CCTV is now a common technology. But were you aware of the many different uses for it? Here we take a look at the five most popular uses of a CCTV camera.
Surveillance of public areas. CCTVs are usually found in most public places such as banks, airports, subways, stores and malls, and even in the streets. Having a CCTV system can offer a sense of peace and safety to the everyday citizen. The awareness that criminals and terrorists are less likely to commit violent acts when there are cameras around brings comfort to people.
Surveillance against crimes. Numerous case studies had proven that the presence of CCTV, whether visible or hidden, reduces crimes against people, as well as occurrences of violence. The fact that the suspect's details can be recorded in the cameras and can be used to catch him later on can greatly discourage someone from committing a crime. Other than observing criminal acts, the surveillance systems are also being used to combat anti-social behaviours which consist of minor offenses such as littering, urinating in public, drunkenness, traffic violations and other public order offenses.
Security for commercial premises. Many businesses today have CCTVs installed in their establishments, not only to prevent theft and vandalism and to have a 24-hour surveillance capacity, but can also provide video footage to the police in case something did occur. Some businesses have also found other uses for the CCTV besides security purposes, in which they allow their customers to view their services through the use of the internet. That way, customers can see their items, and it provides a great personal touch, as well as helps catch any errors before the customer even receives their package.
Home security. What used to be very pricey, and difficult to configure systems are now very reasonable, easy to configure, and with easy maintenance, and they provide much more versatility and usefulness than just a few years ago. It has become more affordable for private individuals, as they can now install CCTV on their homes and property to provide safety to their family and homes. This is especially useful when everyone would be leaving the house.
Traffic maintenance. With cameras watching the roads, it has become easier for many traffic and transport groups to observe the roads. It enables them to spot accidents, obstructions and any other road problems, allowing them to identify the location and fix it right away. This would prevent any other traffic problems that could arise if such incidents are not immediately noted. - 15485
