Video surveillance cameras have grown from a simple security measure, say at a bank or convenience store, to a multimillion dollar market that encompasses many
types of security and monitoring: from
law enforcement to research to retail security.
Technological developments in video surveillance cameras, such as infrared technology and video analytics, have made them an inevitable part of keeping a store or home safe. Security cameras and video surveillance have become an integral part of many
law enforcement operations - many states, counties and cities have placed video surveillance cameras on the dashboards of their police cruisers. These cameras have provided valuable evidence in the prosecution of criminals and also serve to protect the rights of citizens during traffic stops and arrests.
