The first closed-circuit television security system invented by Marie Van Brittan Brown

 


Marie Van Brittan Brown

 (October 30, 1922 – February 2, 1999)

 

The invention was essentially the first closed-circuit television security system and is the predecessor to modern home systems today.[7] 

 

 It was the foundation for video monitoring, remote-controlled door locks, push-button alarm triggers, instant messaging to security providers and police, as well as two-way voice communication.[4] 

 

 Brown’s invention has led to the creation of many new home security systems that rely on video systems, remote door locks, and quick emergency response actions.

 

 These systems have become the leading security for homes and small businesses all over the world. The fame of Brown's device also led to the more prevalent CCTV surveillance in public areas.[8]
