COC:3 CCTV (Closed Circuit Television)
CCTV (Closed Caption Television)

Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) is a system in which the
circuit is closed and all the elements are directly connected.
This is unlike broadcast television where any receiver that is
correctly tuned can pick up the signal from the airwaves.
Directly connected in this context includes systems linked by
microwave, infrared beams, etc. This article introduces the
main components that can go to make up CCTV systems of
varying complexity.
The Applications for CCTV
Monitoring traffic on a bridge.
Recording the inside of a baking oven to find the cause of
problems.
A temporary system to carry out a traffic survey in a town
centre.
Time lapse recording for the animation of plasticine puppets.
Used by the stage manager of a show to see obscured parts of
a set.
The well-publicised use at football stadiums.
Hidden in buses to control vandalism.
Recording the birth of a gorilla at a zoo.
Making a wildlife program using a large model helicopter.
Reproducing the infrared vision of a goldfish!
Aerial photography from a hot air balloon.
Production control in a factory.
CCTV PARTS AND FUNTIONS
The Camera
The starting point for any CCTV system must be the camera. The camera creates the
picture that will be transmitted to the control position. Apart from special designs
CCTV cameras are not fitted with a lens. The lens must be provided separately and
screwed onto the front of the camera. There is a standard screw thread for CCTV
cameras, although there are different types of lens mounts.
The Monitor
The picture created by the camera needs to be reproduced at the control position. A
CCTV monitor is virtually the same as a television receiver except that it does not
have the tuning circuits.
Security DVR (Digital Video Recorder)
The security DVR is the heart of a CCTV system. This is where the video the security
cameras are capturing is recorded, stored, and managed. The security DVR will come
with software pre-loaded that gives you the freedom to manage and configure each
security camera individually. Every security camera will have to be cabled back to the
security DVR. Security DVR’s are available in 4, 8, and 16 channel configurations,
and each security camera will attach to its own channel.
RG59 Siamese CCTV cable
allows installers to run both the video and power to security cameras (analog CCTV,
720p and 1080p HD cameras) using a single cable run. RG-59 coaxial cable comes in
500 and 1000 foot spools and is available in black or white colors. The RG59 cable
that CCTV Camera Pros supplies has a solid copper core and 95% copper braided
shielding. This is the best type of coax cable to use for CCTV and HD CCTV
installations.
Coaxial Cable
BNC (Bayonet Neill–Concelman) connector
is a miniature quick connect/disconnect radio frequency connector used for coaxial
cable. It features two bayonet lugs on the female connector; mating is fully achieved
with a quarter turn of the coupling nut. BNC connectors are used with miniature-to-
subminiature coaxial cable in radio, television, and other radio-
frequency electronic equipment, test instruments, and video signals. The BNC was
commonly used for early computer networks.

BNC Connector ( Video Baluun )
DC connector (or DC plug, for one common type of connector)
is an electrical connector for supplying direct current (DC) power.
CCTV power supply box
also known as a power distribution box, allows surveillance system installers to easily
manage the power to multiple CCTV cameras at a central point (usually at the
location of the DVR). This allows your camera installation to be neater. For example,
instead of having 8 power supply plugs, plug into power strip/electric surge
protector, all of your camera power wires can neatly be run to a power supply box.

Common Troubleshooting for CCTV Cameras
Picture not Displayed in the Monitor

The most common cause of this problem is the presence of
open or shorts in the wiring cable. The best way to set it right
is by disconnecting the cable at both ends; followed by
checking with a meter.
Another probability is power supply loss; mainly with a low
voltage CCTV camera. The power supply fuse and the system
mains supply must be inspected for the same.
No Display
Presence of “Ghost Effect” in the Monitor
Reflections of the improperly terminated video signals are seen as
ghost images. These are secondary images which cause distorted
viewing. The signal has to be either redirected onto another video
product or terminated to solve the issue.
Darker Foreground in Bright Background
This is caused when a bright spot in the image makes the

iris to close or the imager to reduce picture gain. Hence
the unlit region appears darker than the rest.
Backlight compensation or reposition camera seems to

be an effective alternative to avoid lighting problems of
this sort.
Smearing of Bright Spots on the Monitor
-The light reflected from the scene being viewed is captured

by the camera. When the light source is bright, a bright white
spot with a vertical line passing through it may be seen on the
monitor. It is more common during nights.
-Altering the position of the camera so as to avoid bright

light in the scene can be the ideal troubleshooting tip.
Snowy Picture or Scrolling of Snowy Bars on the Screen
-When radio, magnetic or electrical interference signals are

picked up by the coax cables, it results in snowy
bars.Inexpensive cables most often cause this kind of
problems.
-The cables must be re-routed away from the problematic

region. Also, good quality cables must be employed and kept
away from the existing mains and data cable routes.
