What is CCTV?
1) Closed-circuit television (CCTV) is the use of video
cameras to transmit a signal to a specific place, on a limited
set of monitors.
2) It differs from broadcast television in that the signal is not

openly transmitted, though it may employ point to point
(P2P), point to multipoint, or mesh wireless links.
3) Though almost all video cameras fit this definition, the

term is most often applied to those used for surveillance in
areas that may need monitoring such as banks, casinos,
airports, military installations, and convenience stores.
4) CCTV systems may operate continuously or only as required to

monitor a particular event.
5) A more advanced form of CCTV, utilizing Digital Video Recorders

(DVRs), provides recording for possibly many years, with a variety of
quality and performance options and extra features (such as motion-
detection and email alerts).
Uses of CCTV?
CCTV is commonly used for a variety of purposes, including;
Maintaining perimeter security in medium-to-high secure

areas & installations.
Observing behavior of incarcerated inmates and potentially
dangerous patients in medical facilities.
Traffic monitoring
Building & 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.
Working of CCTV Systems
Consists of basically four components:
1. Camera
2. Auto switcher (console):takes radio
signals to monitor, waves converted
into audio & video signals within TV
3. Monitor (TV): converts signals into
videos
4. Cables: media of transmission
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.
Display Monitor
Types of CCTV Systems
CCTV systems are broadly divided into two types. These are-
Wired CCTV System

Wireless CCTV System
1. Wired CCTV Systems
1) 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.
2) 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 in different
locations.
2. Wireless CCTV Systems
1) Basically, wireless CCTV systems are similar to wired CCTV
systems. The difference is that a radio transmitter is attached to the
camera.
2) A radio receiver then attached to the input on the monitor system

or computer.
3) Wireless systems are useful when the distance between the

camera and the monitor is too far to be practical for a cable run.
CCTV Cameras & types
A security camera is used in surveillance to monitor public or private areas that
need to be monitored.
Cameras are of three types:
1. Fixed-angle vision up to 85
2. Rotating- rotates up to 350 (almost a full circle)
3. Tilting type- tilts to 60-90, located along ceiling
or wall, wherever positioned needs electric
connection to constantly charge the batteries.
 Indoor camera
 Outdoor camera
 IR Day/Night camera
 Dome camera
 Bullet camera
 Hidden camera
 Pan Tilt Zoom camera
Advantages of CCTV?
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 CCTV
camera system are often recorded and stored into a database.
Protects employees: this is particularly helpful in customer service
centres.
For evidence in lawsuits: in legal cases of thefts and other forms of
crime, video and images provided by the CCTV camera system can
serve as a valid proof and evidence against the defaulter.
Disadvantages of CCTV?
Do not work always: CCTV 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.
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.
