Almost every dataset has a free open-source sample — typically 100 to 400 labelled images, plus video clips where the dataset has them. Train a baseline, look at the boxes, and check the camera angles against your own before you buy. Samples are published on [Kaggle](https://www.kaggle.com/simuletic) and, for some datasets such as weapon and knife detection, on [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/Simuletic). Each dataset page links its sample.

Hard negatives are look-alike objects or scenes that are not the target, included so the model learns what not to flag. Questions ## Before you licence **What is a computer vision dataset?** A labelled collection of images or video used to train and evaluate models that detect, classify or segment objects and events. Each image comes with annotations — bounding boxes, keypoints, masks or attributes — that tell the model what to learn. **What is synthetic computer vision training data?** Imagery generated by rendering and generative models instead of captured by a camera. Because the pipeline knows what it placed in each frame, labels come out with the image. Every Simuletic dataset is 100% synthetic, so it contains no real people. **Which annotation formats do the datasets use?** Detection datasets ship as YOLO (works with YOLOv5, v8 and v11) and COCO. Pose datasets use COCO keypoints, and pedestrian attribute data ships as JSONL. Some datasets also include video, VLM captions or keypoints — see each dataset page. **Can I try a dataset before buying?** Yes. Almost every dataset has a free sample on Kaggle — typically 100 to 400 images — so you can train a baseline and check the labels before licensing the full set. **Can I use the data commercially?** With a commercial licence, yes: one organisation may train models on the data and ship those models in products, perpetually. The research licence covers non-commercial work by one lab or course. You may not resell or redistribute the dataset itself. **Which YOLO versions work with the labels?** The YOLO text format works with YOLOv5, YOLOv8 and YOLO11 out of the box; COCO JSON works with most other detectors, including RT-DETR and Faster R-CNN. **Do any datasets include video?** Yes. Shoplifting, fall detection, airport drones and others ship with video sequences or evaluation clips. Custom datasets can be delivered as video clips with tracking IDs and event times. **What if none of these match my cameras?** Then a custom dataset is usually the better buy: we render the same kinds of events into photos of your own empty scenes, as images or video, with your classes. **What does a licence cost?** Each image dataset is sold as 1,000 images with a one-time licence: $149 for students and non-commercial research, $590 for commercial use. Packs of 5,000–20,000 images are commercial only, $2,400–$8,500. Video datasets are priced on request. New to synthetic data?

We build datasets for scenarios you can't film — on your own camera angles, with your classes and the look-alikes that cause false alarms. --- Markdown version of https://simuletic.com/datasets.
