Security Standards and Accreditation

Video Surveillance Standards and International Accreditation

British Video Surveillance Standards – Certified Accreditation

Your whole network depends on three things. The cameras and software must be highest quality, meet the highest standards, and hold respected accreditation.

Industry Standard

The video surveillance and 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. Solving the many problems with standalone video surveillance systems, manned surveillance services and manned guarding security patrols. One Viseum IMC camera covers the same area as six manned PTZ installations. Viseum will deliver better results automatically, costing far less to buy. Yearly running cost is at least six times lower.

Gigapixel Analytics 360° AI Surveillance Camera

• Captures 100 x more people and vehicles.
• Over 25 x more usable video evidence.
• Solves over 15 x more incidents.

The only 360 security camera that detects several incidents at once, from close to long range, in all directions. It operates completely automatically controlling a moving PTZ Camera to follow the required action and confirm incidents. With high-quality video evidence of even before the alarm is raised, it automatically reports incidents for rapid response and investigations. See the lead up to the incident, what happened after and who else witnessed it.

High-End Security

Every threat or disaster needs the same evidence. Footage from before, during and after the incident is critical for the right security response. Enough high-quality video for live surveillance, and to investigate and convict is also essential. At that moment every pixel of video is priceless. Everyone can see the value of your security investment. Viseum also has unmatched value as a deterrent. This is one of the strengths that only Viseum delivers.

Video Analytics Software – Video Surveillance Standards and Accreditation (i-LIDS)

The UK Government body CPNI, formerly HOSDB, created i-LIDS. This is the Imagery Library for Intelligent Detection Systems, and it supports British Standards. This organisation was formed in 2004 to regulate the use of fit-for-purpose automated surveillance software. Viseum was the first company to apply for i-LIDS approval. Viseum goes further than i-LIDS. Analytics on the wide view cameras detect the scenario. The system then moves a PTZ Camera to analyse and confirm the incident.

The i-LIDS certification programme is now being updated to a more unified approach to security and surveillance. Work is under way to regulate this critical equipment. The large Viseum PhD Video Analytics Software network is helping that transition. This includes expertise in specialised processing hardware and software, which is known to be another one of Viseum’s main strengths.

i-LIDS had only standardised some basic detection scenarios, including intruder, parked vehicle, doorway and left baggage. Viseum engineers hold accreditations for these scenarios. They have also written whitepapers on Viseum Certified Algorithms. These cover learning algorithms, scenario based algorithms and several i-LIDS scenarios at once.

Cameras and Equipment – Video Surveillance Standards and Accreditation (British video surveillance)

British video surveillance standards and accreditation are the most rigorous in the world. Viseum Certification sets British Standards for video surveillance much higher. All Viseum licensed factories and Viseum hardware component suppliers already conform to British Video Surveillance Standards. On each project we also obtain the international and regional certifications, approvals and accreditations that the project needs. Once those standards are accredited, each Viseum product goes through further Viseum Certified Testing. The high computer processing load for Viseum’s advanced video surveillance automation. Its 24/7/365 intelligent operation reliability, makes this computing device testing the most rigorous for automated video surveillance operations.

Old Standards Video Management System Architecture

Security professionals rate Viseum accreditation as the best standard for surveillance and video analytics. Customers have already invested in older systems. A full refit to Viseum cameras and a new video management system. However, Viseum software is hardware independent. Viseum iVOS, CiVMS and Viseum cameras all work with older systems and with cameras from any maker. Once Viseum software is commissioned, older cameras gain our analytics. The video wall comes to life for the first time. Every sensor and alarm is tuned.

Video Management System Performance-Optimised 24/7/365 Resilience

Another Accredited Video Surveillance Standard is the reliability and operational performance of Viseum Software Systems. We tune heavy analytics so routine and emergency processes run automatically. The result works as one system. If required the Viseum CiVMS tunes the security architecture around the clock. No operator input is needed until responders are called. Viseum Accredited surveillance designs and standards include:

• Automatic saving of all settings including user interface settings, screen sizes, screen location across multiple monitors.
• Automatic full system restores after unexpected events such as power loss.
• Diagnostics parameters display.
• Flexible distributed architecture with no single point of failure.
• Automated server resource optimisation and prioritisation.
• One-click import and export of all settings for backing up or for replicating the same configuration on another computer.
• Failover management server.
• Redundant recording server.
• Watchdog to monitor application system health.

Published Standards – Security Risk

Published security standards are studied by criminals with intent to penetrate security systems. EXAMPLE – Face Recognition Vendor Test (FRVT) by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) – This standard endorses software vendors who allow the use of edited images of faces to enrol people onto security systems. This is a serious security breach by allowing person “A” to penetrate a security system as person “B”. One of Viseum’s initial digital imaging checks will reject any edited images if being used to for security clearance.
