The correct use of CCTV systems can be a valuable tool by greatly increasing the area protected by a Security Officer. These systems can vary from a one or two camera/single monitor system to a multiple camera/multi monitor operation.

The Range Security Officer, trained in CCTV surveillance techniques, can observe several areas simultaneously and be in a position to prevent situations developing into problems.

Areas where such systems are becoming more common include car parks, site perimeters, retail areas, warehousing, transport etc.
