Analogue CCTV System

Analogue CCTV System

An analogue CCTV system is a closed-circuit television system that uses analogue signals to transmit video footage from cameras to a recording device. The cameras capture the video footage and transmit the signal to a video recorder, which stores the footage for later playback or analysis.

An analogue CCTV system typically consists of cameras, cables, a video recorder, and a monitor. The cameras capture the video footage and transmit it through the cables to the video recorder, where it is stored on a hard drive or other storage media. The monitor allows the user to view the video footage in real-time or playback previously recorded footage.

Analogue CCTV systems are commonly used for security purposes, such as monitoring buildings, parking lots, and other areas to prevent theft or unauthorized access. They are also used in retail stores to monitor customer activity and prevent shoplifting.

However, analogue CCTV systems have some limitations compared to newer digital CCTV systems. Analogue systems have lower resolution and image quality, and the footage can degrade over time. Analogue systems also require more physical cabling and wiring, which can be costly to install and maintain. Finally, analogue CCTV systems do not have the advanced features of digital systems, such as motion detection, facial recognition, and remote monitoring.
