The first video cameras were produced in the 1920s in support of the early television systems. John Logie Baird built a camera as part of his television system demonstrated in 1925. Philo Farnsworth made a fully electronic camera that was demonstrated in 1929. The video camera, or television camera, is a fundamental part of television so cameras have been around for as long as television has existed.

Color cameras were developed and trialled in the 1950s and were used commercially in 1954 by RCA when they began successful broadcasting of color television in the US.

The next ambition among developers was to produce a portable, combined camera and recorder. The size of cameras and recorders in the 1950s made it impossible to call any device portable. It took the development of video cassettes to enable a truly portable "camcorder"

They were first developed for television production, especially for news telecasts of on-the-spot events; but they were soon marketed as a family resource-the record keeper of milestones such as weddings and graduations and a baby's first steps. Now video recording has come full circle as amateurs make spur-of-the-moment videos of events ranging from slices of life of their family and friends to major disasters or scandals.

Developments in camera and recording technologies has made the video camera and the camcorder more accessible over four decades. Both size and cost have reduced steadily to the point where they can be included in cell phones and deliver a quality that is similar or better than the first domestic camcorders of the 1970s and early1980s.

The first video recorder was made in 1956 by Ampex. It weighed about 1 ton because of all the vacuum tube electronics, equipment racks and the recorder base. It was of course, a black and white recorder, using 2" wide video tape on open reels and could only record for one hour with helical scan video heads.
