CCTV has been making headlines recently due to its crucial role in capturing various incidents around the world. From aiding in the identification of suspects in criminal activities to providing evidence in accidents and disasters, CCTV footage has been instrumental in investigations and raising public awareness. For instance, CCTV footage helped in identifying attackers in assaults, monitoring thefts, and even capturing natural disasters in real-time.
Closed-circuit television (CCTV) is a system that uses video cameras to transmit signals to a specific set of monitors in a limited area. It is commonly used for surveillance and security purposes in public areas, businesses, and private properties. CCTV systems can be either analog or digital and are often equipped with recording capabilities for later review. The footage captured by CCTV cameras can be used by law enforcement agencies to investigate crimes, monitor traffic, and ensure public safety. Overall, CCTV plays a crucial role in enhancing security measures and providing valuable evidence in various situations.
