Viseum UK Celebrates Another Contract Win
The Isle of Man Government (IoM) has turned to Viseum redeployable security cameras. These protect important conservation and city regeneration areas, and the island’s capital and political centre. IoM joins a growing number of governments, police forces and law enforcement agencies using Viseum UK. They choose Viseum for its effective approach to wide-area surveillance coverage.
Four redeployable Video Surveillance Viseum IMCs have been mounted along the roads. They are monitored from a central video monitoring room. Digital recording runs at both the cameras and the control room.
Council Leader David Christian, Chairman of the Policy and Resources Committee, said: “With the regeneration of the North Quay, and the area rapidly becoming a major entertainment and leisure zone for the capital, extending surveillance coverage to the locality has become a priority. The Council fully supports the use of surveillance as it helps Public Safety, acts as a deterrent to antisocial behaviour and footage can be used in Court to bring criminals to justice.
We have also been encouraged to learn that our partners, the police, have indicated they would be in favour of monitoring the surveillance coverage ‘live’ should they be required to at weekends. The latest surveillance technology will be used. These four new redeployable Viseum cameras deliver the performance of roughly 20 older units. Subject to funding, the Council’s Parks section will consider a Viseum system. The aim is to reduce vandalism.”
IoM Engineer and Surveyor, also a lead member of Community Regeneration Safety Programme, said: “The areas we’re particularly concerned about are increasing security of our car parks, bus stops, access to our marinas, and the potential for antisocial behaviour associated with an increasing number of licensed and leisure facilities. Viseum redeployable video surveillance uses proven technology. It needs fewer AI surveillance cameras. It gives better coverage and more effective crime detection and prevention. The cost is a fraction of traditional systems.”
The requirements for our installations were for an intermittently manned surveillance control room. However, with cameras performing better than constantly manned. Viseum’s redeployable IMC ticked all the boxes as it both enhances operator efficiency where operators are present. Can also be effectively used where resources dictate there are no permanent operators.
Viseum UK Group President Stuart Thompson said, “Local authority surveillance schemes are driven by budget and resources. Surveillance technologies must now do more. This is where Viseum’s redeployable security cameras score very highly. Sometimes operators are not an option because of cost. Sometimes their time is needed for specific tasks. In both cases the redeployable IMC is an effective and cost-efficient answer for the control room.”
The Viseum IMC has removed crime and antisocial behaviour problems in other areas too. Criminals quickly realised they were being watched. Making the general public realise they were actually being protected. This is the opposite of previous technologies which often prove so ineffective criminals all but disregard them.
Most open space PTZ Cameras have already passed their life expectancy. Older technologies also have limits. Most are pointing the wrong way when a crime occurs. Viseum presents an unparalleled and cost-effective offering for clients to stay on top of all their camera installations. This is being achieved by replacing or upgrading PTZ cameras to become Viseum IMCs. Control room staff can then spend their time more effectively. Overall efficiency improves. Surveillance scheme expansion becomes much more viable.
