Revolutionary multitasking CCTV camera set to slash £64 Billion UK crime bill
Viseum has launched a study to help identify just how much its Intelligent CCTV cameras could save individual communities and the massive positive effect this could have on Government budgets arround the world. The initial study indicates the likely savings for the overall UK economy.
Of just 10 field installations where Viseum IMC deployments have been publicised, the intelligent multi-tasking cameras have made a significant impact on crime statistics, killing previous problems stone dead. Establishing just how much the UK will save on its crime bill is the purpose of Viseum’s new study. In fact this track record proves that the best-in-class IMC (Intelligent Moving Camera) technology is set to save the UK economy £Billions per year. Its widespread deployment across the UK is also ensuring Home Office Recommendations on crime detection and prevention are supported and assist local authorities and law enforcement agencies to hit relevant targets.
The UK economy suffered a cost of £64 Billion fighting crime in 2003/4 based upon Government crime statistics; more worryingly, a more recent independent study indicates this cost is now running at a staggering £78 Billion per year. Stuart Thompson, Viseum’s Managing Director and inventor of the IMC technology, said: “By being less reliant on infrastructures our cameras have proved to help CCTV schemes capture 25 times more useable evidence than any other manned solution. That is a massive incentive both socially and economically for local authorities and other Government agencies to provide protection to large numbers of open space problem areas.”
Viseum will launch a savings calculator in the near future, to help identify just how much money a single IMC will save each particular community with specific crimes and anti-social problems.
“In fact Viseum will be encouraging members of the industry to take part in supporting our study or challenging these numbers,” added Stuart Thompson. “In return for the industry’s input we will be offering a significant financial incentive – in addition to these projected savings.” Full details will be announced soon on the Viseum website www.viseum.co.uk“
A very conservative clear up rate for Viseum IMCs in catching close up, evidence-quality video, is 70%. i.e. Viseum aims to clear up at least 7 out of 10 open space incidents, whereas Viseum reports it is actually achieving nearer 100% clear up of problems with the IMC so far.

10 publicised Viseum IMC installations 2006 – 2009
3 High Profile Field Trials
Viseum encouraged the CCTV industry’s media to study initial IMC acid tests using the most challenging trouble spots, targeted where several years’ crime reduction initiatives and even 24/7 manned infrastructure CCTV still hadn’t made any difference. The resulting publicised performance even attracted national TV and tabloid publicity:
- Viseum captured all 8 reported and 10 unreported incidents.
- Viseum caught 7 serious offences, 5 anti-social, 3 misdemeanours, 3 supporting intelligence, resulting in 2 convictions, 3 ASBOs, 2 evictions, 6 cautions, 2 proofs of false accusations, 1 compensation claim and 1 ASBO terms enforcement. Additional benefits included financial savings, effective use of public funds an improved community peace of mind.
7 Field Installations
Viseum IMCs have continued to attract extensive media coverage due to the success of each publicised installation.
- Out of just 7 installations 100% of them captured all reported incidents and 5 of these even captured unreported incidents.
- Viseum captured all 3 reported and 47+ unreported incidents; 7 serious offences, 42+ anti-social and 1 intelligence gathering incidents, resulting in 6 cautions, 3 arrests, 1 ASBO, 1 fine and 1 trouble moved on.
Results
- Over 57 unreported incidents were captured by Viseum IMCs that would not have been captured with any other manned or unmanned camera solution.
- 5 installations had 24/7 CCTV infrastructures but missed all but 1 of the 52+ incidents caught by Viseum IMCs. With this 1 incident the Viseum IMC allowed CCTV operators to indentify a person breaking their ASBO injunction.
- Overall results: 68+ incidents captured – 14 serious, 47+ anti-social, 3 misdemeanours and 4 intelligence gathering incidents, resulting in 3 arrests, 2 convictions, 2 evictions, 1 fine, 4 ASBOs, 12 cautions, 2 proofs of false accusations, 1 compensation claim, 1 ASBO terms enforcement and 1 trouble moved on.
Conclusion
All Viseum IMC installations successfully addressed the particular problems within an average of 3 – 4 months. This performance has attracted many professional individuals and organisations to support Viseum IMCs in helping the UK economy save £Billions per year with these enhanced crime clear up statistics.
