One control room, then a whole country

An operator works an alert through a guided procedure. Control rooms, city masters and a national centre then link up, with a hot backup at every level.

Places where many people gather are targets for crime, disorder and mass killings. In practice, these areas have always been the most technically problematic to deliver security.

Smart City AI Surveillance Camera

Viseum innovators predicted this as far back as the year 2000. Viseum’s business delivering Safe Cities has gone from strength to strength ever since. The AI Surveillance Technology innovation for solving this major problem is a proven breakthrough in security and surveillance. It solves the many problems with standalone video surveillance systems, remote operator monitored surveillance and manned guarding patrols. Also, each camera installation uniquely monitors and follows over 100 times more people and vehicles. One Viseum camera does the work of 6 constantly manned cameras, a Metropolitan Police surveillance officer reported. It can automatically detect and enforce over 15 times more incidents and traffic violations.

“The smartest city AI surveillance cameras” (Metropolitan Police)

The appearance of the Viseum 360 Security Camera, constantly protecting all surroundings, shows everyone that the entire site is constantly watched by many surveillance experts. It is the only AI surveillance camera that automatically detects multiple incidents from short range to long range. It works in all directions at the same time.

Safe City video surveillance was an initiative invented by Viseum UK in the year 2000

The Smart AI surveillance camera is sophisticated software and multiple cameras with fixed and moving lenses. It operates completely automatically to monitor large populated areas for anomalies. It helps Local Authorities’ surveillance services deliver smarter services with lower ongoing operational costs. It also gives the significant added benefit of meeting the public’s privacy concerns.

In 2003, the UK DTI (UK Department of Trade and Industry) offered its largest financial Smart Award for this invention. By 2004 the successes of its first installations were highly publicised. Now, Viseum International Limited and its certified partners, trading under the brand name Viseum UK Group, are well known at the forefront of the security industry for introducing advanced Safe City AI Surveillance Technologies. They help existing Town Centre Regeneration Projects and new Safe City developments deliver stronger security.

Safe City Case Study 1

UK Member of Parliament and Lord Commissioner of Her Majesty’s Treasury, The Rt Hon David Evennett said, “I met with Viseum and was impressed by their innovations. I wish Viseum UK every success with their exciting solutions.”

Stuart Thompson, President of the Viseum UK Group and CEO of Viseum International Limited, said, “We have continued to maintain our more than 10-year lead in Public Safety and today’s Safe City initiatives, and in how to introduce this reassurance to the world.”

A quantum leap in technology

By 2007 the UK Government’s National CCTV Strategy Board published a report on the failures of new and legacy video surveillance, describing the need for Viseum.

Stuart Thompson adds, “Testament to this is being granted 20 years’ technology protection.” As with all of the world’s proven quantum leaps in technology, it does not have any technical competition.

Viseum Safe Cities

The Viseum 360 Security Camera gives 360 coverage and automatic close-up evidence from one camera. See our innovation record. Today, this is growing Viseum’s Safe City sales faster than ever. Security requirements are more demanding than ever. Security equipment must consistently deliver results. None of Viseum’s rivals can deliver this as standard.

Combined, the two concepts of ‘Smart City’ and ‘Safe City’ create a market worth many billions. In ‘Safe City’ terms, these are the areas covered by Viseum UK’s expertise: video content analytics, command control systems, PSIM software (physical security information management), and mobile video surveillance.
