CCTV stands for 'closed-circuit television', which is more commonly known as video surveillance. CCTV cameras provide monitoring and recording of their surroundings 24/7 and provide valuable data during a criminal or antisocial incident.

There are numerous benefits to installing CCTV:

• Deter criminal activity
• Deter antisocial behaviour
• 24/7 monitoring of the surrounding area
• Recording of incidents provides valuable information
• Increase staff/resident/occupant/public safety
• Increase overall building security

Typically, CCTV systems keep CCTV footage for between 30 and 90 days. This ensures that if an incident occurs, you have a month's worth of recordings to rely on. If an incident occurs, you can save and download the footage and store it for as long as you need it.

There are differences in the way analogue and digital CCTV cameras collect and record their data. Analogue cameras record images which must be converted to digital format. To view the video captured by analogue cameras, the DVR must be connected to a router or monitor. To be viewed remotely, it must be broadcast through an internal network.

DVR stands for digital video recorder. This is a set-top box with an inbuilt hard drive designed to record your CCTV footage. It allows you to watch your footage back and retrieve it whenever you need it.
