Closed Circuit Television (CCTV)
Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) involves the use of video cameras to transmit signals
to a specific location and a specific set of video monitors. It is a Television system in
which signals are not publicly distributed but are monitored, primarily for
surveillance and security purposes. The camera recordings are often used with great
success in criminal cases to help identify alleged perpetrators and suspects. CCTV
cameras has a clear benefits. When used in moderation, under the correct guidenace,
surveillance cameras can be invaluable In aiding police and their investigation.
The following communication topics are discussed in this module:
1. Different types of CCTV
2. The difference between the DVR and NVR
3. DVR properties

What’s New
CCTV systems are everywhere in commercial security — you’ve
probably seen “CCTV Surveillance in Use” signs everywhere from your bank
to the even local coffee shop. But what does CCTV mean, and how does it
work?
What is It
Types of Closed Circuit Televiosion (CCTV) cameras
Dome CCTV Cameras
A dome CCTV cameras gets its name from
the dome-shaped casing that the sits in. while
these are relatively discreet CCTV cameras
in appearance, this doesn’t stop them from
discouraging criminals. This is because the
dome casing makes it really difficult for the
people to see which direction the camera is
pointing. This creates an air of uncertainty for
potential thieves or vandals approaching
from all directions.
Main benefits
o Unobtrusive design means it’s easy to fit
o Suitable for indoor and outdoor
o Vandal resistant dome means it is harder to interfere with the camera
o 360-degree rotation of the camera so you can cover all angle
Ideal uses
o This is the best type of CCTV camera for shops, restuarants, casinos and hotels
because the design allows you to monitor a wide angle at your premises.
o Also consider this option to be the best indoor CCTV camera as it can be placed
on a strategic point of the ceiling to cover all angles of the room.
Bullet CCTV cameras
Bullet CCTV cameras have iconic
design that is highly visible. They are
cylindrical in shape and are capable of
observing long distances. Bullet
cameras are most commonly placed
outdoors so their casings are made
resistant to water, dust and dirt.
Main benefits
o Highly visible so acts as a deterrent
o Resistant to dirt in challenging environments
o Provides surveillance over long distances
o Casing also protects against glare and rain
Ideal uses
o Bullet cameras can be used to good effect in a range of industries such as
manufacturing, property management and farming. They not only record
good quality pictures but also send out a message to passers-by that your
premises are under surveillance. That’s why they have traditionally offered
the best CCTV for outside operation.
C-Mount CCTV Cameras
C-Mount CCTV cameras are the ideal option
for those who may wish to adapt the field of
vision. They are equipped with detachable
lenses that can be switched around to monitor
varying distances. C-Mount cameras are
typically bulky so, like bullet cameras, act as a
visible deterrent to criminal activity.
Main benefits
o Special lenses can be fitted to the camera to extend its range beyond 40
feet
o Highly visible appearance that deters criminals
o Rugged camera casing can be added to protect the camera in cold
environment
o Weatherproof housing makes it ideal for outdoor use
Ideal uses
o This is the ideal camera for observing a stretch of road on the approach to
your premises. It is therefore popular in the utilities and logistics industries.
Those operating in the food and manufacturing industries may also elect for
this option, due to the camera’s reliability in extreme temperatures.
Pan Tilt & Zoom(PTZ) Cameras
With a PTZ (Pan Tilt & Zoom) camera, your
security team can have complete control on what is
recorded. At the touch of a button, the camera lens
can pan left and right, tilt up and down or zoom in
and out. It’s the ideal choice if you have a security
guard who is monitoring a live video feed on site.
Main benefits
o Optical zoom on these cameras means you can focus closely in on subjects
o Pan and tilt feature provides 360 degree field of vision
o Image resolution is usually impeccable so facial features can be distinguished
o Security team have full control of recording and can react to live situations
Ideal uses
o This is the best CCTV camera for remote viewing. It is really popular in large
retail environments and is regarded as the best CCTV for business premises
that have a specific valuable object to protect. For example, a museum could
program the camera to pan to a particular entry or exit point when it detects
movement. So even when it is not being controlled remotely, the camera can
cover a much larger area and do the same job of several static cameras.
