Information storage, according to psycho cybernetics author Paul Thomas, has to take place at the unconscious level. Less psycho– and more cyberfocused, Thomas has – unconsciously, no doubt – managed to get security video storage right, too.
Back in the day, storage came in just one flavor: VHS cassettes during what was then labeled the analog videotape wars. A security video breakthrough at the time was the time-lapse VCR. By the way, you can still buy some used time-lapse analog recorders for about fifty bucks. Good door stops.
