CCTV and video security technology explained
CCTV is one of the most commonly used security devices in the UK. The initials stand for Closed Circuit Television and the purpose of CCTV systems is to fight crime by the means of detection of wrongdoers and through acting as a physical deterrent in locations where they are highly visible.
CCTV is a common sight in small retail outlets as in-store systems and shopping centres as long range recording devices as well as in car parks of all sizes. There have been advances in the field of video recording in recent years which have led to the falling price of CCTV technology. As a result of this systems are now in many cases affordable for private use as well as for businesses, with increasing numbers of homeowners turning to CCTV to solve their own security issues. As well as this local authorities have started using long range cameras in town and city centres in order to discourage disorderly behaviour and promote safety. Features such as computerised facial recognition (to avoid the possibility of human error that comes with staring at a screen for prolonged amounts of time) are also coming into common usage. However these developments have not come without controversy: Many people believe this level of surveillance constitutes an infringement on peoples’ human rights.
Indeed CCTV and surveillance does arouse suspicion in even the least cynical of citizens. However as a security measure it is hard to argue with the results it gets in terms of bringing criminals to justice. That means for the foreseeable future CCTV will continue to be a popular security measure.
