Closed circuit television became commercially available in the United States in 1949, progressively growing in popularity for surveillance and security applications in both corporate and public spaces. In that time, numerous research studies have shown that the use of surveillance cameras does, in fact, reduce crime. It is no surprise that in the last decade, its use has exploded into the private sector. Over time artificial intelligence has begun taking over, making surveillance easier and less time-consuming for users to pinpoint the data they need.
