Development Process
The step by step procedure of Centralized monitoring of CCTV System for CIT
Building is presented in order. For the system to be quality efficient, accessible, and
durable, assuring the best wiring and installation of CCTV Systems are being conducted in
order to deliver the final output to be usable and reliable as the proposed objectives stated
for. The following processes has been taken to assure the system’s feasibility: Circuit
Designing, Combining the designed circuit to perform the sole function of the system, and
Assembling of System.
Circuit Designing
where privately monitored, essentially for surveillance and security, on a specific and
limited number of screens, hence the most essential part of the system. The heart of CCTV
are the cameras. Cameras are the witness of all happenings in a certain area. As the
advancement of technology goes, cameras also evolved too and improve into its greatest
state, producing different types of it designed for certain conditions. Today’s Camera have
1080P resolution, in colored screen, a night mode function with voice recorder capabilities
Cameras emerge depending on its usage. This types are the following: Bullet, Dome, and
Fisheye. Bullet cameras are long and cylindrical shape, that are ideal for outdoor use. Their
34
strengths lie specifically in applications which require long distance viewing. Installed
within protective casings, the cameras are protected against dust, dirt and other natural
elements. The cameras can be easily mounted with a mounting bracket, and come fitted
with either fixed or varifocal lenses depending on the requirements of its intended
application. Other benefits of bullet cameras includes the following: Adaptability – can use
indoors and outdoors, compact size aids installation, and high quality image resolution.
Dome camera was one most common used for indoor security and surveillance. The shape
of the camera makes it difficult for onlookers to tell which way the camera was facing,
which was a strong piece of design, deterring criminals by creating an air of uncertainty.
Other benefits of dome cameras includes the following: Ease of installation, vandal-proof
features and infrared capability. Fisheye and panoramic cameras offer a much wider field
of view than fixed cameras, up to 360 degrees. Unlike fixed cameras that narrow in on a
specific spot or area such as a room, hallway, office cubicle, and entrances and exits,
fisheye and panoramic cameras can cover a much higher wider area. Depending on your
security needs, a fisheye or panoramic camera may be what you’re looking for, as both can
provide surveillance for broad areas like stores, warehouses, parking lots, stadiums,
museums, concert halls, and ports. Fisheye cameras create an image that replicates a circle
or barrel, with a 180-degree or 360-degree wide field of view shown in the lens’ diameter
circle. The curve of the fisheye lens can see in all directions at the same time, making it a
practical surveillance camera choice for retail boutique stores, transportation vehicles, of
office. Fisheyes are usually flush mounted on a ceiling or wall to monitor and record a wide
area, particularly at the centre point of the location. Furthermore, fisheye cameras have a
35
discrete shape so they blend in exceptionally well with just about any background. Figure
36
These types of CCTV cameras are being used in different areas in EIR and EEC
department. The bullet camera is mostly used in the project for both EIR and EEC
department, dome cameras are also installed in indoor areas of the EIR department, and
fish eye camera is solely installed outside the main hall of CIT Building.
CCTV Cameras won’t be useful without the use of “DVR”. Cameras can see every
current situation but it cannot record this if DVR is not present, making the DVR the
memory of the CCTV system. Stands for "Digital Video Recorder." A DVR is basically a
VCR that uses a hard drive instead of video tapes. It can be used to record, save, and play
back television programs. Unlike a VCR, however, a DVR can also pause live TV by
recording the current show in real time. The user can choose to fast forward (often during
analogue signals from a CCTV or Closed Circuit Camera into digital format, keeps or
maintains the information in a hard drive and transmits live video stream to other devices
A Closed Circuit Camera, which has a DVR is not completely analogue. The CCTV
transmits the video signal in an analogue format and the connected DVR transmits the
received signals to the digital format prior to recording and sending over the respective
network. Therefore, while you are using a CCTV project, which has minimum one DVR,
your CCTV is not essentially analogue. It is in reality a hybrid CCTV project. All these
resolutions are quite common now in CCTV systems and the related DVR, which have the
A 720p resolution initiates from the quantity of pixels in the image, which is 1280
x 720 vertically and horizontally respectively. If you increase these pixels, you will get a
37
complete 921,600 pixels that is equal to 0.9 Mega pixels.1080p resolution initiates from
the quantity of pixels in the image, which is 1920 x 1080 horizontally and vertically
respectively. If you multiply all these pixels, you will get 2,073,600 pixels, which is equal
to 2 Mega pixels. Figure 4 shows the Digital Video Recorder having a 16 channel input
CCTV System can be installed via wire or wireless depending on the situation it
needs. Even though the trend of today’s technology goes wirelessly, there are some factors
that interferes in this kind of connection such as range and internet availability to monitor
CCTV cameras of a certain area, resulting security concerns that might happen because of
that discrepancy. This is the reason why wired communication is still more reliant in
connecting every cameras that goes to the monitoring system of CCTV. And for that,
CAT5e Untwisted Pair (UTP) suits the function very well. Category 5 cables and category
5 enhanced cables are normal copper 24 AWG, or American wire gauge, wires. They can
carry current to devices that require low-voltage electricity. When using CAT-5e to power
security cameras, two things must be taken into consideration: voltage drop, which depends
on the distance between the device, and the resistance of the wire. POE, or "Power over
38
Ethernet," is now used to provide power over CAT-5 cables as well. It can provide up to
15.4 watts of power. Figure 5 shows the UTP cable that is being used in the CCTV circuit.
