The use of cameras for keeping watch over people, places, events, and all sorts of objects is not particularly new. Camera video surveillance is about as old as the video camera. However, the old analog systems had very notable limitations and had horrendous costs to boot, making them impractical to use today. New kinds of  camera video surveillance  equipment and systems are now available at very affordable prices that promise a whole range of feature that were not present in old types of systems. They can be used discreetly in all sorts of situation where a camera video surveillance system would be useful.
