What is CCTV?

CCTV is an abbreviation of Closed Circuit Television. Broadcast television, which we receive on our home television sets, is openly available and can be received by anyone whose TV set is properly tuned to the transmission signal of a particular TV station.

CCTV on the other hand, is a closed circuit system, which means that it is only tuned into, and transmits to, the equipment linked together in that specific system. This way the video images created by the CCTV setup are closed to any other receiving device (eg other monitors) and can only be viewed by the owner/operator of the CCTV system.

What is a CCTV monitor?

A cctv monitor is needed to reproduce the images recorded by cctv cameras. It is similar to a normal television set in the way it can display quality images on a screen, but is different, inasmuch as it contains no electronics for tuning into broadcast stations. It only displays the images being monitored by the CCTV cameras in the system. CCTV monitors tend to give a higher quality picture than Television screens.
