CCTV is classified as a monitoring control because its cameras continuously watch and electronically record activity within a protected area. Live feeds let security staff detect suspicious behavior as it happens, and stored footage supplies visual evidence for later investigation or prosecution. By itself, CCTV does not grant or deny entry (that is done by locks or authentication devices), enforce network policies, or verify biometric traits; instead, it provides real-time observation and historical documentation of physical events.
