A video camera in 1973? What kind of video camera would that be?

From an article about cctv:

“The first public service CCTV systems in the United States were installed in 1968, in Olean, NY, to monitor crime activity on the local Main Street. This set the precedent for many future installations on other city streets throughout the country.

Reel-to-reel filming allowed CCTV footage to be recorded, but the tapes were hard to change and resulted in a very flawed system. VCR technology was released in the 1970s, improving recorded security footage”

Earlier article I read said there was a
cctv camera which showed this location.
