A Brief Look at the Benefits of CCTV Camera Systems

Surveillance cameras have been around for years and we are all painfully aware of the limitations of older analog camera systems still in use in many homes and businesses. First of all, an analog camera system is likely to require lengthy wiring or, if they are wireless, will have a limited range which makes it impossible to place them all around your home or business. Another limitation of an analog surveillance camera is the fact that it has a very low image resolution, usually less than VGA or 640X480. This means that in low light situations, you may not even be able to make out the face of the clothing of someone that you have captured trying to break into your building. What use is that?
