CCTV systems, or Closed Circuit Television systems, is a system of remote monitoring with the use of cameras. The video cameras are used to transmit signals to a specific location where they may be viewed by a limited set of monitors.

The difference between a Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) system and a television broadcast is that the number of receptors in case of a CCTV monitors are numbered or limited and are also known beforehand. Here the signal is not openly sent but sent to a limited number of monitors by employing point to point links which are generally wireless.
