Closed Circuit Television

Picture
Closed Circuit Television captures Bond’s race underground to Tiger Tanaka’s underground refuge. And in glorious technicolor.

Although the United States saw its first Closed Circuit Television systems in 1949, it was not developed further, which is obviously a little surprising considering how widespread its usage is today. In the late 1960s, it was still not available commercially. 

In 1973 it was installed in Times Square, New York to help with the battle against crime in the city. As commercially available electronic equipment, the device has not looked back.

Where to Buy? Closed Circuit Television

The fact that Closed Circuit Camera systems can be purchased from such diverse stores as those on the right suggests it is definitely a device that has transcended the 1960s spy era.
