CCTV cameras are like watchful eyes that help keep places safe. When people see cameras, they’re less likely to do something wrong because they know they’re being watched. If something bad does happen, the video can show exactly what happened, which helps the police catch the right person.

Now, these cameras can do even more cool stuff:

• They can hear loud or strange sounds, like gunshots or glass breaking, and send an alert.
• They can “see” heat, which helps spot fires early.
• They can watch places that people can’t easily reach, like rooftops or big buildings.
• In shops or offices, they help catch people trying to steal or do something wrong

Some systems are also smart. They can recognize faces, read car number plates, and even spot weird behavior—like someone hanging around for too long in one place.
