What are CCTV Systems?

A CCTV (closed-circuit television) is a surveillance system which comprises of cameras, video and displays for monitoring activity in a property or designated area, allowing you to monitor and record activity happening in a particular area via the cameras you have installed. The signals in a CCTV system are not publicly distributed but are in place or monitored for surveillance and security purposes. A good and reliable CCTV system requires sound strategic placement of cameras for it to be highly effective at deterring break-ins, vandalism and much more.

What is the purpose of a CCTV System?

The purpose of a CCTV system is for a property owner or organisation to be able to see things happening in a building or area at specific times as well as being alerted to activity happening in real-time or historically to keep a property secure from unauthorised people or activity happening.

The cameras simultaneously transmit footage to a screen which allows the areas where the cameras are installed to be viewed as it is happening and recorded or captured for playback later. A CCTV system captures any illegal activity that could be taking place in and around your property, be it a commercial or residential property.

Why is a CCTV System so important?

CCTV Cameras are important as they monitor buildings, property and access points of businesses to prevent theft, unauthorised access, vandalism, belongings and people. They are also used by local councils and the police to monitor streets, parks, roads, motorways and much more.
