Looking for a security system that will keep your business safe? Consider installing a CCTV system. CCTV systems provide video footage of all activity in and around your business premises, which can be used as evidence in the event of an incident. They can also act as a deterrent to potential criminals. Here's what you need to know about CCTV systems to decide if they are the right fit for your business.

What is a CCTV System?

A CCTV system, or closed-circuit television system, consists of three components: cameras, recording devices and monitors. The cameras record what they see and transfer the images to either: (i) recording devices such as DVRs; or (ii) monitors for real-time viewing. If an incident occurs, the recorded footage can be used as evidence in court proceedings. A properly maintained CCTV system provides accurate information that facilitates justice served quickly and efficiently.

There are two types of surveillance camera systems: analogue and digital.

Digital systems use network protocols such as TCP/IP to broadcast video data over computer networks, such as the Internet. Network-based security systems allow users to view their camera(s) remotely via a computer or a web-enabled mobile phone.

CCTV images have varying degrees of quality depending on factors such as the type of camera, lighting conditions and motion in the picture. Poorly installed systems can produce images that are too dark or contain insufficient detail for effective identification.

Surveillance cameras with high light sensitivity (infrared illuminators) enable usage during nighttime hours with little to no ambient light and thus perform better than fixed home CCTV equipment designed only for daytime use. While more expensive, PTZ (pan/tilt/zoom) cams — which cover an area by moving their lens — offer flexibility and may improve safety at dangerous locations such as schools where children frequently pass through unmonitored areas.

Fixed cameras are generally used as a deterrent because of their anonymity, while PTZ cameras are usually equipped with LEDs to aid law enforcement in determining whether the camera is active at a particular location. A drawback of fixed cameras is the inability to detect mischief until it occurs, which may be too late for prevention. To improve footage quality and ensure optimum-coverage during nighttime hours, several security companies have developed color night vision CCTV cameras with high light sensitivity (infrared illuminators) .

As businesses continue to face an increase in crime, many are turning to CCTV as a way to deter criminals and protect their assets. Whilst there is no doubt that CCTV can be an effective tool in reducing crime, it is important to understand the benefits and limitations of this technology before investing.

One of the major advantages of a CCTV system is its ability to capture low-resolution images of intruders, even in poor lighting conditions. However, many people equate a camera's viewing range with how well it can "see" at night; this is not always the case. Without an effective infrared illumination source (which most cameras do not have), footage captured at night will typically be nothing more than a dimly lit blur. Even standard exposure settings often fail to effectively capture an intruder's image in these dark areas. Infrared illumination is used in conjunction with traditional CCTV cameras and produces clear images during both day and night hours. Although the presence of infrared illumination may make it appear as though a camera has all-seeing eyes, there are several factors which determine how well a camera is able toidentify people.
