Preferred term

closed circuit television  

Definition

  • Closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras are one of the most high-profile and indeed controversial security measures available to help prevent victimization. Locating cameras in areas that then transmit images to a central base enables operators to keep watch over different places at the same time.
