Video cameras can protect you from risk. Closed circuit television is a great tool for crime prevention because they discourage your customers and employees from stealing and they can greatly reduce your exposure to litigation.

How Do Video Surveillance Systems Work?
A security camera uses a digital imager that is referred to as a CCD to capture images that are focused on it through the lens. The images captured by the camera are transmitted back to a monitor for live viewing and/or to a digital video recorder for archiving.
Sometimes just the site of surveillance camera is enough to deter criminal activity. A shoplifter would probably not steal in a store full of video cams; he would go to another store where he or she is less likely to be caught on a digital recorder.
In addition to the deterrent to all types of crime, video security systems can expand your eyes and ears by allowing you to view many multiple closed circuit video streams from a central location. Today’s modern interent cameras and netwrok digital video recorders provide you with the ability to monitor cameras located all over the world from a single location. IP network cams offer added versatility by broadcasting multiple streams of video over your LAN, WAN or the internet so you can view the CCTV video in Los Angeles and digitally record the video in New York.
Network mega-pixel IP cameras are revolutionizing the security industry by offering up to 20 megapixel video imagers. These new mega-pixel surveillance cameras can view and record very large areas with wide angle imagers and still allow you to zoom in within the recorded image for detailed surveillance of objects of interest. A single mega-pixel camera can cover and record the same area as 6 or more traditional CCTV cameras.
Pan Tilt Zoom or PTZ security cameras can cover large areas with their high resolution long range auto-focus lenses. Many PTZ cameras offer 22x optical zoom lenses with 12x digital zoom that effectively provide a 264x zoom. These high speed pan tilt zooms can read license plates from thousands of feet away. True day night PTZ dome systems operate in extremely low light conditions by switching from color to black & white and they offer additional features including 360 degree rotation at over 250 degrees per second, window and zone blanking and on screen displays.
