CCTV - closed circuit television - describes the use of cameras to send a video signal to a certain location for monitoring by a limited (closed) number of people. CCTV systems have been used for security purposes in commercial, industrial, and institutional installations for decades, but with the advances in digital transmission and recording technology the capabilities have increased while the costs have come down.

As the technology has become more readily available, additional uses have also been developed, and CCTV systems seem to be everywhere these days. CCTV surveillance is now prevalent in most aspects of daily life; from monitoring traffic, to watching over public places like malls and sports stadiums, to keeping an eye on your babysitter. Just about everyone is picked up by a closed circuit television system at some point during their typical day.

A closed circuit television system can be found to monitor dozens of cameras, or just one camera; and with a DVR (digital video recorder) a single station may be all that is necessary to record several days worth of video from multiple cameras. Hard drive technology is in part to thank for the growth of CCTV usage. With multi-Terabyte drives on the market now, it is rather inexpensive to outfit a DVR with enough to storage space to capture plenty of high resolution, high speed (up to 120fps) video that can also be accompanied by an audio signal, too.

CCTV Imports is an online outlet for CCTV surveillance systems that has been in business for over 15 years. In addition to having over 400 different security cameras and surveillance products in stock to choose from, they offer a 110% price match guarantee and free technical support for any item you purchase from them, which is good for as long as you happen to own the product. They tout themselves as a "one stop security source", which does seem like a fitting description based on all that they have to offer.
