What Is CCTV?

As you well know, a security system is essential to your business. It can deter vandals and would-be robbers and it also keeps a watchful eye over your staff. Installing the right system that can monitor the exterior of the building, all entrance and exits and are strategically placed throughout the interior is necessary. So, what system best covers all of these bases? Closed circuit television (CCTV) security systems could be the solution to your surveillance system needs. 

What is CCTV?
CCTV is a system where the circuit in which the video is transmitted is closed and all the elements (camera, display monitors, recording devices) are directly connected. The most common use of CCTV is in security camera systems. They’ve been used for years in areas like large retail shops, banks, and government institutions.

CCTV isn’t only used for security purposes, however. They are used in stadiums to broadcast sports and special events. They are also used in large cities, along major highways and used in traffic law enforcement.  Most airports and train stations have also installed security cameras connected to CCTV systems with the goal of combating terrorism.

Hidden cameras can also be integrated into any CCTV network. These can be more effective in identifying unsuspecting thieves who think they have avoided all of the obvious security cameras.
