Security Overview - CCTV

Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) has been around for many years. There were previously many drawbacks with the traditional CCTV systems such as high maintenance, VCR machines being stolen in burglaries, poor quality video due to lack of maintenance, and the inability to have external notification at the time of an event. Digital Video Management Systems (DVMS) solve all of these as they are able to;

• Be stored in secure locations thereby avoiding theft of the recorder itself.
• Have a digital hard disk that does not reduce quality of video over time.
• Be virtually maintenance free.
• Give remote notification at the time of event.

The adoption of Digital Video Management Systems will ultimately improve security for both business and residential premises and brings parts of the security industry into the digital age.
