CCTV Video Surveillance Systems
History of CCTV Video Surveillance Systems
CCTV Video Surveillance Systems – The world’s first CCTV video surveillance system was installed by Siemens AG at Test Stand VII in Peenemünde, Nazi Germany in 1942.
Video Surveillance CCTV Security Camera Systems have had a fascinating timeline, growing as quickly as all of the technologies in many other areas. The earliest video system, Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) is first used in Germany. German scientists developed the technology to monitor the launch of V2 rockets. Later, this kind of video surveillance was used in the United States during the testing of Atomic Bombs. But later this technology began to use in surveillance in the 1970s.
CCTV systems were built from cameras, multiplexers, time-lapse video camera recorders (VCRs), and monitors. They were Video Tape Recorder (VTR) and required a lot of coaxial cables. These analog systems were based on the original TV standards from the mid-1900s that are becoming obsolete in the new century due to HD (High Definition) TV.
Due to the problems experienced with the VCR, people began installing digital video recorders (DVRs). Digital makes video surveillance faster, clearer, and more efficient. In a DVR, a digital storage media such as a computer hard drive has compression capability and low cost. The most recent recording overwrites the oldest, allowing uninterrupted and continuous recording.
From 1997 on, police departments across the country installed more and more video surveillance cameras in public buildings and housing projects.
In 2003 there were new DVRs that could support multi-camera inputs and provide more functionality such as alarm handling, scheduled activation of cameras, control of pan/tilt/zoom cameras, activity detection, and remote access.
During these years computer software for network video surveillance management has also become more widely offered in the industry.
All the improvements in technological innovation through the years have actually led to IP cameras. IP cameras are actually the most powerful form of surveillance and security camera device around. An IP surveillance camera is to be instituted virtually anywhere and be watched from anywhere in the world. IP video surveillance systems use NVR (network video recorder) to record video in a digital format to a disk drive, USB flash drive, SD memory card, or other mass storage device. Video on a DVR is encoded and processed at the DVR, while video on an NVR is encoded and processed at the camera, then streamed to the NVR for storage or remote viewing.
Over time, the cameras will improve, like panorama cameras, and they would be a better option for surveillance and security camera. It’s clear that with digital technology and streaming video we’ve moved into the era of being able to conduct comprehensive video surveillance and store the resulting evidence indefinitely. We can reach around the world or across the street with surveillance equipment.
