01 · Passive
Recording instead of intervening
Traditional systems capture what happened. You find the useful footage after the incident, not during it.
The damage is done before anyone looks.
Autonomous video security
Autonomous video security.
Full control.
VICAMOS sees what is happening on your site, understands the situation, responds according to your rules and documents every event. Without needing someone sitting at the other end of the line.
Pilots start at a single camera. No monitoring-centre lock-in.

Status quo
01 / 12Video security still operates the way it did twenty years ago.
The cameras got better. The operating model behind them did not: camera, monitoring centre, human, phone call, manual response.
02 · Bottleneck
A human as the bottleneck
Someone in the monitoring centre has to detect, understand, decide and react. Each of those four steps costs time.
Cost per alert, delay per alert, uncertainty per alert.
03 · Outsourced
Your system is not yours
With managed security services the provider runs the workflow. You request footage instead of having it.
You are a customer of your own security system.
04 · Bulky
Infrastructure nobody needs
Tower, mast, solar array, battery bank. Often not because the site demands it, but because the camera system does.
Weeks of lead time for an area that needs one camera.
05 · Scattered
Information without a thread
Live view here, alerts there, an incident report by email, hardware with a third party. A clean history exists nowhere.
Nobody can say what happened on site yesterday.
06 · Blind
No picture for management
A security system generates enormous amounts of footage and almost no usable management information.
Hours of recording, nothing you can act on.
The difference
02 / 12From recording to acting.
Both systems see the same incident. The difference starts in the second that follows: one files a video and waits for a person to open it. The other works out what is happening, intervenes, and writes the record itself.
Without VICAMOS07
Some providers do run a staffed control room with a full video wall, live feeds around the clock. Attention simply does not scale: two people cannot watch every tile, every corner and every frame at once. After an hour of a wall full of yards where nothing happens, the eye stops finding the one tile that matters — and every false alarm trains attention further away from it. Whether anyone responds comes down to whether someone was looking at the right image at the right moment. The report gets written afterwards, by hand.
- 01Camera detects motion
- 02Footage is recorded
- 03Monitoring centre receives an alert
- 04Operator checks the camera
- 05Operator decides what is happening
- 06Someone may be contacted
- 07Incident is documented manually
The response depends on someone looking at the right moment.
With VICAMOS09
VICAMOS analyses every frame on the camera itself — on every camera at once, as precisely in the twelfth hour as in the first. It identifies who or what is moving there and checks it against the rules you set for that zone at that time of day. If it does not fit, the response starts immediately: an announcement over the speaker, lighting, an alert to your on-call staff. Escalation goes only as far as you have approved. What is left at the end is a finished incident record nobody had to type.
- 01Camera sees activity
- 02AI understands the event
- 03Security policy is evaluated
- 04VICAMOS responds automatically
- 05The person is addressed and warned
- 06Lighting, speaker and alerts active
- 07Escalation continues if required
- 08Incident record sits with the customer
- 09Event appears in the daily report
The response starts the moment the event does.
None of this is technology for its own sake. It moves the moment something happens from “after the incident” to “during the incident” — and takes the paperwork off your desk.
How it works

Comparison
06 / 12Two operating models, line by line.
The difference is not the camera. It is what happens after detection, and who decides it.

Compact installation
Mounted where the situation occurs, rather than on a mast beside it.
On-device AI processing
Analysis happens on the camera, not first in a data centre.
Night vision
Detection at the hours when most incidents actually happen.
Speaker and microphone
Direct address on site instead of silent recording only.
Warning light and illumination
Visible deterrence as its own rung of the response ladder.
Person and vehicle detection
Object classes separated directly on the device.
Secure remote connectivity
Access to live and recorded footage without open ports on site.
Remote configuration
Zones, rules and software are maintained from the cockpit.
Automatic health monitoring
Failures, offline time and recording status report themselves.
No oversized tower where a compact camera will do. Infrastructure because the site needs it, not because the camera system requires it.

VICAMOS is a platform, not another isolated camera app.
Compliance
09 / 12Built for deployment in Germany.
Not a GDPR badge in the footer, but concrete controls the software actually enforces.
Recorded area
Permanently maskedPrivacy zones
- Neighbouring property
- Public footpath
- Residential window
Retention14 days
01
Privacy zones
Neighbouring properties, public paths, windows and sensitive areas are permanently masked.
02
Retention periods
Configurable per recording and event type, rather than one blanket rule for everything.
03
Purpose binding
For every camera and monitored area, why it exists is documented.
04
Role-based access
Not everyone with the app needs access to every camera.
05
Audit logging
Who signed in, viewed footage, exported it or changed the rules.
06
Automatic deletion
The retention period is enforced by software, not by a calendar reminder.
BDSG § 4
German federal data protection law ties video surveillance to a defined purpose and to necessity, requires that surveillance be made known, and requires deletion once footage is no longer necessary. Those three points are configuration in VICAMOS rather than process.
DIN EN 62676-4
The application guideline for video surveillance systems in security applications. We align the design and documentation of installations with this standard.
Certifications
TODO(cert) — certifying body, certificate number and scope will be named here once they exist.
We do not write "TÜV compliant". Specific certificates will be named with the certifying body, number and scope once they exist. This section describes the controls the software provides today.
Use cases
10 / 12Anywhere something sits that nobody should be moving at night.
VICAMOS is not a construction camera. Construction sites are one of many deployments.
01
Construction sites
A changing risk profile, high material value, no fixed infrastructure.
Temporary
02
Industrial facilities
Large areas with clearly separated restricted and operating zones.
Perimeter
03
Warehouses
Few entrances, high inventory value, defined operating hours.
Indoor
04
Logistics yards
Constant vehicle traffic in which the one wrong vehicle has to stand out.
Vehicles
05
Equipment storage
Concentrated value on a small footprint, often with nobody present.
Plant
06
Solar installations
Remote, sprawling and economically attractive to steal from.
Remote
07
Commercial property
Multiple tenants, different access rights, shared areas.
Portfolio
08
Vacant buildings
No use, no witnesses, high downstream cost from vandalism.
Vacant
09
Parking areas
Publicly accessible, with strict requirements around privacy zones.
