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CCTV (Closed-Circuit Television) systems once defined commercial surveillance, but today, they’ve largely been replaced by high-resolution, IP-based solutions.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 These systems are considered outdated compared to IP cameras, but may still function in certain environments.
Limitations to Consider
