras are being replaced or upgraded to Viseum 360 Security Cameras. Control room staff then spend their time on real incidents, and the project is easier to expand.

To see how well-managed surveillance programmes are now being operated, you can contact Viseum. You can watch real footage, connect to live camera demonstrations and pre-register for coming technology events.
