Critical infrastructure security cameras

LEVEL 1TECHNOLOGY INTRODUCTION PROGRAMME

Also, the appearance of this Infrastructure Security camera operating automatically, protecting all surroundings, displays to criminals that the entire infrastructure is constantly watched.

• Greater surveillance coverage from fewer Camera Installations.
• More close-up evidence captured automatically.
• Delivering the best security for the highest deterrent.

Today’s Infrastructure Security Video Surveillance Challenges

With today’s security climate of global terrorism, there is a need to combat threats to Infrastructure Security. High-quality close-up video evidence is needed of when, where and how the security of a remote site was breached, causing considerable loss and damage. The event in Algeria in 2013 is an example of where better Infrastructure Security could have helped.

Terrorists and other criminals commit the security breach within just a few carefully planned seconds. But before the availability of Viseum security solutions, collecting good evidence was unreliable. This is because crimes do not happen close up to cameras. Or the incident was missed completely because the camera was pointing the wrong way.

Today’s future-proof Surveillance Camera

The Intelligent 360 Degree Panoramic Surveillance Camera

Viseum UK supplies the only intelligent video surveillance camera in the world to automatically detect multiple attacks in all directions at the same time. It automatically turns a PTZ Camera to capture ID video evidence of intruders before the alarm is raised. It then reports the possible breach for a rapid response.

At the heart of all our intelligent video solutions is the proven Intelligent Panoramic Security Camera. This uses multiple fixed cameras and one moving PTZ Camera in a single unit. Advanced software called Viseum Intelligent Virtual Operator Software (iVOS) detects, zooms into and follows suspects wherever they break into, circulate in or leave the remote site. It is modular hardware, configured to cover anything from a targeted area up to full 360° panoramic coverage: up to the size of 4 Olympic Stadiums using the Optical Panoramic Security Camera, and the area of New York City using the Thermal/Radar Panoramic Security Camera.

Best value surveillance camera for Critical Infrastructure

A Metropolitan Police surveillance officer reported that it would take 6 constantly manned next best PTZ cameras, or 10 of the industry’s latest panoramic megapixel cameras, or 200 standard fixed camera installations, to provide the same level of security that each Viseum Panoramic Security Camera provides without being dependent on any surveillance operators or infrastructure.

Long-term deterrent for Infrastructure Security

The criminal is always deterred where cameras perform as if manned. When they see Viseum’s overt camera model follow them, they believe an active human operator has already spotted them. This deters the threat of a security breach. It does this better than any other crime reduction initiative, short of having resident security staff constantly on alert.

Greater quantity and quality of local camera recordings

The Viseum PTZ Camera points itself to zoom into and follow events of interest. Viseum’s Contextual View Cameras are also valuable during live incidents or post investigations. Images from these cameras and the PTZ’s close-up show what happened and who else is witnessing the incident.

As well as the PTZ cameras’ images usually being recorded centrally, their images and all Viseum’s wide contextual view cameras are stored locally. They are stored with greater quality than can be transmitted over a typical wireless network. This makes them invaluable as primary evidence and as distributed backup storage. This provides resilience against loss of evidence by removing any single point of failure.

Viseum digital integration to command control systems

The Viseum outdoor surveillance camera integrates digitally with command control systems. This eliminates the need for any operator training on the everyday use of Viseum cameras and local DVR, giving a higher level of service with fewer operators. Images from the moving PTZ Camera and Viseum’s wide contextual view Cameras can be displayed on the central control room video wall and/or spot monitors. This makes best use of staff, who watch only the cameras with relevant activity.
