☑️ What is a CCTV camera
Basically, it is called a closed-circuit camera device that is in a fixed place and sends information such as images and videos through a closed and completely secure circuit to the device or devices connected to the camera.
The interesting thing is that these images do not need to be connected to the image recording device with just one wire. Nowadays, it is possible to receive information from cameras without wires.
Also, CCTV cameras are not necessarily connected to only one device. But you can send to multiple devices and even anywhere you want to see yourself.
What are CCTV applications?
Basically, closed circuit cameras are used in most places. Nowadays, you see CCTV cameras in most big and small stores.
But the most places where you can 100% see CCTV: Banks - Administrative and commercial institutions - Hospitals - Protective places like prisons - Security places like airports and military buildings and camps - Gold shops - Hypermarkets - Arcades - Office and residential complexes - Restaurants - public roads and generally places where there is a lot of traffic or valuable goods.
Of course, CCTV cameras have another category, which are also called wearable cameras. It is mostly used for security purposes. or for use in clips and movies and even in hidden cameras that we see on TV and social networks.
☑️ Why are they called that CCTV?
Certainly, the information, images and videos that are recorded in CCTV cameras and sent to the recording device are not something that can be shared and seen by the public.
The type of work of security and surveillance systems lies in its secrecy. For this reason, the nickname of cameras with closed circuit (closed circuit) is suitable for this name.
In a way that information is sent by a closed circuit only to a place that is defined. And no one or any device can know its information.
It is not like installing a CCTV camera and anyone can easily connect to it with their TV or mobile phone and see the recorded images and videos.
Whereas if this happened, anyone could save or delete the information.
This device is completely opposite to television. You can easily watch any network or channel with any TV set that is connected to the power outlet.
☑️ The most important applications of CCTV camera
1- Preventing security offenses
One of the most important things that has even caused the idea of closed-circuit cameras to spread and the security forces of every country to use them is to prevent crimes.
This device has caused many crimes to be drastically reduced in countries where high crime rates were committed.
Such as: public roads - houses and apartments - banks - gold shops - parking lots - airports and large food stores and especially streets and highways.
2- Intercity and intra-city transportation
Today, the use of closed circuit cameras on freeways and streets inside and outside the city is one of the requirements.
Due to the increase and growth of the population and the increase in the number of vehicles, the possibility of road accidents and any intentional or unintentional accidents from drivers using CCTV cameras has increased.
3- Sports and stadiums
One of the places where many people are present today is stadiums and sports halls. Most of them use CCTV cameras.
If you see a stadium or a hall that does not have CCTV, surely the manager there does not know what CCTV is?!
I suggest that you take care of yourself and your belongings in these places.
4- Use in special factories and laboratory locations
In a factory or a special laboratory, advanced CCTV cameras may be used instead of humans.
The use of special cameras such as thermographic surveillance cameras is an example of this type of cameras.
5. Use in educational spaces
Today, even in educational spaces such as schools and universities, the use of closed-circuit cameras has become legal.
In some countries, due to the type of culture of that country, CCTV cameras may be needed in educational places.
