About CCTV Cameras
When you monitor your home or office with closed circuit television (CCTV) surveillance, it's like you have an entire television network devoted to the safety of your home. CCTV broadcasts your security surveillance on a private in-home network.

Unlike broadcast television, CCTV components are hooked directly to each other via cables or direct wireless means. Already popular in large public places where security is heightened, such as at airports or casinos, CCTV surveillance systems are becoming more and more widely used in private home settings as well.

CCTV is inexpensive and simple to use, and it will help increase your security and your peace of mind.

Many independent studies in the United States and United Kingdom have suggested that CCTV surveillance acts as a powerful deterrent, stopping crimes before they happen. Studies also show strong evidence that CCTV can be an extremely effective tool in detection and prosecution. The men believed to have been responsible for the July terrorist attacks on London's public transport system were later identified on the prevalent CCTV networks in the U.K.'s public places.

The same CCTV video surveillance technology used in our public venues is available for your home. You can monitor every room in your home with clear, high visibility images. There are CCTV surveillance systems that can monitor up to 4, 9, or 16 rooms in your home.

By monitoring your family's security on a CCTV network, you are able to record suspicious activities as they occur. Monitor your yard, front door, garage, even your mailbox.

Your HOA Security Equipment page recommends CCTVs that offer the following features that allow you to monitor multiple areas of your home simultaneously and in real-time:

1. Multiple channel video input
2. Multiple channel audio input
3. Real time display
4. Pan/tilt/zoom
5. USB backup

CCTV video surveillance is subject to the laws regarding a person’s right to privacy. CCTV security is a powerful addition to your home security system. Your home is your castle, and you have the right to protect it.

However, you want to remain on the right side of the law. Therefore, when installing a CCTV system in your home, it is important that you are certain of the legality of your surveillance. Consult with a lawyer or your local law enforcement to ensure that you are meeting all the requirements of local, state, and federal CCTV laws.

The benefits of installing CCTV technology in your home include:

1. Easy video surveillance
2. Home security that fits any sized home
3. Preventive security as well as useful surveillance security
