After a live field demonstration of an early prototype of the Viseum technology, the Director of The CCTV User Group, Peter Fry wrote:
“Well designed and well managed CCTV systems in the UK have proved themselves time and time again to be valuable tools in the reduction of anti-social behaviour and criminal activity, and in the post incident identification of offenders.
However the considerable costs of installing the number of cameras necessary to adequately monitor an area, the transmission system and provision of a control facility able to record the images adequately, have meant that up to now it simply has not been cost effective to introduce systems that monitor small local shopping parades or residential areas.
I was personally very impressed with this demonstration of Viseum technology that has now overcome virtually all of these constraints and provides a well engineered system at a cost that makes it a viable solution for both smaller Neighbourhood Watch groups and groups of retailers.
Apart from the technology involved, the whole concept of using it as a prime element of a Community SafetyWatch system is a major step forward, and I was equally impressed by the detailed work undertaken by Viseum in developing the necessary procedures to take into account all the legislative implications in respect of Data Protection and Human Rights for systems used for public area surveillance.”
“this is exactly what the communities need” (Local authority)
“the value of this cameras deterrent is immense ” (CCTV control room manager)
