Key Components of a Commercial CCTV System:

1. Cameras

   • Dome Cameras – Ideal for indoor surveillance, discreet and resistant to tampering.

   • Bullet Cameras – More visible and used for outdoor monitoring with long-range capabilities.

   • PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) Cameras – Allow remote control movement and zooming for flexible coverage.

   • IP Cameras – High-resolution digital cameras that transmit footage over a network.

   • Thermal Cameras – Used in low-light environments for detecting heat signatures.

2. Recording & Storage

   • DVR (Digital Video Recorder) – Used for analogue camera setups.

   • NVR (Network Video Recorder) – Works with IP cameras for high-quality recording.

   • Cloud Storage – Provides off-site storage and remote access to footage.

3. Network & Connectivity

   • Wired Systems – Use coaxial or Ethernet cables for stable connections.

   • Wireless Systems – Transmit data over Wi-Fi for easier installation.

4. Power Supply

   • PoE (Power over Ethernet) – Simplifies installation by providing power and data through a single cable.

   • UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) – Ensures cameras remain functional during power outages.

5. Monitoring & Control
