From country to country, from business to home, the camera system has come a long way in almost 100 years. First we have military origins of the devices by Léon Theremin a Russian scientist in 1927. Then a patent for a home security system was granted to Marie Van Brittan Brown and her husband Albert who invented the modern video security system in the United States in 1969. With cameras everywhere in 2023, let’s follow along via a timeline as to how the evolution of camera systems began.

When we think about business solutions and the timeline of each different technology and the journey it went on to get to where it’s at today, camera systems are no different. To originally only being available to the military to now on the side of almost all businesses, banks, and your cities most traveled freeway, you can anticipate being on camera if you leave the house. In a future blog we’ll talk about camera systems and if they make you feel safe, but for now, let’s focus on the importance of the invention and the ride it’s taken to be the technology it is today.
Camera systems began as a way for users to watch their property. Either focused on military supplies, your business or home, the camera was there for you to observe. As time progressed and so did technology, the ability to watch and record transformed camera systems. Videocassette Recorders (VCRs) made a previously very expensive investment available to the mainstream and allowed for camera systems to continue to pop up. From a 2-hour VHS tape to a 12 hour VHS tape, we’ve gone even further by recording onto hard drives and in some cases direct to the cloud. No need for clunky VHS machines, watch your security coverage from the comfort of your smartphone.
Depending on how advanced your needs are for your camera systems, the possibilities are becoming endless. Stay on top of your game and let us help you ensure you’ve got the right camera system installed.
