Do you know what CCTV stands for? CCTV means closed-circuit television or commonly known as video surveillance or surveillance camera.

Often when we hear about CCTV, we think about big buildings, workplaces, malls, and other huge commercial areas requiring security systems. However, CCTV at home is becoming popular and very beneficial. These cameras at home can help safeguard your family and loved ones while also enabling you to keep an eye on what is occurring in your home while you are away.

Here are the most common reasons why you must install CCTV at home.

1. Remote monitoring. You can monitor your home anytime, anywhere. Installing a CCTV house will enable you to do whatever you want, whether to watch over the perimeter of your property or keep an eye on your children or pets while you are away. If you hear strange noises, you can always view the camera footage on your device whenever you want.

2. Everything that occurs in and around your home can be recorded. The CCTV camera footage can be important in helping to comprehend what happened and identify trespassers or criminals on the property in the event of an unfortunate occurrence or break-in at your home or nearby. Additionally, this video can be used as trustworthy evidence in court to convict perpetrators.

3. Discourage robbers and burglars. Since criminals and robbers know they will be caught on camera, CCTV cameras can be a powerful deterrent. This will reinforce the protection of your family and important belongings and make your home significantly less vulnerable to break-ins than homes without a CCTV system. It would only be necessary to properly organize their installation, covering all the main entry and departure points and some less obvious spots on your property.

4. Long-term investment in safety. Installations of CCTV cameras can be viewed as a one-time yet long-term investment in safety. They merely need the odd wipe and clean. They require very little care.
