What is CCTV Camera Surveillance?
CCTV video surveillance is the use of strategically placed CCTV cameras that captures footage over an area, and transmits this footage to a monitor for real time viewing. CCTV cameras connect via cable to a recording device known as a DVR (Digital Video Recorder). DVRs allow you to store the recorded footage for future playback.
