Still Supporting Today

CCTV (Closed-Circuit Television) systems once defined commercial surveillance, but today, they’ve largely been replaced by high-resolution, IP-based solutions. At Vulcan Security Systems, we continue to support legacy CCTV deployments for clients with existing systems or special use cases, while advising on strategic upgrades.

What Are CCTV Systems?

CCTV systems are analog video surveillance setups where video is transmitted via coaxial cable to on-site recorders. These systems are considered outdated compared to IP cameras, but may still function in certain environments.

  • On-Site Recording: Video captured and stored on local DVRs only
  • Limited Resolution: Lower clarity, often not suitable for modern identification or analytics
  • Basic Monitoring: Typically lacks remote access or intelligent event detection

Limitations to Consider

Low Image Quality
Difficult to identify people or details

Limited Smart Features
Lacks AI, alerts, or advanced analytics

Limited Integration
Not easily compatible with modern networks

Higher Long-Term Costs
Maintenance and parts harder to source
