CCTV

With the cost of CCTV systems reducing quite dramatically over recent years, a camera system for the home and small business has now become a viable security add-on for the majority of people.

Current estimates suggest that as many as 5% of households now employ some form of CCTV, be it a simple single camera that views callers at the entrance door or a full-blown system which can monitor and record anything that takes place within the curtilage of the dwelling. Business ownership of CCTV is, of course, considerably higher.

Domestic uses include
