Marie Van Brittan Brown's 1966 invention is why many of us feel secure at home today. 💡🔒 Her groundbreaking home security system had a camera that could move between four peepholes, showing who’s at the door on a TV monitor. She even added a two-way microphone and a panic button to call the police. Inspired by safety concerns in her Queens neighborhood, Marie's patent (U.S. Patent 3,482,037) laid the foundation for modern security systems and CCTV. Her legacy lives on.
