CCTV (Closed-Circuit Television) and security cameras, are terms that are commonly grouped together, however they do share their differences. CCTV is a comprehensive surveillance system that integrates cameras, recorders, and monitoring infrastructure into a unified network.
This system provides centralised control and monitoring capabilities. In contrast, security cameras operate as a standalone device, with its pure purpose to capture and record video footage in specific locations. While CCTV constitutes a broader surveillance infrastructure, security cameras serve as individual devices that are tailored for specific security needs, offering flexibility and targeted monitoring.
