Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) is using a video camera to record areas around your place of work that could be used as evidence if an incident should occur.  The images on your own security system will be different from television quality as the signal is not openly transmitted to everyone.

Technology has advanced drastically over the last 10 years.  Cameras seem to be moving away from analogue and video tape to digital and DVD.

Cost is the main factor as to what a security manager will look at when wanting to install a security CCTV system.  Looking at small business security it is possible to set up a wireless camera or cameras inside and out of your premises and access the images anywhere in the world.

CCTV is most often used for surveillance in businesses that require constant monitoring – as in casinos, airports and banks or even military installations and supermarkets.

Did You Know:

In the UK there is one CCTV camera for every 14 people of the population.

 

Business requirements

What do you need?

Are those looking at the visuals checking to see if people are in a restricted area or is it important for the faces to be clear enough to recognise who the people are as with a possible break in?  What is the lighting like? Do you need to use the same camera for day and night surveillance?

Cameras can do a many things at present day from being able to see people both inside and out through to having vandal proof casing and even wireless joystick control movement of a point, target zoom (PTZ) camera.  That is why it is vitally important to understand what you want to achieve with the images from your surveillance system and not going out and buying the cheapest or most expensive system available.

Handcuffs have been designed as restraints to keep individuals wrists together so that they cannot harm yourself, your workers or themselves. They are also used to prevent suspected criminals from escaping police custody.

Did you Know:

In Japan, if a person is photographed or filmed handcuffed, their hands have to be pixelated if the pictures are going to be used on TV or in the newspapers. This is because someone who had been arrested brought a successful case to court arguing that being pictured in handcuffs implies guilt, and had prejudices the trial.

Did You Know:

Combat boots
are military boots designed to be worn by soldiers during actual combat or combat training as opposed to during parades and other ceremonial duties. Soldiers have worn boots in battle for much of recorded history; early specialised boots included the hobnail boots of the Roman legions.
