46-630: Kozhikode railway station (also known as Kozhikode Main railway station)(station code: CLT) is an NSG–2 category Indian railway station in Palakkad railway division of Southern Railway zone . It was given by Kallingal Madathil Rarichan Moopan to the British Indian Railways for a lease agreement of 99 years. It is one of the largest and major railway stations in the state of Kerala . At ₹ 200 crore (equivalent to ₹ 249 crore or US$ 30 million in 2023) in financial year 2018–19, it
92-636: A Metropolitan Police report showed that in 2008 only one crime was solved per 1000 cameras. In some cases CCTV cameras have become a target of attacks themselves. Cities such as Manchester in the UK are using DVR -based technology to improve accessibility for crime prevention. In October 2009, an "Internet Eyes" website was announced which would pay members of the public to view CCTV camera images from their homes and report any crimes they witnessed. The site aimed to add "more eyes" to cameras which might be insufficiently monitored. Civil liberties campaigners criticized
138-748: A capacity to accommodate trains with 24 coaches and the third platform 20 coaches. The fourth one has the capacity to accommodate 24 coaches. It heralds as the only A–1 graded station in Palakkad railway division with a daily turnout exceeding 25,000 passengers. It is one of the major railway stations in Kerala with trains connecting the city to other major cities in India such as Ernakulam , Thiruvananthapuram , Chennai , Coimbatore , Madurai , Bangalore , Mangalore , New Delhi , Mumbai , Hyderabad , Ahmedabad , Kolkata , Surat , Pune , Jaipur , Visakhapatnam , Jammu Tawi , Goa , and so forth. Other railway stations in
184-430: A number of uses. For example, as a new form of surveillance in law enforcement, with cameras located on a police officer's chest or head. Many cities and motorway networks have extensive traffic-monitoring systems, using closed-circuit television to detect congestion and notice accidents. Many of these cameras however, are owned by private companies and transmit data to drivers' GPS systems. Highways England has
230-549: A particular event. A more advanced form of CCTV, using digital video recorders (DVRs), provides recording for possibly many years, with a variety of quality and performance options and extra features (such as motion detection and email alerts). More recently, decentralized IP cameras , perhaps equipped with megapixel sensors, support recording directly to network-attached storage devices, or internal flash for completely stand-alone operation. The deployment of this technology has facilitated significant growth in state surveillance,
276-535: A patent for the design of a CCTV-based home security system in 1969. ( U.S. patent 3,482,037 ). Another early appearance was in 1973 in Times Square in New York City . The NYPD installed it to deter crime in the area; however, crime rates did not appear to drop much due to the cameras. Nevertheless, during the 1980s video surveillance began to spread across the country specifically targeting public areas. It
322-508: A publicly owned CCTV network of over 3000 Pan-Tilt-Zoom cameras covering the British motorway and trunk road network. These cameras are primarily used to monitor traffic conditions and are not used as speed cameras . With the addition of fixed cameras for the active traffic management system, the number of cameras on the Highways England's CCTV network is likely to increase significantly over
368-660: A recreation club named the Railway Institute built by the British adjacent to the station in 1888 to serve as a venue for the social life of the Railways' employees, and a cast iron mechanical pump set that was imported from England to pump water into steam locomotives. The 125th anniversary of the station was celebrated on 2 January 2013. It has been ranked as "The Cleanest Railway Station of India" in January 2018 . The station has four platforms and two terminals. The first platform has
414-529: A resolution of a hundred lines. Having been commandeered by Kliment Voroshilov , Theremin's CCTV system was demonstrated to Joseph Stalin , Semyon Budyonny , and Sergo Ordzhonikidze , and subsequently installed in the courtyard of the Moscow Kremlin to monitor approaching visitors. Another early CCTV system was installed by Siemens AG at Test Stand VII in Peenemünde , Nazi Germany in 1942, for observing
460-551: A shift toward Internet-based products and systems, and other technological developments. Early CCTV systems were installed in central London by the Metropolitan Police between 1960 and 1965. By 1963, CCTV was being used in Munich to monitor traffic. Closed-circuit television was used as a form of pay-per-view theatre television for sports such as professional boxing and professional wrestling , and from 1964 through 1970,
506-639: A substantial rise in the methods of advanced social monitoring and control, and a host of crime prevention measures throughout the world. An early mechanical CCTV system was developed in June 1927 by Russian physicist Léon Theremin (cf. Television in the Soviet Union ). Originally requested by CTO (the Soviet Council of Labor and Defense ), the system consisted of a manually-operated scanning-transmitting camera and wireless shortwave transmitter and receiver, with

