CCTV Myths And Misconceptions

Shuretech • Sep 21, 2022

Though you may be aware that most businesses implement security measures within their premises, you’re unlikely to know everything about the importance of a comprehensive CCTV set-up, and some myths and misconceptions may have even slipped through the net. As a leading commercial security provider based in Bracknell, Shuretech are here to guide you through a quick guide to CCTV systems, and clarify some common misbeliefs. From pricing to the difference between particular systems and set-ups, continue reading for all you need to know.


CCTV Explained

CCTV is an abbreviation of ‘Closed-Circuit Television’ and usually refers to video surveillance. Broadcasts are usually transmitted to a dedicated monitor, though multiple monitors and even dedicated phone apps can be used to track linked cameras. Frequently paired with other security measures such as security shutters, gates or vehicle barriers, matching CCTV with other devices and preventative systems will deter even the pluckiest criminals.


The Systems Are Too Complicated To Understand

A system may seem complex at first, but at the very core the idea is simple. By setting up the camera or multiple devices, you will immediately be deterring potential criminals, as well as giving yourself peace of mind that the perpetrator will be captured on film should criminal damage or a break-in ever occur. Confused by how your system works? Our staff would be happy to explain and demonstrate.


The Cameras Are Expensive And Costs Too Much

The idea of purchasing a CCTV set-up may be daunting, due to the perception of such systems being unnecessarily costly. Despite this common perception, CCTV cameras need not be expensive. Installed by a trustworthy team and easily maintained, Shuretech provide a cheap service regardless of your requirements. Ranging from basic camera and monitor options, to access control verification, discover the benefits by viewing our site section


All Security Cameras Are The Same

Security cameras are unsurprisingly an important measure for larger companies with spacious premises, however, CCTV systems are scalable to whatever you require, from a simplistic assortment of small cameras, to multiple devices which are capable of night-vision viewing, streaming to smartphones and tablets, or even complex video systems which cover every inch of your office exterior.
