CCTV (Closed Circuit Television) systems use cameras to capture video footage, which is then transmitted to a monitor or a recording device.

The cameras send the information on the data it captures to the DVR or NVR. The video record then:

  • transmits the information to the screen
  • records the information on the hard disc
  • connects to a router which broadcasts it across the web

This broadcasting is what allows you to access your feed from any computer, iphone or android device.
