surveillance technology
Electronic observation tools
Surveillance technology refers to tools and systems designed to monitor, track, or record people's activities, communications, or movements.
This includes cameras, facial recognition software, phone tracking, internet monitoring, and data collection systems.
The term often carries connotations of privacy invasion or state control: Critics warned that surveillance technology was expanding faster than laws could regulate it.
In security contexts, it's presented neutrally; in civil liberties discussions, it's usually a concern.
