The Importance of CCTV Security Systems in Business.

Security is fundamentally important across all walks of life to ensure the overall safety and possessions of all individuals are comprehensively protected.
It is crucial to take security seriously in this day and age. It is not just businesses and commercial properties that need good security but it is our homes too. With crime increasing and burglaries very common place, it is very important to consider the available security options and choose one that is the best fit for you.

One of the most popular and cost effective ways of providing security in the home and place of work is with CCTV cameras and equipment. CCTV cameras can act as a very successful deterrent to thieves and burglars, certainly making them think twice at the very least. The technology behind security equipment these days is incredibly advanced, and it is even possible to hook the cameras up to an ordinary television or computer to watch the footage.

The following are some of the concerns both home and business have and Top 10 Reasons of Why Install CCTV.

Prevent Crime

If you're worried about crime, cameras can not only catch criminals in the act, but the very presence of CCTV systems can make a would-be criminal think twice about any wrong-doing. Think about it, if you planned rob or vandalize a store or office, would you want to do it if you knew you were being recorded?

Prevent Employee Theft

If you suspects one of your employees of wrong-doing but don't know where to begin to try to get to the bottom of things, a camera can be a very helpful tool. This is especially true if you own an establishment where cash is exchanged. Cameras posted near cash registers or other places where employees are often stationed, not only can show you if an employee is stealing, but may even deter an employee from committing a crime if they know you're watching.

Be a useful piece of evidence

If a crime is committed in or around your business and the person accused of committing the crime was caught on camera, you've got an extra piece of evidence for a court case. Jurors and judges can watch footage or view photos from your security cameras and establish that the person on trial did indeed commit the crime. Not only will you be preventing the same person from causing you more trouble in the future, you'll be helping out your entire community.

Help law enforcement solve crime

When someone commits a crime and is caught on camera, police and other law enforcement officials can use the footage to release video or photos to the public via various media outlets. Having a picture of the suspect can make a world of difference when it comes to making an arrest and getting dangerous criminal off the street.

Keep an eye on children and elderly folks

With a CCTV system at home, you can monitor the safety of your children and elderly folks while you are away. Besides, you can keep an eye on your maid and make sure nothing out of the ordinary is going on.

Keep an eye on things

If you can't be at the office all the time but like to know what's going on, a security camera can help do just that. You can keep an eye on things from your home computer with a few quick clicks of your mouse and make sure your business is running smoothly and nothing out of the ordinary is going on.

Protecting your staff

CCTV can protect your staff physically against violence from customers. At the same time, it can also protect them against false accusations - perhaps coming from colleagues or even from client and customers.

Encourage good behaviour

Having a CCTV camera inside offices may help in creating discipline among the employees. For bosses, who want their presence felt so that efficiency at work is optimized, a camera hovering the employees will give the same effect.

Monitoring high-risk area

Cameras may be placed in high-risk areas inside a factory. Such areas may include those in which fires can possibly break out. A camera in place there will lessen potential damages because emergency measures can be made immediately. Cameras may also be placed in areas where accidents can happen. This is important so that life-saving measures can be employed promptly.

Monitoring high-risk areaconfidence

Banks and shops equipped with CCTV cameras give the customers a sense of security and safety. The customers feel secure and this enhances the customers' confidence.

DSTV PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

DSTV DECODER NOT SCANNING
In this situation the decoder searches for signal on various frequencies without connecting to any bouquet. The problem may be caused by: A change in the dish (signal) position, (this can be rectified by a dish realignment) or Cable disconnection between the decoder and the LNB or
A faulty LNB or In rare cases a faulty decoder (Can be verified by connecting another decoder to the same signal or the decoder to another verified signal).

SCANNING FOR TOO LONG
The decoder takes too long to scan and after scanning may experience pixilation (picture cracks) or signal disconnection on some stations.
This problem is caused by low signal strength to the decoder and can be rectified by dish or LNB realignment or in cases where a single LNB signal is shared to 2 decoders by disconnecting the other decoder.
Not Scanning the full no of Bouquets
The decoder connects to less than the usual no of bouquets it usually scans. This problem in most cases is usually a malfunctioning problem and can be rectified by doing a FACTORY RESET.

PIXELATION (PICTURE CRACKS)
Picture cracks usually occur due to a low signal quality. It normally occurs during heavy downpours but if it persists in clear sky conditions or light showers it is likely your dish has slightly shifted from the signal position and needs realignment. You can contact an installer to do this for you.

REMOTE CONTROL
Recent DSTV remote controls are meant to also function for decoders used in the extra view facility. A common problem that occurs from irregular pressing of the remote control buttons is the red/green remote control light blinking on TV2 [exit] instead of TV1 . In this situation the Remote Control Unit (RCU) will not function on the single view decoder. This is rectified by:
Press [SHIFT] After the SHIFT Blinks
Press TV1.
The red/green Remote control light now blinks on TV1.

