Police Investigators
For CCTV systems to be effective in detecting and investigating crime they must be fit for purpose and easily accessible by police investigators. For digital CCTV there are 4 main areas that must be considered:
- Quality CCTV Cameras – are the pictures good enough? (with all our Cameras: YES)
- CCTV Recorder – are the pictures stored appropriately? (with all our Recorders: YES)
- Exporting data – can the pictures be easily exported from the system? (with all our Recorders: YES)
- Playback – can the pictures be easily viewed by authorised third parties? (with all our Recorders: YES)
Cameras Work!
Statistics point to major reductions in the amount of crime being committed where there are cameras are installed. An article in ‘New Scientist’ magazine showed that simply installing a system can reduce crime, in the areas covered, by over 95%. As our customers inform us that they are having similar results in all types of business, you will begin to appreciate why CCTV is seen by many as the best system for deterrent and detection. Choosing the equipment can be the biggest part of the process, however to make it easy, the main components you need are the cameras, a Digital Video Recorder and in some cases, a Monitor. The camera is the most visible element of the CCTV equipment, and the thing that is likely to deter any intruders. Cameras can be placed inside or outside the home, and for Internal Cameras you can also get Covert CCTV Cameras which can be disguised as an Alarm PIR or hidden in other objects such Smoke Detectors. External cameras are tested to be waterproof and vandal proof to ensure that they cannot be damaged. Numerous cameras can be placed around the property, but the most popular spots to guard of the external of the property would be any doorways, easy access points and any dark corners. You may also chose a PTZ camera that allows pan tilt and zoom options which allows you to move the camera using a Joystick Controller and to zoom in on any subjects.
