Vendors of Closed Circuit Television Systems

The most popular technical aid for the blind is the closed circuit television system. These are easy systems to produce. In the most basic form, they are a small television camera with modest controls connected to a television set. These devices can acheive very high magnification. They are also very intuitive to operate.

There are many kinds of systems: most use normal television monitors, some use small, portable LCD screens, some interconnect with a computer, and some are mounted on the user.
