What is CCTV Installation?

CCTV (Closed-Circuit Television) installation sets up security cameras to monitor and protect properties from unauthorised access, theft, and vandalism. These systems play a vital role in maintaining safety, providing live surveillance, and recording video footage for future reference. CCTV technology has evolved significantly, offering remote viewing, motion detection, and cloud-based storage features.
