Penggunaan Mobile CCTV di Jakarta berkembang dengan cepat terpasang di kendaraan industri dan aplikasi. Sistem ini membantu perlindungan kendaraan selama berada di jalan, ketika kendaraan saat berjalan pada jam sibuk atau ketika kendaraan berhenti saat diparkir. Teknologi ini awalnya untuk menyediakan keamanan dan keselamatan armada kendaraan, tetapi ternyata bisa membantu mengurangi secara dramatis biaya total operasional armada. Selanjutnya, saat kendaraan pribadi dan industri  berada di jalan dalam waktu yang lama dan memungkinkan terjadi kecelakaan . Banyak contoh dan penggunaan sehari-hari  yang membutuhkan mobile CCTV secara efektif.

Penggunaan mobile CCTV

- Armada Kendaraan

- Kendaraan pengangkutan

- Taksi аnd Kendaraan Sewa Swasta

- Mesin Pabrik

- Bus

- Kereta Api
Tergantung pada konfigurasi sistim mobile CCTV dan peletakan kamera dalam kendaraan pemantauan bisa dilakukan untuk jalan di depan kendaraan, di dalam kabin, barang yang dibawa, jalan belakang kendaraan.   Lokasi kamera bisa membantu petugas monitoring untuk memantau, melindungi kendaraan saat berjalan dan membantu mencegah pencurian alat аnd barang. Pilihan lain tersedia pada sistem ini termasuk transmisi video langsung, pelacakan GPS, geo-fencing dan banyak yang lainnya. Fitur ini menunjukkan bagaimana sistem CCTV serba guna bisa membantu meningkatkan keselamatan dan akhirnya mengurangi biaya armada.

Bagi manajer armada, mobile CCTV yang aktif  bisa digunakan mengetahui dimana posisi sopir dan memantau situasi sekitar kendaraan, apa yang sedang terjadi. Informasi penting lainnya bisa ditangkap saat terjadi kecelakaan seperti kecepatan kendaraan, lokasi kendaraan, penyebab kecelakaan kendaraan, waktu dan tanggal rekaman semua tersimpan dalam file rekaman. Ketika informasi dikirimkan online melalui 3G, ini memungkinkan manajer armada melakukan tindakan segera dan bisa juga membantu pencegah dari klaim palsu yang dibuat  berkaitan dengan kendaraan. Informasi ini bisa juga  digunaian untuk tujuan pelatihan dan pengembangan petugas armada, untuk memantau perilaku pengemudi dan untuk meningkatkan efisiensi bahan bakar armada.
Ada berbagai sistem mobile CCTV tersedia online. Namun, sangat penting menemukan sebuah sistem yang memadai sesuai persyaratan armada. Sistem bisa disesuaikan memenuhi persyaratan kendaraan anda, jenis kendaraan,  lokasi kamera yang anda inginkan  dan persyaratan sistim mobile CCTV sendiri.

It is a general tendency for people to buy CCTV cameras of the best quality and going for cheaper varieties of digital video recorders (DVR) to save the cost. More than stupidity this is failing the whole purpose of buying the CCTV system. Because while the camera records what is happening in the vicinity you need quality recorders to see what exactly your camera has captured. And if the recorders don't show that clearly your money is lost.

Today you'll find many varieties of DVRs in the market. However, while choosing the CCTV DVR there are quite a few factors that you need to take care of.

Purpose

CCTV cameras and DVRs are used by people for various reasons. While CCTV recorders are mainly to monitor the entrance of a house those in a shop or a bank are meant to monitor the employees as well as customers. Again, those installed in a police station is to check the body language of suspects and criminals. Systems differ according to your purpose. Hence, before purchasing the system you need to realise why you need it and how long you are planning to record.

Type

There are different types of CCTV DVRs in the market today. For example, the CCTV camera for a home differs from that for a shop. The one for a residential building might need to be worked only when the people are not at home whereas the camera and recorders in a shop might have to work all day to monitor the actions of people. There DVRs that are operated in different ways like motion detected, alarm triggered or timed recordings. Similarly the resolution of the camera can influence the recording, which depends upon the vicinity that the camera covers.

Cost

Cost of the DVRs depends, of course, on its type and quality. This in turn is based on what you need it for. To cover the entrance gate of your home you don't the high resolution cameras that would cost you a fortune. Whereas, if you are running a casino where customers of different types frequent, you need really good systems that work without break for hours together. In your hurry to get an inexpensive set CCTV DVR you shouldn't end up purchasing one of substandard quality.

