CCTV
CCTV is a great deterrent and a great way to capture evidence if the worst does happen. Unlike the low-quality images cheaper systems capture, modern, professional security cameras and recording systems can record amazing footage. But you need professionally installed, high quality CCTV to ensure that you’re doing the job properly. Get it wrong and you might as well have had a bunch of dummy cameras screwed onto your building for all the good it will do you when you need pin-sharp footage in court.
Electric Gate Repair London specialises in all things security-related for your home and business. We design, build and install electric gates to control who can come onto your property. If anyone does manage to break onto your land, our professional CCTV systems monitor their actions and record ever step they take.
What is CCTV?
CCTV stands for ‘Closed Circuit Television’. While a CCTV system includes cameras, monitors and recording devices just like regular TV production, there’s no transmission of the video footage to an audience as there is with broadcast or streaming TV. Instead, the cameras are set up to capture video, the recording device records the video, and the footage can be played back for private viewing on the monitor(s).
What is CCTV for?
CCTV is used for security because it gives you two things that help you keep your property secure. Firstly, you have a deterrent from high visibility cameras and warning signs announcing that CCTV is in use. Secondly, the footage captured by the cameras can be invaluable in helping identify and prosecute offenders caught doing anything illegal.
So, with that in mind, what does a good quality CCTV system need to include?
CCTV Systems
CCTV Cameras
CCTV cameras should be robust enough to shrug off the worst weather. They can be static cameras that watch a fixed area, or PTZ cameras that can pan from side to side, tilt up and down or zoom in on anything in their field of view. But PTZ cameras need to be controlled by an operator monitoring them or set to move in fixed patterns to watch a larger area.
CCTV Monitors
CCTV monitors can be specialised monitors or even just your TV at home. Multiple screens can be used for systems with many cameras and live footage can be monitored by monitoring stations manned 24 hours a day.
CCTV Recording Devices
CCTV System Installation
Installing effective CCTV systems requires experience and knowledge to ensure you get the right equipment. Knowledgeable installers also know how to identify possible access points, areas that are vulnerable to attack and other security weak spots to ensure maximum effective coverage is provided. Some think that it’s just a case of screwing a few CCTV cameras up under the eaves or on the garage or offices to protect their homes or business. But there’s a lot more to it and hiring professional CCTV installers pays for itself in hardware selection, identification and coverage of risk areas, and peace of mind.
As an example, CCTV cameras are often installed high off the ground so that they can’t be reached and turned away. But, if they’re too high and looking down at too steep an angle, they’re just recording the tops of heads which is useless.
We’ve seen many cases where cheaper CCTV systems have been installed by untrained installers not completely aware of the subtleties of camera positioning for maximum coverage. The results often so poor that no identification could be made of intruders when they occasionally appeared on camera.
Domestic CCTV
Protect your home from unwanted attention from anti-social behaviour and criminal activity from burglars, vandals and anyone intent on breaking onto your property.
