Closed-circuit television (CCTV) is a system of cameras, monitors and recorders that allow you to view and monitor events in real-time whilst simultaneously recording the footage. IP cameras capture these images digitally, compressing the files to transmit them over the network. This can be through either a wired network, which connects via ethernet cable to a broadband router or wirelessly through a Wi-Fi router.
Wireless systems expand surveillance parameters, allowing cameras to be placed in a wider variety of locations. Advancements in weather and vandal proof technology have also ensured these systems perform equally well outdoors, allowing for increased security both in and around the premises. Footage is accessible through a variety of platforms including desktop, tablet or mobile. Where multiple premises are being monitored, these can be viewed collectively through one single portal that allows for easy observation.
