CCTV for the Home : Secure Your Home Today
August 7, 2008
When you monitor your home or office with closed circuit television (CCTV) surveillance, it’s like you have an entire television network devoted to the safety of your home. CCTV broadcasts your security surveillance on a private in-home network. Unlike broadcast television, CCTV components are hooked directly to each other via cables or direct wireless means. Already popular in large public places where security is heightened, such as at airports or casinos, CCTV surveillance systems are becoming more and more widely used in private home settings as well.
Many independent studies in the United States and United Kingdom have suggested that CCTV surveillance acts as a powerful deterrent, stopping crimes before they happen. Studies also show strong evidence that CCTV can be an extremely effective tool in detection and prosecution. The men believed to have been responsible for the July terrorist attacks on London’s public transport system were later identified on the prevalent CCTV networks in the U.K.’s public places.
People who purchase a security camera do have an increased level of security in their homes or businesses. Depending on the sophistication of the surveillance security camera, it can be set up to view any or all areas of the house or grounds, including perimeter, basement or upper floors, a child’s playroom or a swimming pool. In short, any place where an accident could happen could be monitored from a central location.
CCTV?s offer the following features that allow you to monitor multiple areas of your home simultaneously and in real-time: (1) Multiple channel video input (2) Multiple channel audio input (3) Real time display (4) Pan/tilt/zoom (4) USB backup
CCTV video surveillance is subject to the laws regarding a person?s right to privacy. We strongly believe that CCTV security is a powerful addition to your home security system. Your home is your castle, and you have the right to protect it. However, you want to remain on the right side of the law. Therefore, when installing a CCTV system in your home, it is important that you are certain of the legality of your surveillance. Consult with a lawyer or your local law enforcement to ensure that you are meeting all the requirements of local, state, and federal CCTV laws.
