CCTV, also known as closed-circuit television is a system that allows you to keep an eye on the happenings in and around your business. It allows you to view live events using cameras or monitors, while recorders store footage to be used in the future. Don't think of the CCTV monitor for an ordinary television. It does not receive broadcasts from the public and only footage from the security cameras that are on the premises.

CCTV technology has been around for a long time, but advances in recent years have made it even more effective at capturing criminals in the act and getting them in the dock. Think about the different components of a CCTV system, and the way they work together.

Security cameras' purpose is to record footage, specifically in dangerous or high-risk areas in and around your building. There are many choices for security cameras with basic features:

Wired security cameras make use of cables to transfer footage and carry out video surveillance. However, the signal could weaken if the transmission distance exceeds 300 meters. This issue can be solved with the use of appropriate networking cables or switches, signal boosters and other equipment. Several cameras can be interconnected to a single monitor located in a secured room.

Analog cameras have been in use for a long time and remain the most popular type of CCTV camera installed today. They're easy to operate and can store video on-site.

IP (Internet protocol) cameras carry out the same functions as their analog counterparts, but with vastly superior capabilities. IP cameras have high-quality, sharper images as well as more flexible options such as remote zoom or shifting. They also give you the possibility of viewing footage on a web browser. You can receive notifications about any unusual camera recordings such as a change in your workplace at 3:00 AM, and access the footage on any device, including smartphones and computers. Their main drawback is the higher cost.

Structured Cabling Services

Each CCTV system, even ones that have wireless cameras, requires cabling. Cables link different parts of the equipment, including monitors, recorders modems and wired cameras.

Video Recorders

When you CCTV camera catches something that is of interest, a recorder ensures you can go back and view it in the future. Although you can set your cameras up to capture all the things you See Details however, it will take up a lot of storage space. You may want to have your cameras set to only record certain times of the day or whenever they detect movements. Video recording options include DVR and NVR.

DVRs, also known as digital video recorders, are the latest alternative to analog recorders that utilize videotapes. DVRs convert analog camera footage to digital format at the necessary resolution and frames per second. When the hard drive is full, new images will be recorded over older footage first.

NVRs, also called network video recorders, function similar to DVRs, however they're compatible with IP cameras. The NVR and cameras connect through a router or network switch. The NVR is accessible via the web browser or mobile application.

One note about hard drives: ensure that you select security-grade hard drives to run your DVR or NVR. They are constructed with more durable components than regular hard drives for computers, which means they can run 24/7 in the event of need.

Display Unit

To see the live footage or recordings from your security cameras, you need to connect your DVR or NVR to a monitor or TV. The display unit of your CCTV system may be anything from a basic monochrome screen to an HD-color monitor.
