🔍 CCTV (Closed-Circuit Television) is the traditional method of video monitoring, using analog or IP cameras connected to DVRs or NVRs. It provides basic security with local monitoring and limited remote access.

🚀 Video Surveillance Systems (VSS) are the next-gen evolution of CCTV, integrating AI-powered analytics, cloud storage, remote access, and real-time alerts. These systems offer smart monitoring, facial recognition, motion detection, and IoT integration, making them ideal for modern security needs.

✅ CCTV is great for basic security in homes and small businesses.

✅ VSS is a smart, scalable solution for enterprises, smart cities, and critical infrastructure.
