Our unique partnership with the UK Government
Why Viseum had no technical competition in 2007
The UK Government said, “Viseum UK has surpassed all of our requirements.” Until 2007 the UK drew criticism for having too many cameras that did not deliver results. In October 2007 the Home Office and the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) wrote that no viable technical solution yet existed to let one camera serve several purposes at once. Viseum’s camera already did it, and its design was patented in Europe and the United States from 2002. At several of the strategy’s roadshow events, the presenters said that Viseum exceeded these recommendations in both specification and innovation. They then sent their audiences out to see Viseum.
Viseum and the government went on to support each other’s exhibitions across the UK. By 2010 the government was hosting visits by other governments to Viseum’s Certified Corporate Partners.
Training simulations
Select a picture to play the simulation in place. Only one plays at a time.
Training simulation: AiRadar and the thermal and optical camera
Trainees learn what each sensor does: the AiRadar finds every object around a site, and the thermal and optical camera turns to each one and zooms in. Partners see why the two always work together.
Training simulation: following one person through standard and Viseum IMC cameras
Trainees learn how a Viseum IMC camera picks one person out of a crowd and follows them from camera to camera, and what a fixed standard camera cannot do.
The Viseum IMC
The Viseum Intelligent Moving Camera (IMC) runs several applications at once and is installed, maintained and supported as plug-and-play modular hardware. One police camera covers an area up to the size of 4 Olympic stadiums. One military camera covers an area the size of New York City.
One Viseum camera does the work of 6 constantly manned cameras, a Metropolitan Police surveillance officer reported. That is before the installation and monitoring costs of those cameras. Viseum delivers more results automatically, at significantly lower capital cost and with running costs at least 6 times lower each year.
