Splitting Crime prevention and prevalence into two sections
Due to the amount of information now in the Crime Prevention of Prevalence section I propose splitting these into two distinct sections: Crime Prevention and Prevalence. It will make it easier to read. Any thoughts?Infocourse (talk) 22:44, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Changes to Crime prevention and prevalence Section
I am proposing to add a few changes to this section. First I would like to add a small notation on the cost-benefit of the installation of CCTV for crime prevention as currently this is missing. Second, I would like to add a counter argument to Public Area CCTV and Crime Prevention: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis article to provide a more well rounded view to this section of the article.

Article Title
I noticed that the term "Video Surveillance" links to the "Closed-Circuit Television" (CCTV)article. Do you agree on having two different articles, one for video surveillance and a separate one for CCTV? Video surveillance is more than a fixed camera like CCTV is. Thoughts? --RPT01 (talk) 16:25, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I think that having the Video Surveillance article link in here may no longer be appropriate. Times change.  While at one time virtually all video surveillance used or was CCTV, that is clearly no longer the case.  So I support your idea to reconsider the article title.  If something gets going on this later on, someone please invite me back. N2e (talk) 21:03, 6 October 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree about the split. On U.S. campuses, closed circuit television can refer to the campus-only (often cable) television network consisting of a mix of local productions and entertainment networks like mtvU, Zilo, and the former Burly Bear.  72.244.207.70 (talk) 07:54, 21 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I support the split: The term closed circuit TV (CCTV) is a tired tern used in the 70's and 80's. Few professionals in the industry refers to the industry as CCTV anymore. The key term is Video Surveillance. Checking the search volume on google for both terns clearly shows video surveillance dominates 4 to 1 over CCTV as the reference used for the technology and the industry.[ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scm research (talk • contribs)


 * Also supporting the split. Suggestion to change the title to "Video Surveillance" and including a general and modern definition of video surveillance, background, history and technology contributions. All different technologies should be split to their own articles. 195.60.68.148 (talk) 13:26, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

I don't see a reason for a multiway split. Most the article is about security cameras, their technology and politics. That's what should be split off, into Security camera which would mostly be about the use of video for this purpose but would also mention the automatic film cameras that were used in many banks in the 1970s. Old and tired as the term "CCTV" may be it is still a distinctive topic; merely one not dominated anymore by a single application. Jim.henderson (talk) 02:47, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Instead of splitting, how about renaming it Video surveillance?

We could keep a paragraph talking about the historical use of "closed-circuit television".

I agree with the split. It would make a lot of sense. Maybe CCTV (Surveillance) and CCTV (Television)? Quintus π talk 01:29, 26 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Isn't it all television? Jim.henderson (talk) 06:03, 8 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Split declined for now. (Video) surveillance is an aspect of CCTV which is explained in the article. There is no specific section on surveillance in general - the nearest would be Crime prevention and prevalence in the UK. If (when?) a section on surveillance develops to an extent it becomes too large then it can be split out per WP:Summary style.  SilkTork  *YES! 22:23, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi, guys~ I've been lead here to find some useful guidence about how to understand the architecture and technics of digital surveillance video system with popular IT technologies, and how to build my own one. But I find little I want. The ideas to create a sperated article of surveillance system, I think that may help engineers like me. I suggest that article should have a large part descripting the relationships of those protocols, like H.264, MPEG4, SIP, etc. If I made myself not so confused with those issues, I would pay my contribution within that page, I promise~ --Esmool (talk) 16:30, 16 April 2011 (UTC+8)
