Public view monitors (PVM) are units that contain a built-in camera that is pointed in the direction the monitor faces. This allows customers to see themselves on the monitor. Public view is a unique way of informing the general public that a surveillance system is in place. A public view monitor can be broken down into two basic elements: monitor and camera. Typically, public view monitors are installed at the entryway of the store, but they can also be deployed throughout the store at high-theft areas such as jewelry or electronics departments.

The deployment of public view monitors throughout a store, reminds the public in a subtle way that a system is in place and is working. Public view monitors have an immediate effect. The active moving screen attracts the eye’s attention and therefore becomes a part of your thoughts. That thought is the presence of surveillance, making a potential thief think twice about stealing in such a high profile place. Ideal for retail environments, public transportation or schools. Low voltage operation makes the public view monitors great for existing location were it is difficult or expensive to run high voltage power lines.
