RESEARCH RATIONAL OF HOME SECURITY (CCTV)

Abstract
These days, there are a lot of incidents of home robbery done either through “Akyat-Bahay”
and/or inside job. Theft has increased a lot in today’s world, and not everyone can afford a
costly HOME SECUTITY/CCTV. This study proposes the construction of a CCTV, also known as
closed-circuit television, is a security monitor system that enables you to always keep a
watchful eye around or in your business. CCTV security systems contain monitors and cameras
that allow you to view live events, as well as recorders that archive footage for later use.

Introduction
As nations develop and their economies grow bigger, social problems also intensify. One great
concern deals with peace and order as well as safety and security of the people. Various
psychologists would render different explanations to the cases of crimes but what is apparent
even to the most innocent individual is that crimes are everywhere. Anyone can be a victim of
crime; which fosters fear to a lot of people. Knowing its responsibility, the government of
different nations have launched various innovations on how to prevent crimes. One of these
innovations is the use of CCTV. A common goal of most CCTV systems has been the prevention
of crime and disorder through deterrence. Claims are also made that CCTV provides public
reassurance and therefore reduces fear of crime, which may, in turn, increase the use of public
spaces. CCTV has popularly been used worldwide. It can be found in large buildings, wide
establishments or areas such as malls or park, home etc. It is also need on streets for
monitoring and supervising traffic flow. Its effectiveness to provide useful information has been
attested by many agencies and establishments. In the Philippines, CCTV has been popular on
stores, gasoline stations, streets, elevators, laboratory, banks, condominiums, hallways and
privately owned area. One of the most popular use of CCTV was the case of It‘s Showtime Host,
Vhong Navarro, against Cedric Lee and Deniece Cornejo where it proved several points such as
identification of people involved and time lapsed when incident happened. Also, the case
wherein Magaspac‘s identity was revealed; PO3 Magaspac a traffic police at Pasay who was
caught asking extra money to truck drivers passing the expressway.Tacloban City, like many
other cities in the country leaps to progress by its growing number of facilities, establishments,
and roadways. It has also embraced the installation and use of CCTV in malls, educational
institutions, banks, and intersections and diversion roads to provide coverage on their area of
responsibility. The resident however, is not anymore surprised to its presence because of its
popularity, its functional use and capability as security tool. LPU-B for instance, encoded time of
employees’ attendance, student behavior inside laboratory and classrooms that evidence a
query through CCTV footage supervised and monitored by MIS Department in cases of property
destruction or stealing. Police officers in Tacloban City, Philippines use them to prevent crime
and catch lawbreakers in the act. The residents downtown of the same cities help the police
officers to minimize various criminal activities. The popularity and use of Closed Circuit
Television (CCTV) camera has grown rapidly since the technology was first introduced. As we
students under the Information Technology (IT) and with motivation from various professional
Prof, we became highly interested in exploring all means on how crime can be minimized. And
chose to conduct the study on CCTV cameras due to the increasing number of violations done
by the community members, the irregularities made by the people around the area, the
different person in contact with the premises and various incidents during events that can be
solved through the aid of CCTV footages. This study could be used as basis for the improvement
of the future generation technology. In addition, this study was anchored on the concept of
how effective are CCTV cameras as tool for community properties’ safety and security.

Conclusion/Summary
The study generally aimed to determine the effectiveness of closed-circuit television cameras
(CCTV). Specifically, it sought to assess the effectiveness of CCTV cameras; to determine the
usefulness of CCTV Cameras in crime prevention specially drug-related, crimes against property
and crimes against person , etc; and to propose action plan based on the results of the study.
