What makes a surveillance camera powerful
Resolution and zoom alone do not make a camera powerful. A high-resolution camera pointed the wrong way records nothing useful. Power is what the camera finds, follows and records on its own, across the whole scene, day and night.
The most powerful surveillance camera is the one that sees the most, follows the most and needs the fewest people to run it. On every one of those measures, Viseum leads.
- Coverage: a single Viseum 360 Security Camera covers up to the size of 4 Olympic stadiums. The Viseum thermal AI camera with Viseum AiRadar covers areas up to the size of New York City. Read about the long range AI camera.
- Several incidents at once: fixed wide-view cameras watch every direction while the moving camera zooms in and follows each incident close up, from short range to long range.
- No operator needed to find the incident: the camera detects, follows and records on its own, and calls a person only when it has something worth showing.
- Evidence that holds up: a close-up view and a wide contextual view of every incident, before, during and after it happens.
- Day and night: thermal and low-light cameras keep the same automatic following in darkness and poor weather.
The most powerful camera compared
A Metropolitan Police surveillance officer reported that to provide the same coverage as just 1 Viseum 360 Security Camera, it would take:
| Camera type | Needed to match 1 Viseum camera |
|---|---|
| Constantly manned PTZ cameras (the next best) | 6 |
| The industry’s latest panoramic megapixel cameras | 10 |
| Standard fixed cameras | 200 |
That does not count the cost of installing and monitoring all those other cameras. Viseum delivers more results automatically, and one Viseum camera costs significantly less than the cameras it replaces. Running costs are at least 6 times lower each year. Viseum AI situational awareness systems typically pay for themselves in 12 to 18 months.
Built for governments, cities and critical sites
Viseum designs the most powerful camera for the places where an ordinary camera fails: city centres, borders, ports, airports, critical infrastructure, large sites and events. It is sold, installed and supported through Viseum certified partners, and it is not designed for homes or small shops.
Designed by Viseum. Made in Great Britain under licence. Installed by certified partners.
Questions buyers ask about the most powerful surveillance camera
What is the most powerful surveillance camera?
Measured by the area it covers and the incidents it follows without an operator, the Viseum 360 Security Camera: one Viseum camera does the work of 6 constantly manned cameras, a Metropolitan Police surveillance officer reported.
Does it need someone watching it?
No. It detects, follows and records on its own, and alerts the control room only when it has found something.
Does it work at night?
Yes. Thermal and low-light cameras keep detecting and following in darkness and poor weather.
Can it work with the cameras we already have?
Yes. Our engineers can upgrade the PTZ cameras and the video management system a customer already owns, so earlier investment is protected.
