Integrated security covers a wide variety of systems including intrusion alarms, access control, and CCTV. These systems can be integrated into a single system or be comprised of individual systems for each technology type. It depends upon the individual requirements of each installation.
"CCTV systems may operate continuously or only as required to monitor a particular event. A more advanced form of CCTV, utilizing Digital Video Recorders (DVRs), provides recording for possibly many years, with a variety of quality and performance options and extra features (such as motion-detection and email alerts). More recently, decentralized IP-based CCTV cameras, some equipped with megapixel sensors, support recording directly to network-attached storage devices, or internal flash for completely stand-alone operation."
