Categories Related to Surveillance Cameras
Surveillance cameras serve as electronic eyes, providing continuous monitoring in locations where constant human supervision is impractical. These cameras capture video footage for security and monitoring purposes, often utilizing digital storage to record events over time.
Surveillance cameras are essential across various settings, from retail stores and museums to power plants and control rooms in process factories. Their primary function is to enhance security, monitor operations, and ensure safety in both public and private spaces.
Modern surveillance systems comprise three main components: the camera itself, transmission wiring for signal relay, and a recording device for data storage. Transitioning from analog film to digital data storage has significantly improved efficiency, allowing for broader application and easier management of recorded footage.
