International Safe Cities Initiative Reveals how Unsafe we are

A security industry shakeup with atrocities that could have been avoided

Viseum UK leads a report, strongly reflecting today's security climate, and issued only a short time after the company's announcement of its role for the international Safe Cities Initiative, shows that the world is now preparing for security risks that were previously assumed "would never affect us". Following the many atrocities in recent global news, governments now have to accept "this could happen anywhere at any time".  

    
This change in strategic planning is what Viseum UK has been preparing for since as far back as 2002. Put simply, its founder knew that procuring the cheapest CCTV cameras, and installing them in as many places as possible, simply didn't work. This strategy did in fact make things worse and has been proven to be severely flawed, because too many standard CCTV cameras need too many skilled people to watch and use them all, but too many criminals already know this and will disregard them. Viseum UK's business mission was set out to make us all aware of these undeniable facts:

Viseum UK is known for introducing disruptive technology, where its surveillance cameras and software solutions not only disrupt and deter criminals, but are changing how the CCTV security industry is evolving commercially. Buying cultures vary from region to region, but until now, favourite brand names and vendor relationships had often proved to be more important differentiators than a security solution's actual performance and reliability. However, demonstrations of Viseum solutions show such superiority that using any competing technology may compromise the client's entire security enterprise. This message is delivered to Viseum UK's international clients through its growing network of trusted government security advisors, and on occasions where appropriate, hand-in-hand with the UK's Government representatives.  

Viseum UK is managing an increasing number of Safe City projects throughout the world, for countries who have already judged their security risks to be unacceptably high. Central to this are which are extensively used to identify ways in which a country's security defences could be penetrated. Hand-in-hand with this are the which then put the appropriate counter measures in place for each client's security and CCTV design.
