CCTV cameras were once renowned for the grainy, low definition pictures, low frame rates and huge, ungainly and very unappealling cameras clogging up any businesses who took security seriously.
Of course, with the fact that camera technology has been swept forward over the past two decades, you can now get a CCTV system that offers unparalleled coverage, excellent quality footage of everything that is happening, with small and discreet cameras. And all for a price that might surprise you. After all, digital cameras are everywhere and the same breakthroughs in technology that mean you have a means of taking pictures with your phone, or using your laptop to talk to auntie Jean in Australia means that CCTV cameras today are of unbelievable quality compared to their predecessors.
It isn't just digital camera technology that has been pushing the CCTV security market forward, DVRs (Digital Video Recorders) mean that you can save days and days worth of full colour footage on a box the size of a old VCR, backing it up onto DVD if you need long term storage. Automatic motion detection means that the cameras only record when there is something happening, further saving space. IR lights and filters means that your cameras can watch over your premises and still catch all of the detail, even in pitch darkness. Wireless transmission and remote monitoring means that you can have constant supervision from a remote location, so a real human checks every disturbance and if needed can contact you, the police, or even use a tannoy system to speak to whoever is being watched on the cameras.
IP Cameras are an excellent way of getting CCTV survellience for your business. Using standard computer network equipment to connect the system, you can often piggyback on any existing system - saving on the cost and distruption of installation. Of course, even if you don't have an existing computer network, you at least save thanks to a wide availability of computer networking hardware available. No need to pay for expensive, exclusive CCTV hardware just so that the cameras can send signals to the recorder. You can even use wireless connections to install cameras where you need them without worrying about about unsightly cords cluttering up your walls.
