Video Surveillance Managers of Security and Surveillance
Communities are now central to the success of both security enterprise schemes and Video Surveillance Managers
Viseum UK reports a major shift. It affects the way UK video surveillance and security Video Monitoring Centre Managers operate in partnership with local communities. AI situational awareness wide-area surveillance camera installations are now widely available. This gives more power to the people who specify security equipment and systems. Those systems counter specific local Community Regeneration threats.
The UK government’s Big Society initiative supports this change. Community groups are now more powerful than ever. Video Surveillance Managers can act on the wishes of the community they serve. Previously there was one Video Surveillance Manager per security scheme who effectively dictated the scope of the scheme. This worked well to serve the interests of ‘box tickers’ and statisticians rather than the communities themselves. There is now considerable evidence that the traditional edge device approach does not work. Each community demands a custom solution. That solution is designed around specific needs. It often includes AI situational awareness PTZ Camera equipment.
So now, when specifying Community Regeneration schemes, the first question is simple. What information does central control need to protect each specific community? The next step is to specify technology that fits each purpose.

“There is a clear opportunity for Video Surveillance Managers. They can harness the wishes of their communities. They can make their operation far more productive. They can give people what they need at local level for each security challenge. It does not have to cost more than a traditional scheme,” says Stuart Thompson, Viseum UK Group President.
“This will always be more effective than an old video surveillance design. It is likely to be cheaper too. We have seen collaboration and consultation in areas like Nottingham. There our Community SafetyWatch Regeneration initiative has taken hold. This approach is likely to become the norm rather than the exception,” he adds.
“We would encourage Video Surveillance Managers to take a wider view. They should focus on the long-term needs of the community. A new type of manager now sees community involvement as a real opportunity. In my opinion this is the likely trend for the future,” said Stuart. “Every community has slightly different issues. A single approach with a set number of edge devices no longer works,” he said.
The latest proven systems from Viseum UK work on a plug-and-play principle and are specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with any legacy technology that’s in place.

“We have demonstrated Viseum many times. The response from those with central control needs is always the same,” said Stuart. “First comes “wow”. Then comes a doubt. “This is amazing, I wish we could have it. But I doubt it will integrate with what we already have”. The Viseum answer is consistent, and it explains the company’s success. Independent endorsement confirms that one Viseum camera is worth at least five to six of any other camera installation. That applies to manned and unmanned installations. The system also integrates easily into any third-party AI situational awareness system.”
