CCTV Home Security

When you monitor your home or office with closed circuit television (CCTV) surveillance, it's like you have an entire television network devoted to the safety of your home. CCTV broadcasts your security surveillance on a private in-home network. Unlike broadcast television, CCTV components are hooked directly to each other via cables or direct wireless means. Already popular in large public places where security is heightened, such as at airports or casinos, CCTV surveillance systems are becoming more and more widely used in private home settings as well.

What is CCTV exactly? CCTV is a surveillance technology used initially to monitor commercial properties and public places, but has been adapted to the residential property to help home security. It is basically a camera, or a network of linked cameras, that produce viewable and recordable images. It would be quite unusual for a comprehensive security system to be without CCTV. The cameras can interface with other systems such as alarms i.e. the cameras can start recording when an alarm is triggered either automatically or by human intervention. Nowadays, wireless CCTVs systems are gaining popularity as they obviously do away with wiring systems and they are also easier to operate and maintain. They are also easier to protect from being compromised. The wireless cameras also allow for more flexibility and mobility, as it is much easier to install wireless cameras, even in the most inaccessible areas.

The same CCTV video surveillance technology used in our public venues is available for your home. We offer CCTV systems that can monitor every room in your home with clear, high visibility images. CCTV surveillance is available for 4, 9, or up to 16 rooms in your home. By monitoring your family's security on a CCTV network, you are able to record suspicious activities as they occur. Monitor your yard, front door, garage, even your mailbox.

CCTV?s offer the following features that allow you to monitor multiple areas of your home simultaneously and in real-time: (1) Multiple channel video input (2) Multiple channel audio input (3) Real time display (4) Pan/tilt/zoom (4) USB backup

In the past surveillance security cameras have proved to be less than helpful in identifying crime perpetrators such as bank robbers because of the poor quality and grainy videotapes. Steps to increase the quality and clarity of the pictures are helping to catch the criminals. Closed circuit television (CCTV) security cameras allow either human viewing or storage of recorded information. A color security camera makes it even easier to identify suspects in a crime based on hair color or eye color.