#1733085247018552-458: Is a list of railway stations in India . The railway operations are managed by Indian Railways (IR) in the country. Hyderabad Uttar Pradesh CCTV Closed-circuit television ( CCTV ), also known as video surveillance , is the use of closed-circuit television cameras to transmit a signal to a specific place, on a limited set of monitors. It differs from broadcast television in that
598-442: Is common in many areas around the world. Video surveillance has generated significant debate about balancing its use with individuals' right to privacy even when in public. In industrial plants , CCTV equipment may be used to observe parts of a process from a central control room , especially if the environments observed are dangerous or inaccessible to humans. CCTV systems may operate continuously or only as required to monitor
644-405: Is detected, an alert can be sent to a phone. Criminals may use surveillance cameras to monitor the public. For example, a hidden camera at an ATM can capture people's PINs as they are entered, without their knowledge. The devices are small enough not to be noticed, and are placed where they can monitor the keypad of the machine as people enter their PINs. Images may be transmitted wirelessly to
690-663: Is one of the major railway stations in Kerala with trains connecting the city to other major cities in India. The other railway stations in the city include Ferok , Kallayi Kozhikode South , Vellayil and West Hill . An integrated security system was installed at the station in 2012 featuring baggage scanners, CCTVs and vehicle scanners. The 125th anniversary of the station was celebrated on 2 January 2013. 1898 – Palakkad 1902 – Kochi 1902 – Thrissur 1904 – Kollam 1907 – Kannur 1907 – Kasargod 1918 – Thiruvananthapuram 1958 – Kottayam The railway line to Kozhikode
736-407: Is the largest in terms of passenger revenue in the division. The station has four platforms, two terminals and a total number of six tracks. The first platform has a capacity to accommodate trains with 24 coaches and second & third platform has the capacity to accommodate 20 coaches; and the fourth one has the capacity to accommodate 24 coaches. It has a daily turnout exceeding 25,000 passengers. It
782-499: Is transmitted with a description, allowing detailed monitoring of all actions of the operator. Some systems allow the user to search for a specific event by time of occurrence and text description, and perform statistical evaluation of operator behaviour. This allows the software to predict deviations from the standard workflow and record only anomalous behaviour. In the United States, Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, CCTV
828-399: Is widely regarded by anti-terrorist officers as a fundamental tool in tracking terrorist suspects. Large-scale CCTV installations have played a key part of the defenses against terrorism since the 1970s. Cameras have also been installed on public transport in the hope of deterring crime. A more open question is whether most CCTV is cost-effective. While low-quality domestic kits are cheap,
874-585: Is widely used in schools due to its success in preventing bullying , vandalism , monitoring visitors and maintaining a record of evidence of a crime. There are some restrictions, cameras not being installed in areas where there is a "reasonable expectation of privacy ", such as bathrooms, gym locker areas, and private offices (unless consent by the office occupant is given). Cameras are generally acceptable in hallways, parking lots, front offices where students, employees, and parents come and go, gymnasiums, cafeterias, supply rooms, and classrooms. Some teachers object to
920-485: The Indianapolis 500 automobile race. Boxing telecasts were broadcast live to a select number of venues, mostly theaters, with arenas, stadiums, schools, and convention centers also being less often used venues, where viewers paid for tickets to watch the fight live. The first fight with a closed-circuit telecast was Joe Louis vs. Joe Walcott in 1948. Closed-circuit telecasts peaked in popularity with Muhammad Ali in
966-670: The 1960s and 1970s, with " The Rumble in the Jungle " fight drawing 50 million CCTV viewers worldwide in 1974, and the " Thrilla in Manila " drawing 100 million CCTV viewers worldwide in 1975. In 1985, the WrestleMania I professional wrestling show was seen by over one million viewers with this scheme. As late as 1996, the Julio César Chávez vs. Oscar De La Hoya boxing fight had 750,000 viewers. Although closed-circuit television

#17330852470181012-548: The UK during the 1970s and 1980s, including outdoor CCTV in Bournemouth in 1985, led to several larger trial programs later that decade. The first use by local government was in King's Lynn , Norfolk, in 1987. A 2009 systematic review by researchers from Northeastern University and University of Cambridge used meta-analytic techniques to pool the average effect of CCTV on crime across 41 different studies. The studies included in
1058-421: The actions of workers. Every action is recorded as an information block with subtitles that explain the performed operation. This helps to track the actions of workers, especially when they are making critical financial transactions, such as correcting or cancelling of a sale, withdrawing money, or altering personal information. Actions which an employer may wish to monitor could include: Each of these operations
