CCTV (Closed Circuit Television)

High security doors, locks, various access control systems, intercoms, security bars, and other protection devices are and have always been successful in deterring most crime and unapproved access to specific areas.

When these products are used with a closed circuit television system it can make them even more effective and cost friendly to any company or home requiring this type of security.

Barring the need for large systems in places such as large banks, airports or government facilities these systems are highly effective for apartment buildings, parking garages stores of various kind and small to medium offices and office complexes and are easily installed by your Escondido locksmith who already services most of your access control security needs.

In order to make you more familiar with this kind of system that you might be considering we are going to discuss the main parts of a closed circuit television system that are important to have a basic understanding of.

When in an indoor building or outdoor area utilizing CCTV the first thing anyone notices are the cameras. Whether there is one or many of them you see them, they see you and it is a great form of security and monitoring. Cameras can either be color or black and white. While less expensive, black and white cameras are better for outdoor use and low light environments. As mentioned above about seeing the cameras, which are called overt cameras, they can also be installed to be covert, that is disguised or hidden so as to give the appearance it or they are not there. Covert cameras can be hidden in places such as smoke detectors, exit signs, radios and wall clocks.

If cost is a concern try and steer more towards the solid state camera as tube cameras are rather expensive and have a short life span.

Pan and tilt drives are available for those who need a camera to have the ability to be up or down, left or right and also can be used remotely.

In regards to cost, as well, adding housing to protect the camera or cameras will certainly be cost effective and help in lessening any large replacement costs or service and repair calls.

Monitors are necessary for a business in order to view what the camera is seeing and recording. Like cameras they also are made in color and black and white models and can come equipped with a switch allowing the person viewing to see different angles, areas or multiple ones at a time. While there is not real need for color monitors and the extra cost it is also best to use monitors larger than ten inches.

Video recorders (one or more) are absolutely required as a camera, even though we think it is the camera that is recording, is actually viewing and sending the images to a monitor which is hooked up to the video recorder or multiple recorders. Standard video recorders can be used as can standard video tape to keep costs lower when installing a CCTV system.
