Closed Circuit TV (CCTV), also known as video magnifiers or electronic magnifiers, is an assistive technology designed to help individuals with low vision read printed materials more easily. This accommodation uses a camera to capture text or images and displays them on a screen with adjustable magnification, contrast, and brightness. CCTV devices improve accessibility by enhancing visual clarity for tasks such as reading books, documents, or labels. They are commonly used in educational, workplace, and home settings to support people with visual impairments, promoting independence and productivity.
Place the CCTV device on a stable surface near your reading material. Adjust the magnification and contrast settings to a comfortable level for your vision. Use the screen to view text clearly, moving the material as needed under the camera. Regularly clean the camera lens and screen to maintain image quality. Familiarize yourself with the controls to quickly switch between modes and settings for different types of documents or lighting conditions.
