Many large residential complexes, gated communities, parking lots and apartment houses are relying on a CCTV security camera system to provide an extra security factor for their residents and clients. A security camera is being used in many other applications now as well. A surveillance security camera can watch for illegal entry or unauthorized presence in high risk areas. A security camera can record illegal traffic activities such as speeding or running a stop sign.
Many independent studies in the United States and United Kingdom have suggested that CCTV surveillance acts as a powerful deterrent, stopping crimes before they happen. Studies also show strong evidence that CCTV can be an extremely effective tool in detection and prosecution. The men believed to have been responsible for the July terrorist attacks on London's public transport system were later identified on the prevalent CCTV networks in the U.K.'s public places.
Another important development is that CCTV also facilitate remote monitoring i.e. you do not have to be on site to view the images. So it is possible to view real time images of what is happening back home from your work place or on holiday, you need to type in the URL of the server that controls the wireless cameras from any browser. You can see these images just as easily on your mobile phone. Some security companies will also provide a service that monitors the premises for you, so you effectively are renting the equipment. That way you can keep up with any major technical advances.
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.
