Numb-nuts 1 Posted May 6, 2015 CCTV is an acronym for Closed Circuit TeleVision Acronym is a word made from the first letters of a phrase or group of words, almost a word in itself. Acronyme en francais Sigle composé des initiales ou des premières lettres d’une désignation et qui se prononce comme un seul mot. BBC NHS HMS UK GB and so on... So in France and French speaking countries it's called Videosurveillance is that right? In English we call a Enregistreur de surveillance 'DVR' for short ( we are fond of acronyms) Digital Video Recorder (but actually it is much more than just record as the French description indicates. And we call Pan Tilt and Zoom cameras PTZ again another acronym. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
