CCTV (Closed Circuit Television)

A CCTV is a closed circuit television that people with low vision can use to do course work, read recipes, write notes, do craft and hobbies, look at photos or read a book.

There are many different kinds of CCTVs on the market and they range in price from $2000 to $5,000. The price depends on the features you get and the size of the monitor. Generally, colour is more expensive than black and white and a large monitor is more expensive than a small monitor.

Some of the features to look for are:

• Margin stops - for reading columns
• Inverse video - lets you change the view so you have white letters on a black background
• Auto focus – Automatically focuses the page when you switch between thick and thin reading material
• Colour select – This feature lets you choose the colour for the foreground and background when using the CCTV. This makes it easier on your eyes.
• Underline and Highlight – gives an electronic underline or a line of highlighted text that makes it easier to follow along.
