The first security cameras used in the US were installed in the 1940s. These early systems were mostly surveillance-based and used for keeping an eye out for suspicious activity rather than as a deterrent. By the 1970s, CCTV systems had become more commonplace, and are now found in many businesses, public areas, and private homes.
