Types of existing CCTV

In order to turn our footage into what looks like a real CCTV image, I did some research into the way existing CCTV looks. These are the different styles I found...



This CCTV camera clip is in colour, with a green tinge.
It has lettering on it: 'C35' which stands for Camera 35. It also has the date and time



This clip is also in colour, with a ring around the suspect for TV purposes to help the viewer find the person quicker. 
Again, it has the date and time, but due to the larger room than above, the people are smaller which is why a ring was used


This camera is shot at a longer angle than the two above. Again, it is in colour and shoots quite a wide and long area. Like the others, it has the camera number, date and time


This one is a very wide and long shot, in vivid colour.
The suspect is placed in a circle of the image zoomed in, possibly to show viewers a clearer image of his face so he can be found. There is no text on this clip


I really like this way of showing CCTV footage. It is from different angles of the bus on a screen split into 4 sections. It gives a better image of the scene as it can be seen from different corners of the bus. It is also in black and white which I believe is more common for CCTV cameras and makes it look more like one. It also has text at the bottom of each camera image
