Closed Circuit Television or CCTV is an increasingly growing market and if you've tried
to do any shopping for CCTV cameras and recorders you know that there are so many
offerings out there and such a wide variety of prices that the more you look, the more
confusing it becomes. I won't attempt to tell you everything there is to know about
CCTV, there are other web sites that will attempt to do that. I will give you some of the
basics and tell you what to look for, and this make take a while so go get you a cup of
coffee and then come back and finish reading this.
There are multiple components that make up a CCTV system and any one of them can
make a significant difference in the quality of the video that you will be watching. As a
rule, you get what you pay for. A good place to start is to decide how much money
you're willing to spend and then we can start matching components to fit your budget.
It would be money wasted to buy a top of the line camera and then use lesser grade
components for the rest of the system. Below you will find a short explanation of each
of the components that make up a CCTV system.
