CCTVs have been around since the 1940s. Back
then it was bulky and very limited in terms of manoeuvrability and used for the
military. Today, CCTVs have gone above and beyond in terms of convenience. It
has also gotten a lot cheaper and requires a lot less equipment. Because of
this, CCTVs have been in use for a variety of commercial and individual uses.
Used mainly for surveillance it has saved us a lot of time preventing and
solving crime.
CCTV
cameras in Singapore are so easy to find and we are listing down some
scenarios in which it can help prevent and solve crime.
1.
Prevention of Crime
The very presence of a
CCTV system is able to deter criminals from doing any crime in the area. With
today’s CCTV technology, capturing a clear image of a perpetrator is possible.
Live coverage of the area
is also important factor in why they prevent crimes. Within seconds of spotting
the crime, you can report the crime to the right authorities. It has helped a
lot of people prevent stealing and vandalism in their place of work.
Pro tip: You can also
detect weak areas in your surveillance technology when monitoring your area.
Blind spots where crime can occur should be immediately covered. If not, make
sure your staff is well aware of these weak spots so that all your bases are
covered for your increased security.
2.
Evidence
A CCTV system in Singapore is an excellent source of evidence used to
solve crime. Law enforcement officers can use this as the proper evidence to
catch criminals. With time stamps, it is one of the most reliable sources of
evidence you can use in court. A judge can watch footage and make his own
conclusion in terms of who did the crime. It doesn’t even have to take footage
of the crime. The appearance of a suspect in a location he said he wasn’t in or
isn’t supposed to be in would be enough for the prosecution to question the
suspect’s motives. E
Pro tip: In order for your
CCTV footage to be considered in court, make sure that it is not something that
can be tampered with. As frustrating as it is, unsecure footage will not be
considered for evidence. Time stamps also have to be updated to current date
and time so that it can be considered a reliable source of evidence.

from home or you just want to keep tabs on your home, a
CCTV surveillance system installed in your home will ease your worries.
CCTVs are also a great way to monitor young children and the elderly. With a
live web feed, you can keep tabs on your home even if you are far away. Plus,
if you notice anything amiss, you can tell someone close by to check on them.

equipment well hidden in areas such as your living room and bedroom.
