CCTV Systems and CCTV Cameras

CCTV Systems - ( Closed Circuit TV Systems ) have been around for many years; and like most technology based products have taken quantum leaps in recent times.

We are all used to seeing cctv images on TV and news broadcasts as well as seeing all the cameras positioned to watch what's going on. Shops, banks, malls, and even streets these days, all have cctv cameras watching for mischief of some kind or other.

Even the small Mom and Pop stores have cctv these days.

What used to be very expensive, complicated and difficult to configure is now very reasonably priced,easy to configure,easy to maintain, and provides much more versatility and value than just a few years ago.

CCTV cameras play an important role in how effective a cctv system is. Just like there are dozens of digfferent cameras on the market - all with different capabilities and varying costs - so tothere are dozens of different cctv cameras all designed for different applications.

To the layman, a cctv camera is just a cctv camera . To the cctv professional however, a cctv camera is a very specifically selected combination of camera, lens, mounting, housing and cabling.

If there is a secret to a successful CCTV solution it is understanding the scope of the application and knowing which combination of components will achieve the best results within the applications particular environment.

Thus identifying the appropriate cctv camera is an essential element in building the the most effective cctv system.
