Many large residential complexes, gated communities, parking lots and apartment houses are relying on a CCTV security camera system to provide an extra security factor for their residents and clients. A security camera is being used in many other applications now as well. A surveillance security camera can watch for illegal entry or unauthorized presence in high risk areas. A security camera can record illegal traffic activities such as speeding or running a stop sign.

In at least one high profile case recently, a rapist and murderer of a child was caught on a surveillance security camera and the evidence caught on the videotape convicted him. It is unfortunate that the security camera was not manned by a human security guard who could perhaps have acted in time to prevent the disaster.

The same CCTV video surveillance technology used in our public venues is available for your home. We offer CCTV systems that can monitor every room in your home with clear, high visibility images. CCTV surveillance is available for 4, 9, or up to 16 rooms in your home. By monitoring your family’s security on a CCTV network, you are able to record suspicious activities as they occur. Monitor your yard, front door, garage, even your mailbox.

Speaking of advances in technology, CCTVs now provide a new level of sophistication, such as infrared night vision. The ability to monitor in the dark is obviously fundamental to a comprehensive home security system. Another development is the Passive Infrared motion detection facilities and Pan Tilt Zoom cameras. These cameras are able to rotate horiszontally through 360 degrees, vertically through 900 and have zoom lenses capable of giving more than ten times the current optical zoom.

In the past surveillance security cameras have proved to be less than helpful in identifying crime perpetrators such as bank robbers because of the poor quality and grainy videotapes. Steps to increase the quality and clarity of the pictures are helping to catch the criminals. Closed circuit television (CCTV) security cameras allow either human viewing or storage of recorded information. A color security camera makes it even easier to identify suspects in a crime based on hair color or eye color.
