Introduction: CCTV Surveillance Cameras

A CCTV Camera or Closed Circuit TeleVision Camera, is a technology in which video cameras in one place are linked to monitors, or television screens, in a predetermined location. In contrast to broadcast television and digital television, which use radio or digital transmissions to deliver images non-specifically to many locations, a CCTV camera has a fixed connection to the monitors. The connection may be made through wiring or a scrambled radio transmission that is reorganized by the receiver. This technology is frequently employed in Video surveillance.


A CCTV camera may be equipped with many special features, such as the ability to tilt, pan across the room, or pick up images in the dark. A modern CCTV camera can also pick up color, get accurate pictures of small objects at large distances, or make use of video content analysis (VCA). VCA links the camera to a computer, which can then search the video for suspicious activities or specific targets; for example, a red van or a person that loitered near the site of a crime. Other features that can be applied to such videos include facial recognition and biometrics, which are used, imperfectly, to identify individuals by facial features or movements. These cameras are often managed from a control room in another part of the building or in another building entirely.

CCTV surveillance has been a controversial issue that sometimes pits security against privacy. While the CCTV camera has been useful in preventing crime, speeding up the process of finding, charging, and convicting criminals, and combating terrorism, it has also met with civil liberties concerns.
