CCTV Solutions

CCTV Systems

Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) systems are a common security solution used to monitor and secure an area. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the different types of CCTV systems available and the key features and benefits of each. We’ll also discuss which system is best for different scenarios and provide a summary of the pros and cons of each type of system.

Types of CCTV Systems:

There are two main types of CCTV systems: traditional systems also known as HD CCTV systems that use coaxial cables to transmit the video and audio signals, and IP CCTV systems which use Internet Protocol (IP) technology to transmit the signals over a network.

HD CCTV SYSTEMS:

Traditional CCTV systems, also known as HD CCTV systems, use high-definition cameras to capture clear, detailed images. These systems can be equipped with features such as pan, tilt, and zoom (PTZ) functionality, which allows security personnel to move the cameras remotely to get a better view of the area being monitored. They can also be integrated with other security systems, such as access control systems and alarm systems, to provide a comprehensive security solution.

IP CCTV SYSTEMS: 

IP CCTV systems offer several advantages over traditional systems. They can transmit higher-quality video and audio signals due to the larger bandwidth available on an IP network, and they can be accessed and controlled remotely using a computer or smartphone with an Internet connection. In addition, IP CCTV systems can be integrated with other security systems, such as access control systems and alarm systems, to provide a comprehensive security solution.

Which System is Best for Different Scenarios:

The best CCTV system for a particular scenario will depend on a number of factors, including the size of the area being monitored, the desired level of security, and the budget.

For smaller installations, traditional CCTV systems (HD CCTV System) may be a cost-effective solution that provides high-quality video footage. However, for larger installations or applications that require remote access and control, an IP CCTV system may be a better choice.

Where is CCTV AKA Video Security Surveillance applicable?

The following site applications show how CCTV systems may be able to improve your bottom line profits & safety of you and the others around you, by reducing theft, vandalism and the time spent seeking to reduce general nuisance, crime and/or identifying those responsible for it.

Schools & Collages

As more and more children are open to anything from abuse to abductions installing cameras on site gives a clear view of all covered areas from everyone coming and going, to the checkout counter, play areas and other rooms. This not only gives a visual record of people as they arrive on site but also acts as a deterrent to criminal or abusive behaviour. Also, see the section below on staff fraud.

Manufacturing facilities

Manufacturing facilities and warehouses are stocked up with raw materials, WIP or finished goods at all times and therefore require round the clock monitoring and protection. CP PLUS offers solutions designed especially for industrial setups that cater to all their security needs including perimeter protection; monitoring equipment and production processes; tracking vehicles and people entering and leaving the premises; access control and more.

Hospitality / Health Care

Security and safety at healthcare facilities are important for both quality healthcare and public safety. Hospitals and clinics are a safe haven for those in physical or emotional need, and increasingly seen as a place of refuge in the event of a large-scale emergency such as a natural disaster or terrorist attack

Retail

This is increasingly an area for consideration, especially as most trade magazines estimate retail shrinkage to be in the region of 2-3½% of turnover (This may translate to 20+% of profits). See section what every retailer needs to know!

Vehicle Monitoring

A camera mounted at the entrance to the area will enable you to monitor and record all vehicles, with their number plates, twenty-four hours a day. This is used at a number of locations to deter armed robbery and undesirables from entering. Should they persist in doing so yo

Parking Lots

Car theft is growing at an alarming speed. Although sites are not generally liable for guest’s cars, if a car is damaged or stolen a guest may not feel like returning in the future. We can install a camera system that will cover your parking lots, 365 days a year at a fraction of the cost of employing a foot patrol. Video footage and pictures always make undisputable evidence and can help find those responsible.

Cash Offices

A camera placed within the cash room can deter armed attack or unauthorized staff entry, while a camera outside the cash room can give the staff inside a view not only of who is opposite the door (as does a peephole) but also anyone else in the general area.

Staff, Theft & Fraud

Cellars and kitchens can be covered to deter and detect any staff theft. It is a sad fact that up to 60% of shrinkage from retail premises is now believed to be staff related.
