CCTV stands for Closed Circuit Television. This is the area that includes surveillance cameras and recording equipment.

Recently digital recording has been established as a major part of any CCTV system. There are many digital recording units available and prices vary greatly. The major difference between units is whether the stored image will be acceptable in court should the need arise. Many systems will record, but will not be acceptable to for use as evidence in court.

Customers must be aware that the cheapest price is probably not going to suit their needs. Basic, inexpensive components can fail to perform when they are needed the most.
