subject: The Importance Of Cctvs & Home Security Cameras [print this page] CCTV (closed-circuit television) cameras play a major role in providing security and order. They can reduce property theft by preventing evildoers when they see a CCTV. Their use has helped reduced the crimes like car theft. CCTV cameras have also helped decrease shoplifting and vandalism. Even crimes involving burglary and arson are deterred by CCTV cameras
CCTV cameras can also help prevent personal crimes
CCTV cameras can prevent a personal crime because of the concept of rational theory. This theory states that a suspect decides whether to commit a crime. A criminal is less likely to perform a personal crime like an assault on a victim when there is a CCTV camera nearby. Because the CCTV camera can pick up details of the suspect, a suspect avoids committing a crime within view of the camera. Hence, the presence of CCTV cameras can prevent many types of crimes.
CCTV cameras can also help prevent crimes in the surrounding areas
A crime may be moved in another area without a CCTV camera, but it has been shown that a CCTV camera can help prevent the crime overall and encourage areas and places without CCTVs to start using them.
A CCTV can show whether weather conditions make it unsafe to drive. Data is transmitted and reported to the proper place to prevent problems. CCTV cameras are also used to capture traffic incidents in advance, especially if an accident has occurred. They can help locate the accident and get help there.
Home security systems help prevent a home from being robbed. They also record everything in the home and its premises. They can ward off robbers, since their recordings can be sent to local security receiving stations and people who monitor them and can respond immediately. They can also discourage robbers from continuing the crime because their recordings can be used as evidence of crime in court.
They also come in wired or wireless models. The wireless home security systems can be set up without cords and wires. They can be placed in full view or can stay hidden.
