CCTV surveillance equipment, also called a CCTV camera system, is a visual surveillance tool developed for monitoring various environments and activities. An important advancement in the security and surveillance field, many businesses stand to benefit from installing CCTV (closed circuit television) in their stores and offices.

Modern CCTV surveillance equipment involves CCD (charge coupled device) video cameras, cable or wireless transmitters/receivers, and monitors. The equipment does not transmit TV signals to the public, but broadcasts them over to limited monitor(s). Video cameras are operated remotely from a control room.
