Regeneration Schemes Win Fight Against Crime

London Boroughs Regeneration Schemes – Delivering better results thanks to AI Situational Awareness

Why governments choose Viseum for Regeneration Schemes

Regeneration Schemes succeed when residents feel safe enough to walk a high street after dark. Viseum builds the AI surveillance that earns back that confidence. Our cameras watch a whole district at once. They do this without a control room full of operators.

Government buyers and their technology advisors ask three questions before they commit public money. Will recorded crime actually fall? Can we prove the fall to auditors and to residents? What will the system cost to run each year? The London boroughs below answer all three questions.

London Council customers of the Viseum 360 Security Camera deliver such effective results. So another TV Interview for the AI Situational Awareness company followed. London Councils commented: “As part of our commitment to making our communities safer we have recently installed a new surveillance camera known as an Intelligent Monitoring Camera or simply the 360 Security Camera. These cameras move automatically to capture crime and antisocial behaviour without the need for surveillance operators being present.”

“This camera is seen to be constantly monitoring the area and gives the impression that it is being controlled by a Surveillance Operator. This provides both reassurance to residents and business owners and a major deterrent to would-be offenders. Our staff also use this camera proactively to provide even greater protection for the surrounding community.”

Drug Deals Automatically Detected

Moments after this automatic camera detected a drug deal, offenders followed the boy on the bicycle, robbed him and murdered him. Police used the evidence that this camera captured automatically. So they identified and arrested the members of both gangs. Prosecutors then took those gang members to court for this and many other offences.

Street Drinking

Also, the council comments continued: “For example, our video surveillance managers instruct this camera to look out for potentially aggressive street drinking in certain areas, so that when our staff are busy dealing with other security issues, they can either watch this camera and quickly pass information that it captures over to the police, and/or allow it to move completely autonomously to collect the evidence.”

What a government gets from Regeneration Schemes

One Viseum camera covers the ground of a whole cluster of fixed cameras. So a scheme protects more streets for less capital outlay. Councils also trim the wage bill. The camera finds an incident on its own, and only then does it call an operator.

• Wide-area cover from a single mast, so civil works and cabling stay small.
• Automatic detection of drug dealing, street drinking, fighting and loitering.
• Court-ready evidence, captured the moment an incident begins.
• Open standards, so the camera joins the Video Management System you already run.
• British design and manufacture, with direct access to our engineers.

Proving that Regeneration Schemes worked

Auditors want numbers rather than anecdotes. Viseum stamps a time on every automatic detection and on every operator action. So a scheme manager can show exactly what the system caught. The report covers incident counts, officer response times and the monthly trend.

This approach follows well established thinking on crime prevention through environmental design. In short, a street that looks watched becomes a street that offenders avoid.

Running costs and funding for Regeneration Schemes

Running costs stay low because no operator has to stare at a screen all night. So a small team can supervise a large district. Governments fund these schemes from regeneration budgets, community safety budgets and town centre improvement grants. Our engineers help advisors build the whole-life cost case before any tender goes out.
