Introduction
- Closed-circuit television (CCTV), also known as video surveillance.
- It is the use of video cameras to transmit a signal to a specific place, on a limited set of monitors.
- It differs from broadcast television in that the signal is not openly transmitted, though it may employ point-to-point (P2P), point to-multipoint (P2MP), or mesh wired or wireless links.
- Though almost all video cameras fit this definition, the term is most often applied to those used for surveillance in areas that may need monitoring such as banks, stores, and other areas where security is needed.
- Though video telephony is seldom called ‘CCTV’ one exception is the use of video in distance education, where it is an important tool.
