Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) systems are an extremely important aspect of an integral security solution, they have never been more popular or so easily obtained.

As a first line defence CCTV can provide a high profile visual difference. A professional system is very effective when used for continuous monitoring, providing full time surveillance with greatly reduced manpower costs and not only for security but often for health and safety purposes, production line control or hazardous process monitoring. Not forgetting the invaluable continuous video recording facility that may need to be reviewed at a later date to ascertain a sequence of events for evidential purposes.
Central station monitoring of a CCTV system via a telephone line is increasingly becoming the "norm" in an effort to reduce manned guarding costs and more recently to verify intruder alarm activation's to the Police. This off site assistance can often provide invaluable help with directing security staff or Police to the cause of the problem or more directly to warn intruders via a tannoy that they are being recorded and that the Police have been notified.
