CCTV datasets

    CCTV datasets for computer vision

    Security-camera training data seen from where the cameras hang: ceiling, wall and pole mounts, day, night and infrared, with the look-alikes that cause false alarms.

    Public CCTV datasets are either small academic sets filmed by one group (UCF-Crime, CAUCAFall, PoseLift) or scraped footage with unclear rights. Both are hard to license for a product. Every dataset on this page is synthetic: rendered from CCTV camera positions, so there are no real people, no consent to clear and no footage you cannot redistribute as a trained model.

    Each set ships with YOLO and COCO boxes, a fixed train and validation split, a dataset card, and a free sample on Hugging Face or Kaggle so you can check the labels before paying. Hard negatives (umbrellas for rifles, phones for knives, people sitting for falls, steam for smoke) are kept in every set in a known share.

    Licences are one-time and per dataset: $149 research or $590 commercial for 1,000 images, and packs of 5,000–20,000 images at $2,400–$8,500 commercial. The shoplifting set is video and is priced on request.

    Questions

    CCTV datasets: common questions

    What is a CCTV dataset?

    A collection of images or video clips taken, or rendered, from security-camera positions and labelled for a computer-vision task such as weapon detection, fall detection or person attributes. Labels are usually bounding boxes in YOLO or COCO format.

    Where can I download a CCTV dataset for free?

    Every Simuletic CCTV dataset has a free sample of 100 to 400 labelled images on Hugging Face or Kaggle. Public academic sets such as UCF-Crime, CAUCAFall and RWF-2000 are free for research but mostly exclude commercial use.

    Can I use a CCTV dataset commercially?

    Synthetic sets can be: Simuletic's commercial licence ($590 per 1,000 images, one-time) lets one organisation train and ship models. Real-footage academic datasets are usually research-only, and scraped CCTV raises GDPR questions regardless of the licence.

    Are the datasets real CCTV footage?

    No. Every frame is generated from a CCTV camera specification (height, tilt, lens, lighting, compression), so the geometry matches real cameras while no real person appears.
