Repair CCTV Systems

Closed circuit television systems are a great form of security system. Having cameras that can identify a culprit is a major deterrent for many criminals. It also helps law enforcement agents to have a visual of what happened after an incident and facial recognitions to use in their investigations as well.

The cameras give a live feed to a television monitor, or monitors. The security team can look at the pictures coming in from the various cameras and identify any problems from any part of the building when it happens. At the same time, these pictures are being recorded. Older CCTV systems record information on tapes, however the newer ones make recording on DVDs. If an old recording is required, a DVD of the date and time in question can be retrieved and watched. It is usually during police investigations that this may be required. Thus, CCTV systems have helped in many criminal investigations.  

Shops, offices and airports are just some examples of institutions that need to have cameras installed for security reasons. It is very rare for homes to have cameras installed as it is usually not necessary. It is public places where a lot of people come and go that require cameras. Home owners usually know the people that came into their home, unlike a shop owner who does not know or even remember everyone who comes into their shop.  

When there is a problem with the CCTV system, it is usually a good idea to get an expert to come in and take a look at what the problem is. It may be that the cameras are nor sending a signal to the monitors or that the recording is not occurring. Simple things such as the camera being dirty or being out of focus can be easily fixed by cleaning it or putting it into focus.  
However, for more complex problems, it is important that you get a professional, preferably the original installers. This is because they have a better understanding of the system and how it was installed as well being cheaper than getting someone else.
