Closed Circuit Television or CCTV as it is better known, provides surveillance video of locations that can be remotely viewed. In recent years CCTV has become a popular security measure for businesses and property owners. They have also been used as a crime prevention measure in public places with CCTV cameras being situated around well known trouble areas. Since the addition of CCTV cameras many businesses and residents of the affected areas have agreed that these preventative measures have helped to reduce the amount of crime activity and whilst they can’t solely stamp out criminal behavior, they are effective enough to deter many potential criminal activities. Below is a simple step by step guide on how to set up a CCTV camera effectively for maximum benefit.
1. Location. Whether it is being used on private property or in public places it is important to situate the camera to give it maximum opportunity to survey the majority of the area. Surveillance cameras have the ability to rotate within a certain area, allowing operatives to survey in more than one direction. Remember this function when setting up the camera.
2.Have the local authorities contact detail readily available. If you find yourself in a situation where you are filming criminal activity it is important to be able to prevent its continuation. By having the local police department number at hand it will enable them to notified in time to get to the scene.
3. Test the cameras regularly. Like anything, CCTV cameras can stop working so it is important to keep them maintained and test their functionality at regular intervals. After all, a camera that doesn’t work is no use at all.
4. Back up all recordings. Crime can happen at any time and sometimes the operative may not see it take place. Back up the video recordings on a daily basis as these can be reviewed for evidence or to identify the potential crime.

How do CCTV cameras collect data?
Analog Camera1. Analog CCTV systems use one of two main conduits to transmit audio-visual information. The first, and most common, is a wired configuration. The second uses a wireless transmitter to connect to a receiver.Wired CCTV installations run a cable or wire between the camera and the monitor. The image data is usually transmitted over a coaxial cable. The audio is usually transmitted over a simple copper wire or wires. The signal transmitted over these wires and cables is then fed in to a monitor or a set of monitors if the image needs to be visible in different locations. A multiplexer can be used to display feeds from multiple cameras on a single monitor. Each camera's picture would take up a pre-set amount of space on the monitor. Analog CCTV cameras can also be routed to an image capture board on a computer to allow the audio-visual information to be viewed on a computer monitor.Wireless CCTV installations are similar to wired. The difference is that a radio transmitter is attached to the camera. A radio receiver is then attached to the input on the monitor system or computer. Wireless systems are useful in a couple of situations. The first is when the distance between the camera and the monitor is too far to be practical for a cable run. Wireless CCTV is also good when cables aren't practical because of aesthetic reasons.Digital CCTV2. CCTV installations can also be digital. Digital CCTV often uses Internet Protocol (IP) cameras. An IP camera is a camera that contains the camera and hardware to convert the audio and video signals to a stream of packets that can then be transmitted over a local area network (LAN) wide area network, (WAN) or even over the internet.Digital CCTV has many advantages over analog. First, it can use existing wired or wireless internet, including Wi-Fi. Because of this, it isn't limited by distance. A CCTV camera can be set up in one city and have its signal transmitted easily to another city. Another advantage of digital CCTV is that a series of cameras can be routed to a wireless hub, thus minimizing the amount of cabling required for a complex installation.

CCTV DVR System: Dummy Cameras?
A video surveillance system can be expensive, considering all of the necessary hardware and devices. The cost of the cameras, DVR, data cables, and monitor can add up quickly. An excellent way to compliment an existing CCTV DVR system is to use dummy security cameras. These are replica devices which look identical to real CCTV cameras. All a homeowner needs to do is mount a dummy security camera just like a regular security camera. These dummy cameras are powered by regular alkaline batteries, which simulate realistic effects such as flashing LED lights and can even move the camera. Best of all, a dummy camera costs dozens of times less than a standard CCTV camera.
