  • What is CCTV?

    CCTV stands for Closed Circuit Television. It is a video system that consists of strategically placed video cameras around an area that records footage, and is then transmitted to a display monitor(s) for real-time viewing as well as footage playback.


    It refers to all aspects and components that make up the system, such as the camera, wiring, video footage storage (via the cloud or digital video recorder), monitors, access control and general system management.

    You would want to use a CCTV system to increase the security of your business premises and have surveillance on key areas at any one time. This would be particularly useful for large premises or one that holds valuable equipment, products or information.

    As well as recording video footage, a CCTV system can also notify you if there is activity or movement on a certain camera at a set time. For instance, in the dead of night whilst the business premises in closed and employees have gone home. This notification could indicate that someone may be about or looking to break-in to your site.

    Although a CCTV system can be used for the surveillance of on-site activity, during and out of working hours, it can also be used to help identify wanted criminals, as well as act as a deterrent to potential intruders.

    How Does CCTV Work?

    Want to know the ins and outs of how a CCTV system works? It’s not complicated, but it does vary depending on the type of system you install and the components used. However, the overall process is the same.

    Consisting of at least one camera, lens, monitor and recorder, a CCTV system can be scaled up or down depending on the size of area wanting surveillance. CCTV works by the camera or cameras taking a constant sequence of images that are then transmitted by cable or wirelessly (depending on the chosen system type) to the recording device and then on to the display monitor, which enables an individual to see the sequence of images as video footage. Depending on the type of cameras used, they may also have the ability to zoom in and out and rotate 360 degrees.

    As mentioned previously, there are many types of CCTV systems with various cameras that have a number of uses, such as night vision, thermal imaging and number plate recognition.

    The two main types of system are:

    Wired: Cameras and the rest of the system is wired

    Wireless: No wires are needed as the system works via an internet connection.

Alternating Current

  What Is Alternating Current? An  alternating current  can be defined as a current that changes its magnitude and polarity at regular intervals of time. It can also be defined as an electrical current that repeatedly changes or reverses its direction opposite to that of Direct Current or DC, which always flows in a single direction as shown below From the graph, we can see that the charged particles in AC tend to start moving from zero. It increases to a maximum and then decreases back to zero completing one positive cycle. The particles then reverse their direction and reach the maximum in the opposite direction after which AC again returns to the original value completing a negative cycle. The same cycle is repeated again and again. Alternating currents are also accompanied usually by alternating voltages. Besides, alternating current is also easily transformed from a higher voltage level to a lower voltage level.

SOLAR TRANSFORMERS

  The transformers required for wind power and solar DPV require special design features to meet the challenging operating conditions. The industry today has developed different types of transformers for the application. The last few decades have seen very rapid development of renewable energy, especially, distributed photovoltaic (DPV) and wind power. It is estimated that at least 40 per cent of electricity generation by year 2040 would be from renewable energy sources and this would give appreciable reduction of the present level of carbon dioxide emissions of about 10 billion tons per year. The transformer industry is rising to this challenge and has developed special transformers for the DPV generation and wind generation. Transformers are critical components in solar energy production and distribution. Historically, transformers have ‘stepped-up’ or ‘stepped-down’ energy from non-renewable sources. There are different types of solar transformers including distribution, station, su