digital, the requirement of DVR to give video output in Monitoring Screens. Video Balun
is the suited converter that is attach on both ends of the UTP cable. CCTV video baluns,
also known as UTP baluns, allow the security camera installer to minimize cost of wiring
for surveillance camera installations by using network cabling such as category 6 or CAT5e
cable instead of Siamese Coax Cable. With UTP video baluns any type of twisted pair wire
or 2-wire structured cabling such as RJ11 phone wire can be used to transmit video signals
up to 3000ft.
For example, if you are beginning a CCTV System installation in an office building
there may already be CAT3 or CAT-5 telephone lines. Presence of such cabling can
eliminate the need to run coaxial cable. Also important to note is that you only need one
twisted pair (two wire leads) to run one video signal. In a network CAT5 or CAT6 cable
there are 4 pairs of 22 gauge twisted pair wiring, which means you can run up to four
39
When choosing the correct Video Balun for your security camera installation, you
should consider the distance of transmission. There are two types of baluns, i.e. passive
balun (non-powered), and active video balun (powered). For video transmission less than
1000ft, passive balun are be used on both ends. For longer distances, we recommend the
use of Active Video Baluns to transmit video up to 3000ft. It is also common practice to
use a passive video balun on the camera and Active Video Balun Receiver to achieve video
transmission up to 1500ft. Regardless of which UTP video balun you use, it is important
to keep in mind that the quality of the wire determines the success of your CCTV install.
CCA CAT5e wire can be used for short distances, but for long distances like 1000ft and
above, we recommend using solid copper CAT5e wire. Figure 6 shows the Video Baluns
Combining the above stated components, a stable CCTV system can be done and
this will be utilized by both EIR and EEC department to deliver a high quality surveillance
system for CIT Building. Figure 7 is a brief representation of a simplified CCTV system,

The Electrical, Industrial Automation, Refrigeration and Aircondition
TECHNOLOGY Department (E.I.R) consists of a main hall or the entrance of the main
building, a hallway that will lead to different rooms and another exit that will goes on the
parking area. This areas are designated with cameras that corresponds to the floor plan that
the researcher developed and improved. Figure 8 shows the suited CCTV Wiring and floor
In the EIR Department, adding of cameras are the first priority in installing the
system, making the main hall entrance to have a new fish eye camera that can see the
panoramic view of lover’s lane, adding another bullet type camera on the alternate exit

route and even on the parking lot area, making the ground floor area in EIR department
secured and monitored well. Furthermore, the existing monitoring system of Local Student
Council is not affected by the integration process and still they can continue monitoring
the front of LSC area and Room 1 of EIR Department, making a new discovery that we
can tap two UTP wires that can feed in different monitors simultaneously.
On the other hand, the Electronics and Electronics Communication Department has
been reconstructed resulting of additional academic rooms built and in need of surveillance
attention. A revision of existing floor plan from the previous CCTV project has been
conducted to show the allocation of additional cameras, proper wiring installation and the
point of vision of each cameras. Figure 9 shows the revised floor plan of EEC department
43
Due to new rooms that is being built in the third floor, a bullet type camera is
installed in front of room 315 almost , making a new line of sight beyond the newly built
academic rooms, on the other side, camera is also installed in front of stairway 3 area,
After both department’s plan implemented, the integration process for the
Centralized Monitoring System will be initialized. In this one stop monitoring circuit,
assurance of high definition video output, easy access and consistent surveillance is
expected as the monitoring unit will use a high quality digital video recorder, a 32’ inch
Flat Screen Smart TV that is located and mounted in the Dean’s Office of CIT building.
With this, figure 10 shows the representation of main server area in the Dean’s office where
