Community Video Surveillance

Gigapixel Analytics Community AI Surveillance Camera

Viseum Safe City Community Surveillance Programmes are expanding globally. This is an installation by London’s Metropolitan Police. After just a few days, a community installation captured a serious incident that is usually missed. This created a strong deterrent and a new policing initiative to reduce crime. Read how Community SafetyWatch builds safer communities and safer cities. It also shows how business and residential communities save the high costs of insurance premiums. Protected by Viseum Community SafetyWatch AI surveillance cameras, high-crime hotspots became no-crime neighbourhoods.

At night a car was out of control. The Viseum Safe City programme automatically detected it as a high risk. The car overturned. The driver climbed out of the passenger seat and ran away. The ONE Viseum IMC (Intelligent Moving Camera) captured everything. It captured all the high-quality close-up video of the crime. Throughout the many different areas of the Community Surveillance Programme, it also captured clear identification of witnesses and their vehicle number plates.

Community surveillance programme performance

As the driver ran away, the Viseum IMC automatically followed him. In practice, he ran along a road until he was almost out of sight. Amazingly, he then ran all the way back to his overturned car. He climbed back into his car for a few seconds. It appeared that he had forgotten something that could identify him as the driver. He then made his escape again running along a different road. The same one Viseum camera still automatically followed his every move. Again, he was almost out of sight, but he turned back again. This time he walked slowly and it became clear that he was drunk. He stopped at a distant corner. He attempted to hide and see if the police had arrived. The Viseum camera then automatically zoomed into him again capturing high-quality close-up identification of his face and clothing.

Community insurance premiums

Viseum Community SafetyWatch surveillance programmes are usually supported with just a few Viseum cameras. This is because these cameras cover such large areas effectively. This is the key factor in making Viseum’s shared surveillance programmes economically possible. This surveillance programme was successful with just one Viseum camera covering the whole area, operating completely automatically with no human intervention until images are needed. After this example, more police are deploying more Viseum cameras. This community has justified cheaper insurance premiums. We at Viseum are committed to maintaining this level of expertise in all Viseum Community SafetyWatch installations.
