A design concept study for the development of Cerenkov monitoring devices based upon Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) technology is presented. The study provides a description of the technology and the features which characterize the performance of specific devices. Capabilities of commercially-available CCD systems are reviewed and tradeoffs between the various system attributes are examined for two different monitoring scenarios: one in which the device is designed to be transportable for use by a visiting inspector; and one in which the device is mounted in the ceiling, or other fixed position, and the data is transmitted to off-site locations for evaluation
