Cameras
Cameras are optical instruments that record images which can be stored directly, transmitted to another location, or both. These images may be still photographs or moving images such as videos or films.
The term camera comes from camera obscura (Latin for dark chamber), an early mechanism for projecting images. The modern camera evolved from the camera obscura and the functioning of a camera is very similar to the functioning of the human eye.
