Caught on Camera - guidance for CCTV installation and operation
Using a fictional transit bus bombing as its story line, the 20-minute instructional video produced by the FBI’s Forensic Audio, Video and Image Analysis Unit shows how closed circuit television (CCTV) systems can be installed and maintained for maximum effect—not only for the business owner but for the needs of law enforcement as well.
Caught on Camera shows how to avoid common problems such as installing cameras in the wrong places, ignoring lighting and line-of-sight issues, and having administrators who don’t understand how the systems operate. “Many business owners think their systems are fine until something happens,” Katrina Gossman, FBI unit chief for the Forensic Audio, Video, and Image Analysis Unit said.
The information contained in this brief video will provide to security personnel with practical, helpful tips to ensure that school-based CCTV systems work to the best of their ability. There are many ways for CCTV systems to fail, one of the actors explained. “But when the system works, it can make all the difference.” If you are going to install a CCTV system, the video points out, “Do it right—for yourself, for law enforcement, and for your community.”

- La cámara equivocada, - La cámara correcta pero un uso o ubicación equivocada, - Desaprovechar el plano o la infraestructura del lugar, - No sacarle máximo provecho a su equipo de grabación, - Desconocimiento de las características de los equipos escogidos, - Falta de capacitación del personal que trabaja con el equipo... .... pero, cuando el sistema funciona y se instala y usa adecuadamente puede marcar una gran diferencia. Esperamos que éste video marque la diferencia en la forma como concibe y maneja su sistema CCTV. Si lo hace, hágalo bien, por usted!!! |
