The first video cameras were invented in the 1930s by John Logie Baird. In the 1940s, video cameras based on the cathode ray tube (CRT) were invented and remained in popular use until the 1980s when more advanced cameras were invented. Modern cameras use an image sensor which turns the image into electrical signals.

Though similar technologies date back to the 1920s, video cameras themselves were invented in 1951. Of course, film cameras date back to the late 19th century - that's what the first movies were shot with, and it was not until the 1970s that film was overtaken by the ease of video cameras.
