Description[ ]

Nigeria has allegedly been steadily expanding its CCTV coverage of the country, developing a networked system of cameras at critical points. Viseum has advertised that they worked with the Nigerian government to provide CCTV cameras around the country. Viseum provides face recogniton and other analytics.

The Viseum brand is commonly known for introducing advanced cutting-edge technologies, as trusted plug and play Product Solutions. Nigeria initially benefited from Viseum’s 360 Security Cameras and Video Analytics Software. We are now deploying our long-range cameras for the protection of Nigeria’s critical infrastructure 1

Viseum Intelligent 360 Security Cameras are proudly used by Government executives for Nigeria’s general elections. These cameras are used to protect election polling stations and campaign roadshows. They automatically prevent fraudulent voting. Now, part of the Viseum UK Group, we are formally operating as Viseum Nigeria. Our Government registered offices and demonstration suite is in Lagos 1

At the heart of our intelligent surveillance solutions is the internationally patented Viseum Intelligent Moving Camera. This Outdoor Security Camera uses multiple wide contextual view cameras and one moving PTZ Camera in a single unit, with advanced video analytics software. This delivers complete CCTV security surveillance with constant visual verification and monitoring. It automatically detects, zooms into and follows suspects no matter where they each enter, circulate or leave the remote site 1
