CCTV – Closed Circuit Television. A television system intended as a “closed” system, rather than broadcast system, to be viewed by only a very limited number of viewers e.g. 1 camera to 1 monitor in its simplest form.
Cameras Work!
Statistics point to major reductions in the amount of crime being committed where cameras are installed. An article in ‘New Scientist’ magazine showed that simply installing a system can reduce crime in the areas covered by over 95%. As our customers inform us that they are having similar results in all types of business, you will begin to appreciate why CCTV is seen by many as the best system for deterrent and detection.
Benefits of CCTV Cameras
CCTV equipment can provide instant alerts when trouble occurs, ensuring that crime against people, theft and vandalism are all substantially reduced. And when crime does occur, CCTV system incident recording can provide valuable evidence, improving the likelihood of a conviction.
CCTV security system technology and CCTV equipment can be used in both internal and external environments to watch over and protect people, property, vehicles and valuables.
CCTV Security Systems – In a retail environment
In the retail sector, the use of CCTV is not confined to the prevention of crime. Properly designed and implemented, modern digital CCTV also provides valuable management information, as well as crowd control, staff monitoring and support.
With a safer environment and increased peace-of-mind for staff, customers and the general public, there are benefits in terms of increased traffic and business.
Internal shrinkage is a major problem for the retail sector. By using CCTV to monitor cashier activity, these losses can be significantly reduced.

“CCTV is a powerful weapon in preventing and detecting crime – just look how it helped us catch the nail bomber in a matter of days. But without proper maintenance, clean lenses and decent tapes, it’s a bit like looking at things through a snowstorm.”
Quote by: Metropolitan Police Service Commissioner, Sir John Stevens.
Whether you are protecting your business or your home against robbery and theft, if you use CCTV to protect your premises, you should check your system.
There are a few simple rules to ensure that CCTV is not rendered useless:
