A study commissioned by UK’s Home office revealed that the areas where CCTV security systems are installed, crime rates have come down owing to the surveillance. Burglary in houses with CCTV system is far less than in houses with not. Also, employee cheating in offices and student misbehavior at schools and colleges has reduced because of the monitoring system. People tend to behave properly when they know they are being monitored. Thus, security systems have proved to be very effective for whatever purposes they are used.
Flexibility:
1) With the advancement in technology, security footage monitored through closed-circuit system can be accessed in many formats.
2) The most basic form is the delivery of footage to a traditional desk with monitors, watched by security personnel. However, that is not the only form; the security system can also be monitored online via internet, allowing the supervisors to monitor their homes and business from anywhere in the world.
3) technology has given rise to the need of mobile supervision, and thus, some CCTV systems can also be monitored via internet on mobile devices. That’s real flexibility!
