Deception, as far as security is concerned, plays an important role. Militaries have been deceiving opposing armies for centuries. Pioneers making their way west would routinely place gun barrels out the sides of the Conestoga wagons. This gave the appearance of multiple armed pioneers, when in fact no one was behind the rifle barrels. Bands of marauders, not knowing for sure, would not attack for fear of losing the battle and their lives. Wooden cannons made to appear as if real would be placed on battlefields. The opposing army many times would hesitate, and make a graceful exit from the field of battle. Using fake security cameras employs the same principles of deception that has been used for years.

Tilt and Pan or PT cameras bring a powerful punch to the benefit of the digital video security and surveillance world. These cameras allow your system to reap the powerful benefit of camera movement. Most PT cameras also offer a third feature, zoom. When this is the case the camera is usually referred to as a PTZ camera.
PT cameras have been used in the video security and surveillance world for quite some time; even when the systems operated in a totally analog format. However, as technology has increased, cameras have become more powerful in function and lighter in weight as well as more versatile in application. Now, digital video cameras with PT functions are much more easily controlled.

Before we continue our discussion on CCTV video storage, let’s briefly review how a digital video security and surveillance system works. Normally the system consists of a digital video camera, a Digital Video Recorder or DVR, and a monitor (or several monitors).

We are asked quite often about the security camera CCD (Charged Coupled Device) and the CMOS or Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor. In the following article we’ll discuss how a digital video system actually works and what importance a security camera CCD has within this system.
First let’s describe a digital video security and surveillance system. It normally consists of three components; the camera(s), the Digital Video Recorder, and a monitor(s). The camera’s function in this system is to capture a video image created by light reflectance and transform it into an electronic image based on electricity. Both live and recorded material is played back by the DVR and may be seen by watching the monitor.
