Modern CCTV systems can often consist of wireless mini cameras that can only be spotted if someone is really examining the walls and ceilings of a home or business. Cameras can be disguised as light fixtures, fire and smoke alarms and other objects that one would expect to find. Other cameras can be no bigger than a tube of lipstick and can be placed where no one will see them but where they will see all.
Another shift in the use of CCTV systems is how they are monitored. Where the dark room with the wall of monitors was once the norm, advanced computer based monitoring systems are used to store all of the video captured. Additionally, many systems allow remote monitoring over the internet using PCs, tablets and even smartphones.
The clarity and level of detail that these newer cameras provide over their predecessors is equally impressive. The best part is that many CCTV systems are so affordable that they are becoming common place in both the office and the home.
