CCTV Security Systems To Ensure Public Safety
Most of us have heard of CCTV security systems at some point, however there are those who are not quite certain as to the benefits, or for that matter, what CCTV actually stands for. CCTV means "closed circuit television" which, as the name implies, is a camera that has been hooked up to a TV screen on a closed circuit type system. Today the most commonly used CCTV camera is in black and white and for several reasons. The first is cost, as they are much cheaper to produce. Secondly, maintenance costs are much lower than the colour versions, and finally the black and white system transmits a much sharper and clearer image.
The very first systems were installed way back in the early 1940's in New York. They are now used worldwide for monitoring; in fact just about every major retail business is utilizing this technology. Other institutions using CCTV will of course include just about every bank in the world, for obvious reasons. They are mainly used to deter crime and also employee theft. However, in many cases they also record crimes in progress. CCTV technology has put many a crook behind bars as this type of evidence is hard to refute.
Some companies that are quite large use these systems to observe what is going on inside their organization and for monitoring staff members. Many also install the cameras outside the premises as additional security. But it is not just businesses that have CCTV installed. They are also used by homeowners as protection, as well as city governments and in some instances, by law enforcement. Many sting operations have been carried out via this technology, as many types of these cameras have become very tiny and easy to hide.
There are also models that will work regardless of whether it is day or night, and with today's technology many are operated as wireless devices. Because of the fact that you can get miniature versions, they are commonly used to survey and monitor care workers or babysitters who look after children or the elderly. Some daycare centers utilize CCTV and give parents the ability to access the rooms via the internet.
Another really big advantage over other types of security systems is the fact that CCTV is live coverage, yet at the same time it can be recording everything, depending on the type that is used. In the UK for example, this technology and its usage has greatly proliferated over the past ten years. In fact governments in UK have the distinction of being one of the biggest users of CCTV surveillance in the world. Studies have clearly shown that they are a deterrent to criminal activity.
We have all seen the live shows of high speed chases involving law enforcement on television from the point of view of the officer involved. This is a perfect example of CCTV at work, steadfastly recording in real time. Another prime example would be a casino, the cameras are commonly referred to as the "eye in the sky". And for good reason, as these units can focus in and observe even the slightest movements that could be deemed as suspicious. Many a casino cheat has been busted thinking that they were going to outsmart the cameras that stealthily are beaming down on them and taping everything.
As for home usage, you can purchase units that are very reasonably priced and many come with outstanding features. Depending on what type of setup you want, there are systems that can monitor one room or an entire household. Some higher end models give you the ability to view in very low light, different zooms and audio. If desired you can also get CCTV setup as a network of IP cameras, broadcasting over the internet in varying resolutions dependent on the model and price range.
This technology is here to stay, and with crime rates the way they are we will see more of these installed in public. Many taxis, buses, civic centers, public and private parking lots, airports, hospitals and many others are taking advantage of the protection these CCTV cameras offer. It should also be noted that CCTV is used more frequently to monitor school property so as to discourage unruly or violent behavior. Because of this technology, students are less likely to commit acts that are deemed against the rules for fear of being recorded.
High spec CCTV images are sharp and this type of advanced security is there to give governments, businesses, homeowners and even private citizens the benefits of full camera coverage 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in the fight against crime, to protect properties and ensure public safety. From the smallest inexpensive to the most sophisticated, CCTV security system is available to suit every needs.

Do you object to being filmed on CCTV all day?
People in the UK are caught (on average), on 300 cameras a day, some even have speakers installed in them so they can tell us to pick up our litter or behave. Is this a huge invasion of privacy and basic human rights to annonimity, a symptom of a big-brother society, or does it make you feel safer?
Being a citizen and a supplier of such cameras, I can see both sides of the story!
The Citizen
---------------
Cameras do not make me feel safer, but I am aware that cameras are around and therefore knowingly make sure I dont do anything wrong. I also know that if something bad was happening to me, I wish a camera to be there to capture the moment for evidence, even those watching the camera can send help as I have seen happen to somebody else.
Cameras do help to reduce crime with the opportunist, but there are some people where it doesnt matter if a camera is there, even if a policeman is there it does not discourage criminals who are not on this planet. (maybe on drugs or plain dangerous)
I dont really like to idea of being on camera or being told to pick up litter, or losing my privacy. Are my human rights being abused? NO!, I dont think so in general. If the use of those camera images are controlled and used only where crime has taken palce, then I cannot object. Its the control & usage we need to worry about. Some cameras can be used to learn about traffic & other environmental problems creating the opportunity to recognise and act!. e.g spotting traffic hot spots....
The Surveillance
----------------------
From this end I can only see benefits such as detecting and detering crime, learning about our environment, responding to emergencies, tracking terrorists and much much more...
Again, its the control and purposeful use of images collected from these cameras that count.
Why do we have so many cameras? Blame all the people who commit crime, blame the people who cant keep thier land clean. Its the fact that without control, things like crime, bad behaviour and terrorism will get out of control.
Conclusion
---------------
I dont like being filmed all day but with the current rate of crime & terrorism, I think its needed. If we were a nation of passive and non violent people, then I would certainly have a problem with all these surveillance cameras.
By the way, please dont be misled by the figures doing its rounds in the press related to being caught on cameras. You are likely to be caught on up to 300 cameras in a day if you travel across London. This does not apply to the rest of the UK.