1104-442: The capability to recognize facial features and moving objects, sending the data automatically to government authorities. However, the widespread tracking of individuals through video surveillance has raised significant privacy issues. CCTV can also be used to help solve crimes. In London alone, six crimes are solved each day on average using CCTV footage. In recent years, the use of body worn video cameras has been introduced for
1150-464: The city include Ferok ( code: FK ), Kallayi Kozhikode South ( code: KUL ), Vellayil railway station ( code: VLL ) and West Hill railway station ( code: WH ). An integrated security system was installed at the station in 2012 featuring baggage scanners, CCTVs and vehicle scanners. The following bank-ATMs are available at the railway station: List of railway stations in India This
1196-703: The criminal. Even lawful surveillance cameras sometimes have their data go into the hands of people who have no legal right to receive it. Theft is a huge concern for many department stores and shopping malls. CCTV helps to protect stores' assets, and ensures the safety of employees and customers. Material collected by surveillance cameras has been used as a tool in post-event forensics to identify tactics, techniques, and perpetrators of terrorist attacks . Furthermore, there are various projects − such as INDECT − that aim to detect suspicious behaviours of individuals and crowds. It has been argued that terrorists will not be deterred by cameras, that terror attacks are not really
1242-434: The effectiveness of CCTV for policing is around uptime of the system; in 2013 City of Philadelphia Auditor found that the $ 15M system was operational only 32% of the time. There is strong anecdotal evidence that CCTV aids in detection and conviction of offenders; for example, UK police forces routinely seek CCTV recordings after crimes. Moreover, CCTV has played a crucial role in tracing the movements of suspects or victims and
1288-440: The feed to a central control center where a producer selects feeds to send to the television monitors that fans can view. CCTV monitors for viewing the event by attendees are often placed in lounges, hallways, and restrooms. In a trial with CCTV cameras, football club fans no longer needed to identify themselves manually, but could pass freely after being authorized by the facial recognition system. Organizations use CCTV to monitor
1334-484: The flow of crowds. In the Philippines, barangay San Antonio used CCTV cameras and artificial intelligence software to detect the formation of crowds during an outbreak of a disease . Security personnel were sent whenever a crowd formed at a particular location in the city. On a driver-only operated train, CCTV cameras may allow the driver to confirm that people are clear of doors before closing them and starting
1380-410: The idea as "a distasteful and a worrying development". In 2013, Oaxaca hired deaf police officers to lip read conversations to uncover criminal conspiracies. In Singapore, since 2012, thousands of CCTV cameras have helped deter loan sharks, nab litterbugs, and stop illegal parking, according to government figures. Russia has implemented a video surveillance system called 'Safe City', which has
1426-530: The installation of cameras. A study of high school students in Israeli schools shows that students' views on CCTV used in school are based on how they think of their teachers, school, and authorities. It also stated that most students do not want CCTV installed inside a classroom. Many homeowners choose to install CCTV systems either inside or outside their own homes, sometimes both. CCTV cameras are an effective deterrent to potential intruders as their use increases

1472-467: The launch of V-2 rockets . In the United States, the first commercial closed-circuit television system became available in 1949 from Remington Rand and designed by CBS Laboratories , called "Vericon". Vericon was advertised as not requiring a government permit, due to the system using cabled connections between camera and monitor rather than over-the-air transmission. The earliest video surveillance systems involved constant monitoring because there
1518-401: The meta-analysis used quasi-experimental evaluation designs that involve before-and-after measures of crime in experimental and control areas. However, several researchers have pointed to methodological problems associated with this research literature. First, researchers have argued that the British car park studies included in the meta-analysis cannot accurately control for the fact that CCTV
1564-516: The next few years. The London congestion charge is enforced by cameras positioned at the boundaries of and inside the congestion charge zone, which automatically read the number plates of vehicles that enter the zone. If the driver does not pay the charge then a fine will be imposed. Similar systems are being developed as a means of locating cars reported stolen. Other surveillance cameras serve as traffic enforcement cameras . In Mecca , CCTV cameras are used for monitoring (and thus managing )
1610-561: The professional installation and maintenance of high definition CCTV is expensive. Gill and Spriggs did a Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) of CCTV in crime prevention that showed little monetary saving with the installation of CCTV as most of the crimes prevented resulted in little monetary loss. Critics however noted that benefits of non-monetary value cannot be captured in a traditional Cost Effectiveness Analysis and were omitted from their study. A 2008 Report by UK Police Chiefs concluded that only 3% of crimes were solved by CCTV. In London,
