CCTV is used to monitor locations where a human is not available to monitor. CCTV does not broadcast to just any individual with a television, but instead is hooked up directly by physical line or routing server, to monitors or recording devices. CCTV finds a variety of purposes on public and private property, for the purposes of security, forensics, and behavior or activity monitoring.
Governments around the world use CCTV for security efforts. The cameras can not only find evidence of crimes after the fact, but also deter crime if potential criminals are aware that their crimes will be caught on tape. The United Kingdom is renowned to have one of the largest deployments of CCTV in large cities, such as London. While some critics believe the CCTV Camera is an invasion of privacy, thee cameras are frequently used to solve crimes.
CCTV is widely used in the private sector for security purposes. It is used in casinos in order to make sure that gamblers are not cheating, stealing, signalling to each other, fighting or engaging in any other illegal or disruptive attitude. CCTV cameras can be found in convenience stores, clothing stores, department stores and malls to catch and to deter theft. CCTV is also widely used in airports to track any suspicious activity.
Homeowners can use CCTV in any number of capacities. CCTV can be part of a home security system, to detect and record robberies or violent crimes, or even just to find out who is knocking on the door without having to leave the kitchen or living room. Parents may use a small CCTV Camera to record their children with their babysitter to make certain that the children are not misbehaving and that the babysitter is watching over the children carefully, and not abusing his or her freedom.
CCTV is used in certain industrial applications, such as electricity, water, nuclear or research and design plants. The unique purpose of CCTV in these locations is to watch or monitor a process in a location where people would be unsafe, for instance, inside the housing for a nuclear reactor. These locations may also use CCTV to monitor employee behavior and/or any activity at the perimeter at the plant for security purposes.
