Marie started her invention by creating three peepholes

Esurance - When Marie Van Brittan Brown created the first home security  system in 1966, she took her family's security into her own hands … & made  all our families safer in

 

 Marie Van Brittan Brown 

 (October 30, 1922 – February 2, 1999)

 

Invention

Inspired by how long it would take the police to arrive in her neighbourhood, Brown invented the first home security system.[3] Her work hours were not the standard 9am – 5pm, and the crime rate in their Queens, New York City neighborhood was very high.[4] 

 

Marie started her invention by creating three peepholes[4] in the door to provide access for tall and average height people along with her children. The next step was setting up a camera that could adjust from peephole to peephole to allow people inside the house to look outside to see who was there. 

 

 Marie wanted to find a way to view who was outside the house from any room and decided a wireless television system would work best. To do this, she used a radio-controlled wireless system that could stream the video to any television in the house.
