Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV)

Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) is a system of video cameras connected to a specific set of monitors or recording devices, used primarily for surveillance and security. Unlike broadcast TV, CCTV signals are restricted to a defined area, allowing private monitoring of locations such as stores, streets, or homes. The cameras capture real-time footage that can be viewed live or recorded for later review. CCTV enhances safety by deterring crime, assisting in investigations, and monitoring activities in sensitive or high-traffic areas. It is a vital tool for security management in various environments.
