In the 1920s, American engineer, Philo Taylor Farnsworth devised the television camera, an image dissector, which converted the image captured into an electrical signal. The first camcorder patent was issued to the prolific American inventor Jerome Lemelson in 1980. Lemelson, who passed away in 1997, had tried to patent the idea for a camcorder in 1977, but the U.S. Patent Office rejected him, claiming the idea was too far-fetched and that no company could ever be able to manufacture and sell the device. Charles Ginsburg led the research team at Ampex Corporation in developing the first practical videotape recorder (VTR). In 1951, the first video tape recorder (VTR) captured live images from television cameras by converting the information into electrical impulses and saving the information onto magnetic tape. Ampex sold the first VTR for $50,000 in 1956.The first VCassetteR or VCR were sold by Sony in 1971.

G'day Anonymous, Thank you for your question. The first form of the video camera was developed in the 1930s by John Logie Baird and used in the first television broadcast by the BBC in 1936. Videotape recording started in 1956. The first video cameras for home consumers were put on the market in 1985. I have attached sources for your reference.
