What is CCTV and how does it work?
CCTV & HOME SECURITY
CCTV, or closed-circuit television, is a system that allows you to keep an eye on
what's going on in and around your business. Cameras and monitors enable you to
view events live, and recorders archive footage for later reference. Don't mistake a CCTV monitor for an ordinary television.
CCTV is generally used for monitoring continually or to monitor one particular happening. CCTV has been proven to be effective either for constant monitoring or for monitoring only a particular event. Security has been the main purpose of CCTV Installation although it can do more than ensuring security.

HOME SECURITY
Home security is both the security hardware in place on a property as well as personal security
practices. Security hardware includes doors, locks, alarm systems, lighting, motion detectors,
security camera systems, etc. that are installed on a property; personal security involves
practices such as ensuring doors are locked, alarms activated, windows closed, extra keys not
hidden outside, etc.
According to an FBI report, 58.3 percent of burglaries in the United States involved forcible
entry. Per the most recent statistics, the average burglary in the United States lasts for about 90
seconds to 12 minutes and, on average, a burglar will break into a home within 60 seconds. Most thefts target cash first followed by jewels, drugs, and electronics. The common security methods include never hiding extra keys outside, never turning off all the lights, applying small CCTV stickers on doors, and keeping good tabs with neighbors.
