What is "closed-circuit television"?

Closed-circuit television (CCTV) is a system of video cameras used to monitor and record specific areas for security and surveillance purposes. Unlike broadcast television, CCTV transmits video signals to a limited set of monitors, usually within the same building or network, allowing only authorized viewers to see the footage. CCTV is commonly used in places like businesses, public spaces, and homes to deter crime, monitor activities, and enhance safety by providing real-time observation and recording of events.

What is a "kiosk"?

A kiosk is a small, stand-alone structure used for selling goods, providing information, or offering services. It is often found in busy areas like shopping malls, airports, or parks. Kiosks can be designed for various purposes, such as food stands, ticket sales, or digital information points. They are usually compact and easy to set up or move. Kiosks can be operated by a single person and are often used to offer convenience or quick service to people on the go.

What is "promotion"?

Promotion is a marketing activity aimed at increasing awareness of a product, service, or brand to encourage customer interest and boost sales. It involves strategies such as discounts, special offers, advertisements, and public events. Promotions can be short-term or long-term, and are often used to attract new customers, reward loyal ones, or encourage immediate purchases. By creating a sense of urgency or added value, promotions help businesses stand out in a competitive market and drive consumer behavior. The goal is to effectively communicate the benefits of the product and make it more appealing to potential buyers.
