• CCTV Access provides high-quality video connectivity for up to eight video channels over each circuit. It includes two-way audio so operators can communicate with people at camera locations – for example, talking to people near the camera. 
• For most circuits, the A-end will be at the control room and the B-end will be at the remote CCTV camera. But you can also have the B-end in the control room. 
• The phase alternate line (PAL) encoded video signals from the cameras can be transported in uncompressed (analogue) or compressed (digital) format. If you use digital, then you’ll also need to consider signal latency, signal regeneration and integration into a larger network. 
• We provide remote telemetry for service monitoring.

You can’t use this product to connect:

• your customers’ sites, or to another communications provider
• from a customer site to an exchange point of presence (PoP).
