For over seven decades of revolution, the CCTV technology
had evolved from monitoring to recording, low resolution to high resolution,
all this is about security nowadays.
Originally Live Monitoring CCTV
The first CCTV Distributor was installed by Siemen AG for testing to
observe the launch of V-2 rockets, which also known as Vericon in year 1942. It
only involved in two components which are camera and monitors. It used to place
the camera which nearby the rocket or sewer pipe when they did the launch
testing, so that everyone can monitor through the viewer.
The Primitive Or Emergence Of VCRs
In year 1980’s, the CCTV had evolved from monitoring to
recording video. The VCR’s and multiplexers used between the cameras and
monitors. The multiplexers allow to monitoring in iconic split screen when multiple
cameras install for one monitor. In the other meaning, it can be switch to
other channel to watch other camera viewer. At that time, CCTV turn up it can
be recording the moment where the camera place. If crime happened, the
recording will be given authorities as proof or evidence. So, it is considered
as primitive video recordings or the emergence of VCRs.
Digital Age Of "Multiplexing"
In year 2000’s, the
world move toward to digitalize, the DVR had substitute by the VCR, the tape
which used for recording purposes had substitute by the hard drive such as DVD
or USB. The DVR function record internally, also writing over itself when the
hard drive is full. With the format implemented, the files are organized accordingly.
It helps the users ease of find the video with the time search feature.
The New Generation Network Camera Or IP Surveillance
In the new era century, the technology has advancing and
everything is going digitize. The surveillance system as safety and security
are one of the important concerns for public. The most advance technology current market is
now using IP Surveillance which also
known Network Camera. There are two
differences between the DVR and IPSurveillance. One of it is the resolution of the video which contain the IP
megapixel cameras are five times or higher than the standard analog video. Functionally,
the video can allow the single camera to monitor larger area, zoom in record
without losing quality and image clarity. Another one of the differences is web-based
and it can control through the computer, mobile phone and certain digital
device to monitoring or do video transferring. Therefore, it creates more
flexibility and scalability.

It is how impressive the technology improves todays as it really does prove that it helped to prevent crime case. For you property consideration, losing and insecure is not everyone would like it to be happened. The Network Camera will prove how valuable of safety, loss prevention and security of it.
