Closed-circuit television (
CCTV) is the use of
video cameras to transmit a signal to a specific place, on a limited set of monitors.
It differs from
broadcast television in that the signal is not openly transmitted, though it may employ point to point (P2P), point to multipoint, or mesh wireless links. Though almost all video cameras fit this definition, the term is most often applied to those used for
surveillance in areas that may need monitoring such as banks, casinos, airports, military installations, and convenience stores.
Videotelephony is seldom called "CCTV" but the use of video in
distance education, where it is an important tool, is often so called.
[1][2]In industrial plants, CCTV equipment may be used to observe parts of a process from a central control room, for example when the environment is not suitable for humans. CCTV systems may operate continuously or only as required to monitor a particular event. A more advanced form of CCTV, utilizing
Digital Video Recorders (DVRs), provides recording for possibly many years, with a variety of quality and performance options and extra features (such as motion-detection and email alerts). More recently, decentralized IP-based CCTV cameras, some equipped with megapixel sensors, support recording directly to
network-attached storage devices, or internal flash for completely stand-alone operation.
Surveillance of the public using CCTV is particularly common in the U.K., where there are reportedly more cameras per person than in any other country in the world.
[3] There and elsewhere, its increasing use has triggered a debate about security versus privacy.