Day/Night CCTV Cameras
These cameras have been built specifically to
operate effectively, regardless of how well lit
their environment is. During both daytime and
night- time, they will record clear video images
that will not be obscured by differing light
conditions. This is achieved through their extra
sensitive imaging chips.
Main benefits
o Clear recording in low light
o they usually record in both color and black and white
o can function despite glare, direct sunlight, reflections and poor lighting
o casing protects the cameras against the elements for outside surveillance
Ideal uses
o There are various CCTV camera types suited to outside use but the extra
sensitive imaging makes this one unique. It is therefore the ideal CCTV system
for business premises that require round the clock CCTV monitoring in an
outdoor environment with varying light conditions.
Infrared/Night Vision CCTV cameras
As the name suggests, these cameras are
designed to operate optimally in pitch
black conditions. They achieve this by
using infrared technology. Infrared models
are more expensive than day/night
cameras and those opting for this option
usually do so because night recording is
vital to the security of their business.
Main benefits
o Infrared LEDs allow clear recording even in pitch black environments
o An infrered cut filter activates in the daytime for clear images in lighter
conditions
o Can capture images even in the presence of fog, dust or smoke
o Records color imagery in the daytime and black and white at night
Ideal uses
o This is the best CCTV camera for night vision functionality. It’s therefore the
ideal choice for those who need ultra-reliable recording in complete darkness.
For example, banks, farms and manufacturing plants.
Network/IP CCTV Cameras
These cameras share live footage across the
internet so images can be easily accessed
from anywhere on the globe. The bandwidth
of the video is compressed, in order to make
the online feed reliable. Archive footage is
stored on network video recorders (NVRs) or
on secure software for later access.
Main benefits
o Footage can be viewed online from anywhere in the world
o Easily accessible archive footage
o Easy setup as coaxial cables and a computer station are not required
o Low maintenance
Ideal uses
o A network or IP CCTV camera is the ideal choice for business owners who are
often away from site and on the move. Footage can be viewed from anywhere
in the world, via a PC, laptop or mobile phone.
Wireless CCTV Cameras
Wireless CCTV cameras were
created to 8inimize installation time.
They also make the appearance of
the camera much tidier, which may be
an important factor for locations such
as churches, museums or stately
homes.
Main benefits
o Easier to install than your average CCTV system
o Discreet and tidy appearance and a less obtrusive fitting
o Images transmitted over internet so can be viewed anywhere
o Secure storage and easy access of the archive footage
Ideal uses
o If a spotless presentation is important in your industry, wireless CCTV cameras
are a great security option. Their discreet appearance helps them to blend into
the interior. What’s more, there is less set up and camera maintenance
required, and footage is transferred via the internet for convenient access.
High definition(HD) CCTV Cameras
HD CCTV cameras offer an unrivalled picture
quality that delivers high clarity images.
Depending on your budget, they can deliver
resolutions of 720p, all the way up to 4K.
Therefore, there’s no danger that the subject of
recordings will ever appear grainy or distorted.
Main benefits
o High definition pictures capture subjects in perfect clarity
o Extra clarity can also be achieved with zoom function
o Available on most CCTV models such as domes and bullet
o Crystal clear imagery provides undeniable criminal identification
Ideal uses
o High definition cameras are particularly useful for use in environments where
there is a high risk of theft. Businesses such as banks and casinos should opt
for HD cameras, in order to ensure that visitors to their premises are captured
in perfect clarity. The footage recorded will be able to provide undeniable
identification in the event of a crime being committed.
CCTV Installation and Wiring Options
CCTV Installation and Wiring Options
Today there are a lot of options when it comes to choosing a quality CCTV
security system. You may decide to go with a traditional analog system, HD-
SDI, HD-CVI or even an IP network based security products.
One thing all of these options have in common is you will probably have to run
some sort wire to the cameras. Yes, there are some “Wireless Security
Camera” solutions available on the market today, but if you do some research
you will find that there are a lot of limitations to wireless security cameras. Most
CCTV professionals would probably not recommend a wireless system in an
environment where up-time and security are critical.
