CCTV Camera Security Systems

CCTV is the abbreviation of Closed Circuit Television. It is a system where the circuit is closed and all the elements are linked. CCTV camera security systems were originally developed to monitor commercial properties and public places, but have been adapted to home security systems in recent years.

CCTV is defined as the use of video cameras to transmit video to a limited set of monitors. This kind of system differs from broadcast television in that the signal is not openly transmitted, but is transmitted only to specific television monitors programmed or wired to receive a signal from those cameras.

The most obvious and common use for CCTV is for security. These cameras are usually installed in parks, government offices, shopping malls, and other places where the threat of illegal activities and theft is imminent. However, many companies and institutions also use these cameras to monitor their employees so that complacency at the workplace can be avoided. It can be used for monitoring traffic. It is used in sports stadiums to focus on the audience. It can be hidden in trains and buses to detect vandalism. It can be used to monitor animals in a zoo. It can even be used to reproduce infrared vision. The applications are almost limitless.

Early CCTV surveillance systems were some type of camera linked to a television screen or monitor. These early systems may not even have included the ability to record what was happening - just simply capture a picture in one location and display the contents on a screen elsewhere.

Now things have changed. Clearly commercial CCTV surveillance systems have been more advanced than this for many years but now we have the ability to install and utilise sophisticated CCTV surveillance systems in our homes and offices with considerably reduced cost and increased facilities.

There are many benefits of using a closed circuit television system in your facility. Many large buildings that have several corners on the exterior will utilize these systems. This is due to the fact that there are several areas around the building in which a person could hide and attack an unsuspecting person or break into. If the home has gated access, CCTV can be utilized so that people inside the building can see who is trying to enter and prevent allowing access to someone they do not want on the property.

The same CCTV video surveillance technology used in our public venues is available for your home. There are many companies offering CCTV systems that can monitor every room in your home with clear, high visibility images. CCTV surveillance is available for all the rooms in your home. By monitoring your family's security on a CCTV network, you are able to record suspicious activities as they occur. Monitor your yard, front door, garage, even your mailbox.

CCTV is economical and simple to use, and it will help improve your security and your peace of mind.
