CCTV (Closed Circuit Television) is designed for activities inside and outside the protected premises. CCTV systems typically involve a fixed (or "dedicated") communications link between cameras and monitors. Discreet cameras installed throughout your home can allow you to monitor any suspicious activity while you are at home or away. CCTV systems have long been a basic part of commercial and industrial security systems. Now, as CCTV systems become more affordable and easy to use, they are becoming common in residential applications. According to a study by an international research firm, an estimated 640,000 homeowners plan to install CCTV to help protect their homes over the next 12 months. Take it from the pros - professional crooks that is. In a study burglars rated CCTV as one of the most effective deterrents. And they practice what they preach. Burglars are 8 times more likely to have CCTV cameras in their homes than the average population.
