Remote CCTV Monitoring

Remote CCTV monitoring infrastructures using the Viseum Intelligent Moving Camera (IMC) are proven to be significantly more productive, with the recent endorsement that a single surveillance operator remote monitoring just 4 Viseum cameras produced more results, easier and faster, than more operators using at least 20 of any other advanced PTZ camera solution.

By being less reliant on remote CCTV monitoring  infrastructures, and with its PTZ cameras performing as if they are ‘manned’ 24/7/365, remote monitoring infrastructures are now proven to deliver more results and more efficiently than ever before. Viseum IMC’s bridge the gap between remote monitored and unmonitored standalone CCTV schemes. For example: remote CCTV monitoring central control rooms can watch their video walls spring to life for the very first time, and, although Viseum IMCs can operate without anyone watching, communities believe they have a CCTV specialist constantly looking out for them.

With the UK leading the world in the use of CCTV surveillance, today’s standard CCTV schemes work to levels as recommended by the UK Home Office in 1994. In 2007 the UK Home Office CCTV Strategy Board called for a technology to revolutionise open space CCTV, in a bid to help manage the ever increasing number of cameras with limited CCTV scheme infrastructures. Viseum IMCs are delivering this revolution for organisations, to provide their business and residential communities with improved levels of service whilst reducing operational expenditure.

Remote CCTV Monitoring Central ControlIntegration

Each Viseum IMC upgraded or added to a CCTV scheme provides an increasing dual benefit of not only providing dedicated surveillance per Viseum IMC installation, but also freeing up CCTV operators to focus more on the major security issues of the day.

• Use fewer camera installations, less reliant on CCTV monitoring infrastructures, to protect larger areas of more locations
• Support key technology recommendations for remote CCTV monitoring from the UK Home Office
• Have all your PTZ camera installations performing “manned” 24/7/365

Each Viseum IMC installation effectively covers in any direction at the same time (subject to available abient ligtht):

• Remote monitoring for situation awareness – 2m up to 200m
• Automated Recognition evidence – 2m up to 147m
• Automated Identification evidence – 2m up to 61m

Viseum’s Technology Partners present this patented breakthrough integrated
into remote CCTV monitoring central control room operations.

Plug and Play Integration

To remotely manage Viseum IMCs using the Viseum Graphical User Interface, to monitor all live contextual view cameras, interrogate recordings local to the camera, schedule surveillance profiles, and prioritise hot spots, all that is needed is a TCP/IP link and your standard workstation using a standard web browser.

• Providing the best of both worlds, where Viseum’s machine-to-machine intelligent automation interplays with the remote CCTV monitoring central control room’s operator vigilance. Viseum IMCs will zoom into and follow activity of interest. Remote CCTV operators can always seamlessly override Viseum’s automation, but when they are too busy or simply unavailable when crimes are committed, high quality close up evidence can still be captured and the long term deterrent will always be sustained.

PTZ Upgrade Packs

• Viseum IMCs integrate seamlessly today with all major brands of analogue remote CCTV  monitoring control room equipment, using existing transmission infrastructures or Viseum-driven COFDM.  The control of the PTZ uses the same standard 2 or 4 wire  remote CCTV monitoring control room telemetry, and its live images are recorded and presented in just the same way as always, but with the added benefit of A) moving themselves to incidents of interest when CCTV operators are unavailable, and B) storing backup recordings locally to the camera of the PTZ and all fixed contextual view cameras.

Optional Digital Integration

All advanced Viseum IMC functionality is available today using the Viseum Graphical User Interface (GUI) from the remote CCTV monitoring control room. Using the most secure web based techniques, Viseum’s Technology Partners present the following levels of this patented breakthrough, digitally integrated into the familiar operator trained remote CCTV monitoring control room GUI:

Level 1 | Extended Dual Evidence | Investigate incidents and find what you’re looking for faster

View Chester Case Study

Connect to Viseum’s remote onboard DVR from the remote CCTV monitoring central control room’s workstation. Its familiar user interface can then be used to interrogate all recordings stored locally to the camera as an extension to the remote CCTV monitoring central control room’s own storage.  Significantly reduce post-video interrogation time by using Viseum’s fixed contextual camera views for a  visual Smart Search, or  remote CCTV monitoring control room meta tagged Smart Search capability to rapidly locate specific areas where close up evidence is required.

For backup storage or primary use and eliminating costly transmission, Viseum IMC installations are used to locally store their contextual view and close-up recordings. Benefit from extended dual evidence of any close up event using Viseum’s fixed contextual view cameras. See the lead-up to the event as well as the aftermath; for example who else witnessed the event and see where the suspect(s) came from and escaped to.

Level 2 | Advanced Evidence Locker | Process your evidence for rapid convictions

Designed in association with the Home Office and major police forces to standardise the use of video evidence for criminal investigations and court convictions, play all Viseum IMC camera views at the same time for complete detail of all events in the whole area. Once Viseum’s locally stored recordings have been identified as evidence, it can be stored in the central control room in one of 2 methods to support particular organisations’ evidence processes and “barrister proof” policies:

Option 1 – Digitally integrated by the manufacturers of the central control room recording system, to be stored with all other evidence within your proprietary evidence locker.

Option 2 – Digitally Integrated by your IT department using the universal digital CCTV viewing software package for Windows.

Level 3 | Live Contextual View Vigilance | Have eyes in the back of your head

Use the Viseum IMC as a multichannel codec to avoid purchasing any single, multichannel and PTZ data control codecs, so delivering a more cost effective product which is easier to install and relocate.  At the same time operators are following a live event with the PTZ camera, they can watch any one of, or all, the fixed contextual view cameras to see what else is happening in the whole area.

From the control room or securely via the internet to a mobile PC device, audio and visual alerts can be received and PTZ cameras can be moved in the normal way, or even faster in emergencies with a touch on the spot screen.

Level 4 | Advanced Intelligent Automation | Stay on top of all your cameras

At a simple touch of the remote monitoring spot screen, PTZ camera installations can now be programmed with local knowledge of specific areas and times of day or week at which to expect crime. Prioritise certain areas over others, but remain automatically vigilant to include the many areas where random crimes could occur.
