proud to offer investigators CCTV Surveillance -
Video Practices and technology by Herman Kruegle.
Description
The past decade has seen closed circuit television (CCTV) technology emerge as
a distinct entity within the large and developing security industry. Its successful
implementation requires understanding of many technical disciplines, all of which
are detailed in this book. From scene illumination, to signal transmission, to
display and recording technology, CCTV Surveillance is the only book available
which teaches all the aspects of CCTV. CCTV has become the crucial ingredient
in the overall security system. Just as the proverb 'a picture is worth a thousand
words' applies in everyday life, so too does the CCTV picture provide the essential
ingredient to the successful security system. CCTV Surveillance is written in
a format useful to the student interested in security, the system designer, consultant,
architect and engineer, as well as the end user-management or the security director.
The book covers CCTV from theory to equipment to application, from light source
to final monitoring, recording and printing - and everything in between. Much
of the design theory is written in generic form and is applicable to all forms
of CCTV use. Specific subjects covered include: the need for CCTV, the safety/security
scenario, cover cameras transmission, monitors, switchers, camera housing, recorders,
printers, image intensifiers and accessories. Each chapter begins with an overview
of the subject for the manager and security director, and proceeds with the theory,
design and hardware information essential for successful implementation. All
chapters are well illustrated - diagrams, tables, photographs to provide complete
information for all reader categories. The applications chapter provides seven
practical examples with layouts, schematics and a bill of materials (BOM) for
the complete CCTV systems. A comprehensive glossary defines terms generic to
CCTV and electro-optics and aids to understand the subject.
Audience
Security managers, consultants, designers dealers and installers, investigators.
