CCTV or Closed Circuit Television Best Surveillance System
CCTV, or Closed Circuit Television, is a surveillance system that uses video cameras to transmit a video feed to a specific location on a limited set of monitors. CCTV is often used in public places in order to catch criminals in the act while they cross a national border, break traffic laws, or commit other crimes. CCTV can also be used for home or business security, however, to monitor a specific location and allow their owner(s) of that home or business to monitor vandalism, invasion, or other threats.
Where To Buy CCTV Products
CCTV systems can be purchased from many different suppliers and may be installed by those providers for an additional fee. For Canadian citizens, Alarm Guard Security is one of the best providers of CCTV systems and accessories. This company is based in Ontario and has dozens of various surveillance cameras, microphones, security alarms, and other monitoring products that allow home and business owners to make sure that they’re families and property are safe.
Installing CCTV
While installing your CCTV system will vary depending on the individual model you have purchased, installing CCTV is usually a simple matter of placing your cameras where you want them to be, running an audio/video cable to your TV or setting up a WiFi connection, and configuring your CCTV control panel to work with your surveillance cameras.
Advantages of CCTV
The advantages of CCTV include the ability to monitor your own home or business’s security without third-party companies or individuals seeing your video feeds, the ability to check your CCTV feeds from virtually any Internet-enabled device from anywhere in the world, and the ability to alert local authorities or other emergency personnel directly from the CCTV control panel. CCTV systems are usually affordable, easy to install, and are available in a wide variety of sizes.
CCTV systems are particularly advantageous to individuals who cannot afford third-party home security services or those who simply don’t want other people to be able to see what goes on in their home or business.
Disadvantages of CCTV
The disadvantage of using your own CCTV system instead of having your home or business monitored by a third-party service provider is that you will be completely responsible for contacting your local authorities or emergency personnel on your own rather than having a service provider monitor your security for you around the clock.
