The Advent of CCTV and New Frontiers

When Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) first emerged it revolutionized crime deterrence. The feeling that one’s behavior in a public place could be recorded and kept on file was, and still remains, a significant element of crime prevention and even non-criminal deviant behavior.

The more CCTV became prevalent, the more uses it found. Not only for preventing crime as a determent but also for forensic purposes and for interdiction by the state or other authorities, such as business management. Especially when it comes to retail and other brick and mortar businesses, CCTV serves to help stop or prevent petty crimes and destructive behaviors at the premises.

The truth is that CCTV is and will remain a very important part of security services. Besides being able to record what takes place 24/7 without fail, it can also serve to handle crime as it is taking place or pursue and resolve crime right after it has been committed. With new technologies and AI applications coupled with CCTV, computer monitoring software can now learn to detect when out of the ordinary events are likely to imminently occur, and thus alert human operators to take appropriate action for preemption or apprehension.

In order to maximize the potential of CCTV, proper planning is necessary. Cameras must be installed strategically in order to ensure the biggest possible coverage of the area to be surveilled. An experienced crew can place cameras in such a way that 100% coverage can be achieved with a minimum of cameras, working with proper angles and perspectives of the space in question.

The cameras themselves must also be of high quality in order to remain reliable and maintained regularly.

At Krypto, we value CCTV as a retrospective and proactive solution to dealing with crime and generally harmful behavior.

Retrospective, quality CCTV is able to record high-resolution images at a high level of zooming in order to fully and reliably document incidents that may occur. This enables users to assist authorities in the persecution of crime but also to clarify an incident’s events in the first place.

Proactively, i.e. for the prevention of crime, Krypto has cutting edge technology to properly and timely alert the trained staff for incidents that are likely to imminently occur or are currently occurring. With remote voice communication features features and other interactive capacities, Krypto’s trained operators can stop criminal behavior while it is taking place, thus preventing real damage from taking place.

We firmly believe in CCTV’s capacity to keep residences and businesses safe at a significantly higher rate than when no CCTV has been installed. Often clients report that the main reason for not having such a system installed is purely financial, which is why at Krypto we have different solutions that will ensure that everyone has access to quality CCTV and enjoy the security it guarantees.

While we have a wide range of cameras available, they are all of the highest quality control and manufactured by companies spearheading CCTV technology such as Avigilon and Uniview.

We also offer special CCTV kits at very affordable prices, containing from four to eight cameras as well as the matching NVRs for a complete CCTV system. With our highly trained technicians’ experience, in most cases, a single CCTV kit is enough to guarantee 100% coverage of a location.

In our day and age, CCTV has become a vital necessity. At Krypto, you have the opportunity to enjoy it without breaking the bank, while also having access to state of the art technical and service support to complement a wholistic surveillance and prevention system.
