Gigapixel Video Surveillance – Automated Security and Situational Awareness
Gigapixel surveillance promises everything in one frame. Determined criminals choose their moment. They evade standalone and monitored gigapixel systems, break through access control and avoid guard patrols.
Following one person through standard and Viseum IMC cameras
A Viseum IMC camera picks one person out of a crowd and follows them from camera to camera, beside a fixed standard camera that cannot.
- More video surveillance coverage from fewer PTZ camera installations. A single Viseum AiPTZ Camera installation covers up to the size of 4 Olympic stadiums.
- Automated 360-degree panoramic detection and following of incidents. More close-up video evidence captured throughout the remote site automatically.
- More convictions using extended dual evidence: close-up view and wide contextual view of each incident. This delivers the strongest remote site security and the strongest video surveillance deterrent.
Industry Standard
The video surveillance industry-standard deterrent and automated security and situational awareness
Multitasking with many video analytics systems operating at the same time delivering results for several applications. Installed, maintained and supported as plug-and-play with modular hardware configuration meeting any remote site’s security coverage and surveillance requirements. It solves the many problems with standalone video surveillance systems, manned surveillance services and manned guarding security patrols.
The Viseum Intelligent Moving Camera acts as a virtual gigapixel camera. It solves the old problem of cameras missing valuable video. It can automatically move to, zoom into, verify and record only the relevant video information. It usually delivers extended dual evidence of each incident: not only of the crime itself but of the lead-up to it and what followed. This provides valuable information to recreate the incident: who else witnessed it, where the suspects came from and went, and how to reduce further incidents.
Gigapixel surveillance compared: a 15 gigapixel camera against Viseum
The next best camera will waste significant bandwidth and storage to provide less video information. A competitor would need much more to match one Viseum IMC camera. To match that quality anywhere in the area they would need a 15 gigapixel camera. See the note below. They would also need far more bandwidth and storage. In practice a competitor uses several cameras and still covers only some priority areas. That takes at least 600 per cent more bandwidth and storage, with extreme costs for installation and 24/7/365 monitoring.
Note: 6 fixed cameras x (36 x 36 zoom x 2 megapixel PTZ camera) = 15 gigapixels.
Virtual Guard/Virtual Surveillance Operator/Virtual Gigapixel Camera
Users call the Viseum IMC camera a Virtual Guard, a Virtual Surveillance Operator and a Virtual Gigapixel Camera. In around ten years other wide-area megapixel cameras might match the coverage and range of the Viseum IMC camera. Even then they will not suit high security work. They cannot present the right video when it is needed. Very large images do not benefit from advanced Video Analytics Software. Searching by eye takes too long, and storage and bandwidth costs stay high.
The Viseum IMC camera performs reliably. It is also straightforward to set up and use. It uses sensors with narrow field of view lenses. Using wide-area megapixel cameras instead would lose its day and night coverage, its low bandwidth and its low, or no, remote storage requirements.
- Poor surveillance video quality costs security organisations millions of dollars and thousands of staff hours each year.

Best Low-Light AI Surveillance Camera
The Viseum Panoramic AI Surveillance Camera has a multi-camera system to support environments that suffer from low light. Its fixed and moving camera lenses with auto-zoom are designed to optimise the available ambient light. In very low light, or no light, the area can be lit with infrared or white light. The unit can also be wireless and battery powered.
Best Low-Light Video Surveillance Analytics Software
Low light is one of our main strengths. This covers the camera technology and our Video Content Analytics software, called Intelligent Virtual Operator Software. This gives low light outdoor video surveillance security. An advanced algorithm measures the changing ambient light and adapts to it. This is highly effective for low-light security when the naked eye finds it difficult to see.
Our Competition’s Technical Restriction
The coverage of all other types of megapixel camera is reduced even further in low-light conditions. Light passing through the camera deteriorates because of the limited pixel size. Coverage reduces further when pixels are merged as an attempt to compensate.
