CCTV - An Overview
CCTV Surveillance is essentially an eye in the sky. It allows activity, events
and circumstances to be recorded and reviewed by anyone with access to the system.
CCTV systems can be as unsophisticated as a camcorder recording a family event to sophisticated
satellite linked remote viewing on an international level.
A modern cctv system would comprise of a number of strategically placed cameras feeding into a
Digital Video Recorder which may in turn be viewed by a live operator, viewed off site, linked to a remote
monitored security desk or attached to intruder alarms.
Activity can be monitored and measured. Theft, non compliance to procedures, idleness, absenteeism,
delinquent behaviour and fraudulent use of time cards are just a few of the applications where cctv can help a
business increase profitability. Commendable performance can also be observed.
Training and performance effectiveness can also be measures by cctv. Behaviour and performance can
be measured against expected training outcomes. Monitored images can also be used to train in turn - allowing
the inductee to see what the expected performance looks like.
The opportunities are endless. All are aimed at increasing the sustainability of the business,
removing uncertainty and increasing peace of mind.
No more will you need to worry about what's going on. With remote viewing you can log in and check
out what's happening from anywhere that has an internet connection.
