Closed Circuit Television (Cctv)

CCTV (closed-circuit television) is a TV system in which signals are not publicly distributed but are monitored, primarily for surveillance and security purposes. Security and surveillance system is then essential in modern organizations like banks due to the precarious security situation in the country. Most crimes perpetuated in most organizations are mainly due to lack of proper security and surveillance system within these areas, this has further aggravated the rising spate of crime and security challenges in most organizations, which led to the development of CCTV based surveillance and monitoring system that will proffer solutions to augment human resources and efforts. Wired surveillance security system has some short coming such as

The prevention of personal and property crime is among the primary objectives in public space. As an intervention targeted at crime, CCTV is a type of situational crime prevention (Clarke, 1997). According to Clarke (1997) classification of situational crime prevention, CCTV is viewed as a technique of “formal surveillance.” In this regard, CCTV cameras are seen to enhance or take the place of security personnel. It is argued that CCTV (especially if well publicized) may prevent crime because potential offenders are deterred by their increased subjective probability of detection. Also, CCTV may increase the true probability of detection, may increase pedestrian usage of places and hence further increase the subjective probability, may encourage potential victims to take security precautions, and may direct police and security personnel to intervene to prevent crime (Arnitage et al., 1999). Another possibility is that CCTV could signal improvements in the area and hence increase community pride, community cohesion, and informal social

The proposed IP based CCTV camera will be easy to install and they also avoid the expensive and time consuming task of installing new wires on location.

2. The proposed system enables mobility and portability where the installed components can be taken along when moving to a new location.

3. The proposed system is designed such as to transmit a unique identification code to a controller where the controller learns the identity of each sensor and links it to an appropriate zone. Each sensor at times also transmits status information such as battery voltage, condition of the sensor switch, and other diagnostic messages.

4. The installed wireless security systems can be set up to record a voice message and to call programmed numbers in the event of an alarm. This saves the cost of a professional monitoring service.

5. The proposed system, which consists of motion detectors and video cameras, can often be installed in locations that are not accessible for wired equipment.
