CCTV

urveillance Camera
Continuous observation of a place ,

person, group or ongoing activities in
order to gathering information. This
is also known as CCTV( closed circuit
television) camera.
Surveillance camera
main purpose
A surveillance camera is used in
surveillance to monitor public or private
areas that need to be monitored for
security reasons. Modern security cameras
use closed-circuit television (CCTV)
technology, which employs video cameras
that transmit signals to a specific limited
set of monitors.
Leading manufacturers of commercial security system hardware and

soft ware include:
2GIG Technologies
Honeywell
ADT
Siemens
Bosch
STI
DSC
GE Security
Tyco
Visonic
history
1942 First CCTV security camera surveillance system
installed. German engineer Walter Bruch was responsible for
the design and installation of the CCTV security camera
surveillance system. 1956 First VCR produced by Ampex
Corporation team led by Charles Ginsburg. 19 year old
engineer Ray Dolby was also part of the team. Built for
commercial business use. 1960s First digital camera signals
used in cameras over analog by NASA. 1972 First VCR for
home use produced by Philips. 1996 The first IP camera was
released in 1996 by Axis Communications. 1998 First
consumer digital video recorders (DVR) released to the public.
How Do surveillance Cameras Work?

CCTV camera systems includes one or
more cameras which are used to send
video images and audio data to a
monitor. Essentially, these camera
systems use cameras to transmit the
signals to a main hub which then
records that data for later viewing or
live viewing if you have full time
types
Surveillance cameras are being
installed everywhere for purpose of
security and crime prevention and
detection. There are many types of
surveillance cameras are available for
this purpose.
Indoor camera
Outdoor camera
IR Day/Night Camera
Dome Camera
Bullet Camera
Hidden Camera
Pan Tilt Zoom Camera
Types Of CCTV Systems

CCTV Systems are broadly divided
into two types. These are:
Wired CCTV System
Wireless CCTV System
Wired CCTV System

Wired CCTV systems connect the camera to
the recording device and monitor with the help
of standard coaxial cables or Unshielded
Twisted Pair(UTP) cables or fiber optic cables.
The image data is usually transmitted over a
coaxial cable. The signal transmitted over
these cables is then fed into a monitor or set
of monitors if the image needs to be visible
indifferent locations.
Wireless CCTV System

Basically, Wireless CCTV systems are similar
to wired CCTV systems. The difference is that
a radio transmitter is attached to the camera.
A radio receiver then attached to the input on
the monitor system or computer. Wireless
systems are useful when the distance
between the camera and the monitor is too
far to be practical for a cable run.
Uses Of CCTV
CCTV is commonly used for a variety of purposes, including:
Maintaining perimeter security in medium-to-high-secure areas and
installations.
Observing behavior of incarcerated inmates and potentially dangerous
patients in medical facilities.
Traffic Monitoring
Building and ground security.
Overseeing locations that would be hazardous to a human. for
example, highly radioactive environment.
Obtaining a visual record of activities where it is necessary to maintain
proper security. for example, in banks, casinos, or airports.
Advantages
Deters Crime: The presence of CCTV camera system for surveillance will
reduce petty thefts and vandalism in shops, malls and other public places.
Helps Maintain Records: The images and videos captured by a CCTV
camera system are often recorded and stored into a database.
Protects Employees: This is particularly helpful in customer service
centers. The employees providing customer service may sometimes be
subjected to verbal abuse or physical attacks. CCTV camera system helps
to identify such instances and act immediately. It is also helpful to keep a
tab on the activities of the employees.
For Evidence in Lawsuits: In legal cases of thefts and other forms of
crime, videos and images provided by the CCTV camera system can serve
as a valid proof and evidence against the defaulter.
Disadvantages
Do Not Work Always: CCTV camera system cannot monitor every
area of your office or home at all times. Hence it cannot be
considered as a foolproof method for crime prevention.
Privacy Concerns: Invasion of privacy is the major issue when it
comes to any security system device like the CCTV camera
system. It lowers the employee morale and hampers productivity
at times. Constant monitoring of every activity might put the
workers ill at ease.
Initial Costs: The initial costs incurred per camera are high. The
installation may also increase the initial expenditure. It depends
upon the complexity of the CCTV camera system as well.
The Future Of CCTV Cameras

The future of CCTV is IP CCTV. IP CCTV stands
for Internet Protocol Close Circuit Television.
With IP CCTV the video management has
become so simple. You can store and retrieve
both analog and digitally recorded video
footage and access it via an internet
connection anywhere in the world. Especially
with the growth of Cloud Computing, the IP
CCTV has seen a massive boom.
IP CAMERA
IP cameras use the

Internet Protocol (IP) used by
most Local Area Networks (LANs)
to transmit video across data
networks in digital form.
