Notice
A video camera is a Human electronic motion picture recording device used from the 20th until at least the late 23rd century.
Human usage
- When the USS Voyager was thrown back in time and space to 1996 Earth, a man caught Voyager in low orbit with his video camera during a barbecue. (VOY: "Future's End")
- In 2151, Trip Tucker used a video camera device to take still images on an unknown planet, later named Archer IV. (ENT: "Strange New World")
- In 2266, Scotty installed what appeared to be a video camera aboard the USS Enterprise to record the wedding of Angela Martine and Robert Tomlinson. (TOS: "Balance of Terror")
- In 2293, a journalist covering the maiden voyage of the USS Enterprise-B wore a head-mounted video camera fit with an electric light. (Star Trek Generations)
Parallel Development
Devices seemingly identical in design and purpose were also known to exist on planets other than Earth. In 2268, similar devices were seen on 892-IV. (TOS: "Bread and Circuses"), and film motion picture cameras existed on Ekos. (TOS: "Patterns of Force")