I do want to mention that it is possible to reliably
transmit video wirelessly using a device such
as the TP-LocoM5 – Wireless Access
Point/Bridge as seen here at
www.securitycameraking.com.
But even then, you would still need to have a
power wire run to the camera or a local power
source near the camera and it only works with IP Cameras.
That being said, we will be talking about a fully-wired system in conjunction
with a storage device such as a DVR (Digital Video Recorder) or NVR (Network
Video Recorder).
New Installation.
When installing a completely new security system you may want to have
the video and power wires come from a single location located near the
storage device (DVR or NVR) as shown below.
ANALOG SYSTEMS
Analog, HD-SDI
and HD-CVI
cameras will
need two wires
run to them. One
for video
transmission and
a set of power
wires in order to power the camera. You
could run a coax wire and separate power
wires but most CCTV professionals choose
to use “Siamese Cable. Siamese Cable is a
manufactured coax cable with a set of
power wires attached to it. The power wires
can be split off from the coax in cases
where your power source may not be in a
close proximity to your recording device.
NETWORK IP SYSTEMS
IP(Internet Protocol) cameras use digital video transmission over CAT5
or CAT6 cable. In most cases you run your video and power to and from the
camera on the same CAT5 or CAT6 wire, assuming you are using a POE
(Power Over Ethernet) power source such as a POE injector or POE Switch.
Some NVRs come with built in POE, but in most cases it is
recommended to use an external POE switch like the POE-8MB1G from
SecurityCameraKing.com. When using an external POE switch all of your
CAT5 or CAT6 will run directly from each camera to a POE switch that is
connected to your local network. Then you simply connect your NVR to the
network and you are all set.
Most IP cameras also come with an additional power wire if you choose
not to use POE and power them with 12v or 24v power as shown below.
If you are going to power your IP camera with 12v /24v power you will
still run all of your CAT5 or CAT6 from the camera to a Non-POE switch
(usually significantly less expensive than a POE switch) but you will run an
extra set of power wires from a power source to each camera.
RUNNING YOUR CABLES
Now it’s time to run your cable. The following will cover 2 popular
scenarios.
Scenario 1: Running your cable through your attic and mounting your cameras
to the soffit. This is a common installation option, provided you have access to
your attic and your soffits are also accessible.
First you have to choose the placement of you recorder and power supply.
Some people simply have them located in an office or a room within their
home. Others prefer having them in a more secure location such as in a
lockbox, hidden in a closet, or even in the attic itself.
The image below shows the recorder and power supply inside a room
of the home. Power and video wires run up the wall into the attic to the location
where the camera will be located and out a small hole in the soffit were the
camera will be mounted.
Scenario 2: Another option is to run your cable through an exterior wall and then
use conduit on the exterior of your structure to run your cables from one
camera to another. This is a great option for those who do not have an attic or
limited access to one.
Mounting Your Cameras
Once you have run your wires to the desired location you can connect
your camera. In some cases where the cables are coming out of the soffit it is
possible to connect your wires together and tuck the connections up into the
hollow area of the soffit, then mount the camera directly to the soffit.
In situations where you’re running your wires through a solid concrete
or brick wall that the connections cannot be tucked into, it is common to mount
a junction box.
Junction Boxes and Conduit
Junction boxes are particularly useful when running your cable
through conduit on the exterior of your structure as they serve as a weather
proof container protect your power and video connections from the elements
and also provide you with a flat surface to mount your cameras to.
First you will pull your wires through the access hole on the back of
the junction box. Then mount the junction box to the wall. You may have to
drill a hole in the junction box cover big enough to feed your camera
connections through. Next, connect the camera to the power and video
connection(s). Then screw the cover on to the junction box. Now you can
mount you camera to the junction box. See the diagram below.
When used on a soffit, a junction box will sometimes be helpful in order to
lower and drop your cameras below obstructions such as deep fascia boards
as shown below.
