Perhaps you already saw the term &#8220;CCTV&#8221; while researching around, but you don&#8217;t know what it means.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">What is CCTV?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; cursor: text;\">CCTV stands for Closed-Circuit Television. It&#8217;s a video surveillance system used for security purposes. The first CCTV system with analog cameras was used in 1942 in Germany to monitor rocket launch and later evolved to a more sophisticated system that uses digital surveillance cameras with video analytics capabilities.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"width: 100%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"CCTV operator\" width=\"600\" height=\"401\" title=\"What is CCTV\" data-id=\"8933\" src=\"https:\/\/learncctv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/O-que-e-CFTV.jpg\" style=\"\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; cursor: text;\">There are many modern CCTV cameras that can be used for different applications, even for home security.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; cursor: text;\">Many modern CCTV cameras can be used for different applications, even for home security. Let&#8217;s take a look at some of them.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Applications for CCTV<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">CCTV cameras are used mainly in the following places:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Airports<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Banks<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify; cursor: text;\">Hospitals<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Warehouses<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Schools<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hotels<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Casinos<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Stadiums<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Seaports<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Police Station<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Military<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Commercial Centers<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Vehicles (Truck, buses, car, trains)<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Train station<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bus station<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Offices<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Homes<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Condominium<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"cursor: text;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">How do CCTV systems work?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; cursor: text;\">Suppose you install security cameras in malls, shops, schools, businesses, or other locations and take the cables from each of the cameras to a recording and monitoring center. In that case, you will have your <strong>Closed Circuit Television<\/strong>, which can record footage from the cameras.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At first, security systems could not be monitored remotely; operators were required to look at the screens for something suspicious and react according to some security protocol.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Security systems help on crime prevention<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; cursor: text;\">One of the ideas of using cameras to help law enforcement avoid or reduce the incidence of crimes, since cameras are installed in closed or public places, there is a tendency to minimize crimes because the area is being watched, the criminal thinks twice before acting.<\/p>\n<p><span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Policeman arrests criminal\" width=\"720\" height=\"481\" title=\"Policeman arrests criminal\" src=\"https:\/\/learncctv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Policeman-arrests-cruminal.jpg\" data-id=\"12275\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>CCTV security systems helps law enforcement&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; cursor: text;\">It&#8217;s hard to say with 100% certainty whether you are being monitored when walking through public places. With the massive production of new <strong>security cameras<\/strong>, it is easy to find them installed in many areas.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Traffic and accident control<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You will hardly drive on the road from one city to another without being monitored by at least one security camera. Nowadays, it is very common to find them installed on poles along great highways and even on streets and avenues of small and large cities.<\/p>\n<p><span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"CCTV camera  for traffic monitoring\" width=\"700\" height=\"425\" title=\"CCTV camera  for traffic monitoring\" data-id=\"8973\" src=\"https:\/\/learncctv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Camera-de-CFTV-no-transito.jpg\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Security systems have become essential tools for traffic and accident control in various locations around the world. From a surveillance center, it is possible to view images from all the cameras.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"cursor: text;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">CCTV security systems for business<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; cursor: text;\">Factories, banks, and many other types of companies use security cameras to monitor manufacturing processes and products; some even use them to control activities performed by employees to record what is happening during working hours.<\/p>\n<p><span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"CCTV cameras in a mall\" width=\"720\" height=\"369\" title=\"CCTV cameras in a mall\" src=\"https:\/\/learncctv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/CCTV-cameras-in-a-mall.jpg\" data-id=\"12276\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>CCTV cameras in a mall<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; cursor: text;\">It is common to have recorded evidence of employees&#8217; misbehavior to be used in lawsuits. Sometimes the footage can also benefit the employee. It all depends on what is on the CCTV footage of the video recorders.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">How analog CCTV systems work<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; cursor: text;\">The concept of traditional analog CCTV systems is quite simple; a camera must be connected directly to a monitor through coaxial cables that can carry the analog signal.<\/p>\n<p><span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Analog CCTV camera\" width=\"719\" height=\"304\" title=\"Analog CCTV camera\" src=\"https:\/\/learncctv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Analog-CCTV-camera.jpg\" data-id=\"12277\" data-width=\"719\" data-height=\"304\" data-init-width=\"720\" data-init-height=\"304\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The first analog CCTV cameras were a very low-resolution model. It was impossible to observe the details of objects and people with such a camera.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; cursor: text;\">With the resolution measured in TV lines, representing the number of lines generated and displayed on a monitor, this type of system will cease to exist in the next few years.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Traditional security systems<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; cursor: text;\">A CCTV system&#8217;s idea is to generate, store, and display the videos on a monitor. The diagram below exemplifies this concept on the three blocks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; cursor: text;\">The cameras generate the images, record the footage, and finally, a monitor displays the video from the camera or tape recorder.<\/p>\n<p><span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"CCTV basic diagram\" width=\"698\" height=\"225\" title=\"CCTV basic biagram\" data-id=\"2146\" src=\"\/\/learncctv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/CCTV-basic-Diagram.png\" data-width=\"698\" data-height=\"225\" data-init-width=\"700\" data-init-height=\"225\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The videos from the cameras were recorded in analog format by using a VCR (Video Cassette Recorder) on old CCTV systems.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To date, this VCR recording technology is obsolete, but decades ago, that equipment was manufactured to ensure high-quality recording.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was very common to argue about what are the best VCRs. Many of the best ones were developed and manufactured in Japan with the latest technology.<\/p>\n<p><span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"VCR recorder\" width=\"720\" height=\"204\" title=\"VCR recorder\" src=\"https:\/\/learncctv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/VCR-recorder.jpg\" data-id=\"12278\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>VCR recorder<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; cursor: text;\">It&#8217;s not easy to find VCRs being used on such systems because they have changed from analog to digital.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"cursor: text;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Recording with tapes<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Cassette tapes for VCRs were produced on a large scale throughout the world in residential and industrial systems.

But that was not the case for old CCTV systems.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; cursor: text;\">In traditional CCTV systems, it was common to use VCRs connected directly to analog monitors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; cursor: text;\">The idea is to bring the signals from the cameras to the VCR to record the footage and display it on analog monitors with the maximum number of lines, which means the system has high-resolution.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"width: 100%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Analog CCTV Monitor\" width=\"400\" height=\"279\" title=\"Analog CCTV Monitor\" src=\"https:\/\/learncctv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Analog-CCTV-Monitor.jpg\" style=\"\" data-id=\"12281\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Analog CCTV Monitor<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Some camera mounts have an internal motor that allows controlling the camera&#8217;s movement directly from the surveillance room by using a joystick.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2poqz4D\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"outline: none; display: inline-block;\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&gt;&gt; Click here to see an example of a &nbsp;CCTV joystick on Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; cursor: text;\">Even in analog systems, it is possible to use cameras with advanced features.