1656-474: The review found that CCTV reduced crime by 24–28% in public streets and urban subway stations. It also found that CCTV could decrease unruly behaviour in football stadiums and theft in supermarkets/mass merchant stores. However, there was no evidence of CCTV having desirable effects in parking facilities or suburban subway stations. Furthermore, the review indicates that CCTV is more effective in preventing property crimes than in violent crimes. Another question in
1702-526: The risk of identification through the camera footage. If someone scouts through an affluent suburb seeking the easiest house to break into, having an obvious CCTV system, alarm or another security measure, makes the house appear to be a more difficult target so they will likely move on to the next house. Modern CCTV systems can be monitored through mobile phone apps which allows people to view live footage of their house from anywhere they have internet coverage. Some systems provide motion detection so when movement
1748-411: The signal is not openly transmitted, though it may employ point-to-point, point-to-multipoint (P2MP), or mesh wired or wireless links . Even though almost all video cameras fit this definition, the term is most often applied to those used for surveillance in areas that require additional security or ongoing monitoring ( videotelephony is seldom called "CCTV" ). Surveillance of the public using CCTV
1794-475: The subject of the current use of video surveillance and that terrorists might even see it as an extra channel for propaganda and publication of their acts. In Germany calls for extended video surveillance by the country's main political parties, SPD , CDU , and CSU have been dismissed as "little more than a placebo for a subjective feeling of security" by a member of the Left party. About 65% of CCTV cameras in
1840-402: The train. A trial by RET in 2011 with facial recognition cameras mounted on trams made sure that people who were banned from them did not sneak on anyway. Many sporting events in the United States use CCTV inside the venue, either to display on the stadium or arena's scoreboard , or in the concourse or restroom areas to allow fans to view action outside the seating bowl. The cameras send
1886-482: Was gradually replaced by pay-per-view home cable television in the 1980s and 1990s, it is still in use today for most awards shows and other events that are transmitted live to most venues but do not air as such on network television, and later re-edited for broadcast. In September 1968, Olean, New York was the first city in the United States to install CCTV video cameras along its main business street in an effort to fight crime. Marie Van Brittan Brown received

1932-825: Was introduced simultaneously with a range of other security-related measures. Second, some have noted that, in many of the studies, there may be issues with selection bias since the introduction of CCTV was potentially endogenous to previous crime trends. In particular, the estimated effects may be biased if CCTV is introduced in response to crime trends. It has been argued that problems of selection bias and endogeneity can be addressed by stronger research designs such as randomized controlled trials and natural experiments . A 2017 review published in Journal of Scandinavian Studies in Criminology and Crime Prevention compiles seven studies that use such research designs. The studies included in
1978-412: Was no way to record and store information. The development of reel-to-reel media enabled the recording of surveillance footage. These systems required magnetic tapes to be changed manually, which was a time-consuming, expensive and unreliable process, with the operator having to manually thread the tape from the tape reel through the recorder onto a take-up reel. Due to these shortcomings, video surveillance
2024-452: Was not widespread. VCR technology became available in the 1970s, making it easier to record and erase information, and the use of video surveillance became more common. During the 1990s, digital multiplexing was developed, allowing several cameras to record at once, as well as time lapse and motion-only recording. This saved time and money which then led to an increase in the use of CCTV. Recently CCTV technology has been enhanced with
2070-556: Was opened to traffic on 2 January 1888 and at that time was western terminus of the Madras Railway. The first line in Malabar was laid between Chaliyam and Tirur , the former an important port town, back then. With the arrival of the new line to Calicut and its growth as an administrative centre, Chaliyam diminished in significance and the railway line to it was subsequently abandoned. The station houses several vintage fixtures including
2116-670: Was seen as a cheaper way to deter crime compared to increasing the size of the police departments. Some businesses as well, especially those that were prone to theft, began to use video surveillance. From the mid-1990s on, police departments across the country installed an increasing number of cameras in various public spaces including housing projects, schools and public parks. CCTV later became common in banks and stores to discourage theft, by recording evidence of criminal activity. In 1997, 3,100 CCTV systems were installed in public housing and residential areas in New York City. Experiments in