MALFUNCTIONING DECODER
A good example of the malfunctioning problem is the decoder going off and coming back on intermittently, in some cases changing between SCAN and 1 on the face of the decoder.
A lot of these malfunctioning problems can be rectified by doing a FACTORY RESET on the decoder.
Factory Reset
If difficulty is experienced in the functioning of your Decoder, it may be advisable to do a Factory Reset.
Press [MENU] Scroll to [ADVANCED OPTIONS] and Press [OK] Go to [DISH INSTALLATION] and Press [OK] Enter Pin Code [9949].
Go to [RESET TO FACTORY DEFAULTS] and Press [OK] twice.
OR
Press [MENU] Go to [RESET TO FACTORY DEFAULTS] and Press [OK] twice
After the FACTORY RESET you should unplug the Decoder for about 5 minutes and plug again.
Note: This option is not recommended for Dual View or PVR or Extra View since it may reset other settings that only a qualified DSTV installer can reset again.
Doing FACTORY DEFAULT results in the change of every adjusted setting on the decoder like the TV settings (MODULATION & UHF CHANNEL).
Doing too frequent FACTORY RESET may result to damage of your Decoder.

NO SOUND FROM THE TELEVISION
If there is no sound on your TV connected in RF as is common in extra TVs connected from the decoder you can restore the sound by:
Press [MENU] Go to [ADVANCED OPTIONS] and Press [OK] Go to [TV INSTALLATION] and Press [OK] Enter Pin Code [9949] Press [OK] on [RF MODULATION] Press [OK] on [MODULATION] Use Arrow key to change to [PAL G] or [PAL I] and Press [OK] Go to [ACCEPT THESE SETTINGS] and Press [OK] Press [EXIT] 3 times to clear the screen.
Note: You can also adjust the PAL I or PAL G settings from your TV set instead of your decoder.

PARTIAL OR OVERSIZED PICTURE ON TV
If you are having an irregular picture size displayed on your TV set, you can rectify it by:
Press [MENU] Go to [ADVANCED OPTIONS] and Press [OK] Go to [TV INSTALLATION] and Press [OK] Enter Pin Code [9949] Go to [ASPECT RATIO] and Press [OK] Use Arrow key to change to either [4:3] or [16:9] and Press [OK] Go to [LETTER BOX] or [CROPPED PARTIAL] and Press [OK] Go to [ACCEPT THESE SETTINGS] and Press [OK] Press [EXIT] 3 times to clear the screen.
OR
You can instantly change the Aspect Ratio by
Press [SHIFT] and [TV GUIDE] By pressing these buttons you can toggle through the 4 Aspect Ratio Control (ARC) options and choose the most appropriate for your viewing

SURGING POWER PROBLEMS
A power surge is a sudden increase in voltage, which is significantly above the designated level in an electrical circuit. In Nigeria, the main power supply operates at 220V.
Under normal conditions i.e., in the absence of an electrical failure, this voltage produces a nominal current which operates electronic devices. If this voltage rises above the values tolerated by the devices connected to it, there may be damage caused by the excess current. This problem can be curtailed using surge protectors. A surge protector absorbs the excess current generated in such cases, and thus avoids damages to electronic devices. Some surge protectors not only protect the decoders from irregular currents but also against lightning.

ACTIVATION/RECONNECTION PROBLEMS
It is advisable to make payments before the due (expiry) date of your subscription to avoid reconnection (activation) problems.
For reconnection (activation) after payment you can either:
Call any of the Customer Care lines; 08039003788, 012703232, or 012806877.
You press 0 (To speak to an Agent) at the voice options, and wait for response.

8am-9pm, Monday-Friday.
9am-6pm on Saturdays (12 Noon – 6pm on environmental Saturdays)
12 Noon – 5pm on Sundays.
Note: Not open on Public holidays.
OR
You can also create an SMS with the format: RA [1st 10digit of smart card], example RA 4123456789. And send to 30333 with your registered phone number (phone number registered with subscriber account) while your decoder is on.
To register your mobile phone number, send an email to: [email protected] or call the Customer Care line.
You can also check the due date of your subscription (i.e. when it expires). Create an SMS with the format: DD [1st 10 digit of smart card], example DD 4123456789. Send to 30333 Note: Calling the Customer Care line for activation is the most reliable means of activation.

NOT SEEING CHANNELS
If you are not watching your regular channels on your decoder it is likely you are not on your usual bouquet. You can check to rectify this by
Press [TV] Select Ku Africa and press Ok.
If this option [Ku Africa] doesn’t display
Press [MENU] Scroll to [ADVANCED OPTIONS] and Press [OK] Go to [DISH INSTALLATION] and Press [OK] Enter Pin Code [9949].
Go to [SCAN ALL NETWORKS] and Press [OK]
