surveillance cameras
Security recording devices
Surveillance cameras are video cameras used to monitor and record activity in a space, typically for security purposes.
They appear in stores, banks, parking lots, and public streets, and increasingly in private homes.
The footage may be watched in real time or reviewed later: The robbery was caught on surveillance cameras.
The term often carries overtones of privacy concerns and state overreach.
