What is CCTV?
CCTV is an acronym for Closed Circuit Television. Video cameras are used to record all television signals, but video cameras on a closed circuit system only provide the signal to a limited, specific number of television monitors. In some scenarios, such as casinos and retail stores, personnel are always monitoring and analyzing the video feed. In other cases, such as small businesses, the video feed is recorded onto a cassette tape or digital video recorder (DVR) and archived. Unless a crime or suspicious activity occurs, the archived footage is written over to make room for a new feed.
CCTV has a variety of security purposes. While there has been opposition to "Big Brother’s watching eye," security cameras serve their purpose in society. Governments can use CCTV security cameras in highly congested areas to monitor traffic. Mass transit systems, such as subways, can make sure their loading docks are clear before taking off. GotCCTVSecurity.com is targeted to homes and businesses owners, so the debate over government spying won't be discussed ad nauseam.
Intimidation – The most obvious reason people and businesses implement CCTV security systems is for crime prevention. While this is not exactly measurable statistic, areas with a clearly visible security camera should deter the average criminal.
Monitoring – Businesses such as casinos consistently monitor their CCTV feed to catch cheaters in the act. Hot spots for cheating and stealing need consistent monitoring because the presence of a CCTV security system will not do much to deter the advanced criminal. Once they are caught in the act on tape, the video footage can be used catch them repeating the offence, or for prosecution in court.
On the less extreme side of monitoring, we have applications that happen around the home. Video baby monitors are becoming more and more popular. They offer more piece of mind than audio baby monitors. If you are a parent with children, you can always place a hidden or covert CCTV camera in a discrete area. For example, if you just hired a new babysitter that you never used before.
Crime Detection and Prosecution – Whether or not your CCTV security system is monitored live by security personnel, the most measurable benefit comes after the fact. CCTV is commonly used in detection and prosecution. For instance, if a crime without any suspects happened within a business, a hidden CCTV camera could be set-up to try to catch a repeat offense. Or if a crime occurred that was caught on camera, the footage could be used to help catch and/or convict the people involved. A kidnappings caught on tape can gain national news coverage.
Overall, if you are a person concerned about security, then a CCTV security system can provide the best bang for the buck depending on your needs. It would also make a great addition to an alarm system if you want to protect your home or merchandise.

- Communicate with a live ADT dispatcher directly

The intercom is 7 times more sensitive than a baby monitor is, and when alarmed, allows an ADT dispatcher to listen for any possible sounds.

This verification may lead to faster response times. After all, over half of deaths from injury, and 75% of disabling injuries, happen at home. (National Safety Council)

Reinforce doorframes and place multiple locks on all outside doors.
- Plant Rosebushes or Hedges
Plant rosebushes or hedges in front of any windows that may be easy to break into. - Install Smoke Alarms
