Although surveillance cameras may have originally been developed to provide security for banks, there are a variety of other applications that these devices can be used for today. This powerful technology has become more affordable, and can enhance the effectiveness of any home’s or small business’ security system.
Advances in closed circuit TV (CCTV) – a system that directly connects video to a recording or viewing source without being broadcast – technology is turning video surveillance equipment into the most valuable safety/security tool available today for both commercial and residential applications. The use of surveillance camera systems can help you monitor threatening situations, giving you the ability to act on them before they worsen, as well as provide you with an important record of events. Monitoring your store or business can be invaluable in identifying and apprehending thieves and vandals. The prevention or resolution of just one crime would be valuable enough to pay for video surveillance system equipment many times over.
CCTV surveillance can be used for a variety of security concerns. Retailers use CCTV video surveillance systems to monitor shoplifters and dishonest employees, compile recorded evidence against bogus accident claims and monitor merchandising displays in their stores. Manufacturers, governments, hospitals and universities use video surveillance equipment to identify visitors and employees, monitor hazardous work areas, thwart theft and ensure the security of their premises and parking facilities.
Additionally, while you're away from home, video surveillance equipment and wireless cameras can provide you with peace of mind by being able to view your home right on your smart phone, tablet or laptop. Viewing your camera footage has never been so easy. These ease-of-use innovations will help you monitor a variety of activities, such as when your children come home from school or when your cleaning person comes and goes.
