Marie Van Brittan Brown - Women in STEM

Marie Van Britton Brown, along with her husband Albert, invented the first closed-circuit television security system. This innovation was driven by their need for safety due to their work schedules and living in a high-crime area. The system used cameras, monitors, a two-way peephole, microphones, and a remote lock. Their patent, filed in 1966 and granted in 1969, laid the foundation for modern home security systems.
