CCTV Security

CCTV security stands for closed-circuit television security. More specifically, it describes the use of security cameras to transmit signals to a specific location. It is not openly transmitted, like broadcast television. Rather, it involves limited monitoring.

The first CCTV security system was set up in 1942. It was actually not set up to monitor criminal activity. Instead, it was utilized in Peenemunde, Germany to monitor the launch of V2 rockets.

CCTV security monitoring can serve a couple different functions. Individuals who see such a system set up are less likely to commit crimes. The systems can also operate after events as evidence for prosecution. In addition to this, having a security issue on record can aid a home or business owner in better defending his or her property in the future.
