    Security AI Datasets Built for Real-World Edge Cases

    Licensed, privacy-safe CCTV datasets and training data for AI security cameras: weapon detection, incident detection, Counter-UAS, driver monitoring and other hard visual AI problems. QA-verified YOLO and COCO labels, hard negatives that cut false alarms, real CCTV angles and lighting — as images and video, or as a custom dataset built on your own cameras.

    01Get started

    Three ways to start today.

    Buy a ready-made dataset, have us build data on your own cameras, or join the API early-access list.
    01

    Browse and buy a dataset

    16 ready-made datasets with sample images. One-time research or commercial licences.

    02

    API coming soon: get early access

    Generate and annotate labelled images from code or from an AI agent. Tell us what you'd build and we'll invite you to the beta.

    03

    Request a custom dataset

    Images or video clips on your cameras, with your classes. Images from $1,500 for 2,500 images; video quoted per project.

    02What you can buy

    Three ways in. Pick the one that matches your deadline.

    Most teams start with a dataset or a stress test, then move to a custom pack for their own cameras. Datasets and services are one-time purchases.

    03Why it works

    False alarms come from things that look like threats. So we render those too.

    An umbrella carried like a rifle. A bag of chips held like a handgun. Every weapon dataset ships with the look-alikes that trigger real-world false positives, labelled as what they are.

    Labels you can audit

    Every dataset card states how the boxes were made and the measured label accuracy. Download the free sample and check it yourself.

    Angles that match yours

    High, wide CCTV views with compression, noise and low light — not stock photos shot at eye level.

    No people, no GDPR exposure

    Every frame is generated. There are no real faces or bystanders, so the data clears legal review fast.

    04How custom data is made

    From one photo of an empty scene to a labelled training set.

    The same pipeline builds our catalogue and the custom datasets we make on your cameras.
    Threat
    1. 01

      Send one clean frame of your scene

      A hospital corridor, a station platform, a store entrance — empty, so no real people are involved from the start.

    2. 02

      Say what should happen in it

      People walking, running, falling, drawing a weapon, leaving a bag. Plus the look-alikes your model confuses today.

    3. 03

      We render the variations

      Different people, clothing, poses, lighting and weather in your exact view — as images, video clips, or both.

    4. 04

      Every frame is labelled and checked

      Boxes, classes and tracking IDs, exported as YOLO or COCO, with a QA pass before anything is delivered.

    06Questions

    Frequently asked questions

    Synthetic data, privacy, samples and pricing.
    What is synthetic data for computer vision?

    Synthetic data is imagery and video generated by rendering and generative models instead of being filmed. It is used to train and test detection models on events that are rare, dangerous or private — weapon draws, falls, fights, fire — without collecting real footage. Simuletic builds synthetic CCTV, drone and dashcam data for security, defence and safety teams.

    How does synthetic data compare to real-world data?

    Labels come from the pipeline and are checked before delivery, edge cases and look-alikes can be produced on demand, and there are no real people in frame. Most teams combine it with the real footage they already have: synthetic data fills the gaps — rare events, night, rain, unusual angles — that real collections rarely cover.

    Which industries use Simuletic data?

    Video-analytics vendors working on weapon and intrusion detection, transport and retail security, healthcare fall detection, industrial safety, smart-city monitoring, driver monitoring, and defence and counter-UAS teams. See the use-case overview for the datasets that fit each one.

    Is synthetic data GDPR compliant?

    Every frame is computer-generated, so there are no real individuals in the data. That removes consent requirements and most of the data-protection risk that comes with collecting surveillance footage of real people, and it keeps legal review short.

    Can I get a free sample?

    Yes. Most catalogue datasets have a free sample on Kaggle — weapon, knife, fall, drone swarm and more — so you can check the labels and train a baseline before you buy a licence.

    How does pricing work?

    Catalogue datasets are one-time licences per dataset, research or commercial, for 1,000 images (prices on the pricing page); 5,000 and 10,000 images on request. The False-Positive Stress Test is $1,500. Custom image datasets start at $1,500 and video is quoted per project.

    Do you provide data for vision-language models?

    Yes. Datasets and custom packs can include natural-language captions and grounded boxes for fine-tuning VLMs, and event-level captions for video clips. See the VLM training data page for formats.