When everything is said and done it's you who need the system. The purpose, type and cost depend on what your needs are. However, if you are not familiar with CCTV system it is always a good idea to consult an expert. You might know people who have already purchased it. Or, you could online and do some research CCTV cameras and DVRs before you actually swipe your credit card for a CCTV system.

Closed Circuit Television or CCTV is used the world over as a means of transmitting video signals from one specific area to a limited set of monitors. These cameras are typically used for monitoring various places such as train stations, offices, factories, convenience stores, highways, casinos, car parks, housing estates, museums, sports events, airports, city centres and various other public spaces. It is also often used for surveillance and making sure that a particular are is safe.

What Are They?

CCTV systems are mainly used for deterring crime as well as aiding in the proper identification of people who might be involved in it. It is also used to monitor people who might be under surveillance for certain offenses that requires them to be under constant watch by the police department. There are different kinds of CCTV models but wireless systems are the most common. These can be used on a continuous basis or for a specific period of time online. More sophisticated models also make use of digital video recorders but still photos are still the more popular option. Also, depending on the camera that you have chosen to use, the images can be saved on either DVD's or hard drives.

What Is It Capable Of?

Modern CCTV systems have compact and high definition cameras that are capable focusing on the smallest of details found on an image. As a matter of fact, there are systems that can identify a particular individual's age through studying their photos. There are also CCTV models that can identify just by scanning their biometrics. For public use, these cameras are usually used to monitor traffic flow. They send all the information that they capture to GPS systems. They are also used to spot traffic jams, accidents and other occurrences in highways. They are also used in train stations, amusement parks and airports where there is a need to monitor everything that is happening.

For Security Purposes:

How can CCTV systems be used for securing your business? Well, almost every building in the world has CCTV cameras. As a matter of fact, even your average store is likely to have one of these simply because they are very effective when it comes to making sure that business goes on as usual. Through it, business owners would be able to monitor everything that is happening inside their establishment. For offices, they are able to see who comes and goes through their doors. This is especially important when it comes to the larger buildings because it would be pretty hard to monitor everything that's happening in the different floors if there wasn't a central monitoring system to which these cameras are connected to.

There are many different security companies out there that specialize in putting together CCTV systems for every need, regardless of how big or small the place is. Of course, you would need to find a company that's going to be very reliable and trustworthy.

So there you have it, a brief overview of what a CCTV system is and how they might be able benefit your security efforts when it comes to protecting your business.

CCTV, or a closed system television system, is a great way to monitor your home or business. With almost endless uses, a CCTV system allow you to watch your family, employees, customers, and property. This is a practical investment that can protect those you love from harm and catch the perpetrators of any crimes that happen on your property.

In a closed circuit TV system, the system uses cameras that are linked together and feed information back to a central control. Today, there are multiple types of CCTV systems. Your first choice is between an analog and digital system. An analog system will record, through a television, onto a VHS tape. A digital video recorder will save the file in a format that can be read on computers. They can be stored on CDs, memory cards, or other digital media, and can be transmitted across a network, or online, so that they can be watched remotely. Today there are digital CCTV systems that can be set up so that you can watch your property remotely, even when you're away on vacation.

Analog security systems rely on older technology, though this technology is certainly still effective today. With an analog CCTV system, the footage is recorded on a VHS. With most systems, only one camera's view will be recorded at a time. As a result, some moments may be missed on the VHS tape. On the other hand, an analog system can be simpler to operate, and many analog systems are cheaper than digital ones. As a result, analog remains a popular option for small businesses and for home installation.

A well-planned CCTV system can provide the extra layer of security you've been looking for. Before buying any CCTV components, you'll need to consider how many cameras you'll need and how long you plan to store the footage. Take a survey of the area where you plan to add surveillance, making a note of places where you plan to install a camera. The number of cameras required will affect the CCTV recording system you buy; some can handle 1-4 channels, while others are designed for 8 or more. The length of time you plan to keep the recordings will affect the amount of digital memory you'll need within the CCTV recording system.

When selecting cameras for the system, consider exactly what you're hoping to record. For example, some high-end cameras will aid in facial recognition or license plate recognition, while others are designed for a general overview of the area. In general, a wide-angle lens provides greater coverage, though in less detail than a narrow-angle lens, which focuses on a smaller area. There are also CCTV cameras designed for particular purposes, from a hidden camera to a dome camera, like the cameras often seen on the ceiling of retail locations. In low-light situations, you may need a camera equipped with IR technology.

With the above information in mind, hopefully you have a better idea of how to choose a CCTV system for your needs. There are many systems that are designed for home users and small businesses, and are ready to operate almost right out of the box. If you're looking to quickly and easily set up cameras to record the activities in your home or business, a CCTV system is an excellent option.
