| What exactly IS a CCTV system? CCTV stands for "closed circuit television". Generally speaking, it is a camera or series of cameras connected to and monitored at one location, where the video signal is not broadcast for "open" use. Over recent years, CCTV systems have evolved to allow companies to monitor remote locations through the use of corporate Intranets or even over the Internet through secure viewing software. How does it all work? Camera(s) are placed at various locations of interest and either hard wired or relayed through a wireless system to a recording unit, generally either a time-lapse VCR or digital video recorder (DVR). This unit then records and time stamps the video, and allows playback for the owner. Is there any benefit to having a CCTV system? Yes! Companies have utilized CCTV for everything from entry monitoring, to theft prevention. Private homeowners have in recent years begun augmenting their home security systems with hard wired and wireless cameras to help prevent vandalism and break-ins. DVR units can also be put online to allow users to see the cameras while on vacation over the Internet. I am concerned that some of my employees may be stealing, but don't want to alert them by putting up obvious cameras. What can your company do to solve this?
