CCTV SYSTEM
CLOSED CIRCUIT TELEVISION
WHAT IS CCTV SYSTEM ?
CCTV (closed-circuit television) is a TV system in which signals are not publicly distributed but are monitored, primarily for surveillance and security purposes.
CCTV relies on strategic placement of cameras, and observation of the camera›s input on monitors somewhere. Because the cameras communicate with monitors and/or video recorders across private coaxial cable runs or wireless communication links, they gain the designation «closed-circuit» to indicate that access to their content is limited by design only to those able to see it.
DON’T LEAVE YOUR SECURITY TO CHANCE
A burglar alarm without alarm monitoring is just noise – noise that is often ignored. And a CCTV camera that’s not being watched is just a replay of watching your TV walk out the door. We utilise advanced systems to interpret digital data that is transmitted to the 24/7 manned monitoring facility from your security system which is then immediately dealt with by the monitoring centre operators.
WHAT ARE IP SECURITY CAMERA SYSTEMS?
IP security camera systems to some extent are not so familiar for those implementing for the first time, and sometimes they may get confused about this concept truly, so let’s take a step back for
a moment and go to the more popular phrase, aka CCTV(closed-circuit television) surveillance system. It was the main way of achieving perimeter surveillance for home or business in the past. The IP security camera system can simply be regarded as a digitized and networked version of CCTV. IP security camera systems utilize advanced technology and is deemed to be the highest performing video surveillance system available up to now.
The IP security camera system relies on IP cameras to record video footage, and the captured content is distributed over an IP(Internet Protocol) network. This feature makes it superior over CCTV and brings benefits to meet modern requirements on security camera system, such as:
- High resolution video footage capturing
- Remote monitoring
- Motion detection and tracking
- Flexible and simple installation
- No degradation of quality with distance
CCTV IS COMMONLY USED FOR A VARIETY OF PURPOSES, INCLUDING:
- Maintaining perimeter security in medium- to high-secure areas and installations.
- Observing behavior of incarcerated inmates and potentially dangerous patients in medical facilities.
- Traffic monitoring.
- Closed Circuit Television.
- Overseeing locations that would be hazardous to a human, for example, highly radioactive or toxic industrial environments.
- Building and grounds security.
- Obtaining a visual record of activities in situations where it is necessary to maintain proper security or access controls (for example, in a diamond cutting or sorting operation; in banks, casinos, or airports).
