In this context, they are inefficient. Instead, they are favored by businesses and the police. Footage is <a href=\"https:\/\/alfred.camera\/blog\/dvr-vs-nvr\/\">stored on a digital video recorder (DVR)<\/a> and viewed on a dedicated monitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-919509f7494416cb9d10518068815c41\"><strong><strong>How does CCTV work without Wi-Fi?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-84740144d142879057c7cfb85693109b\">CCTV cameras are closed-circuit.
