Is a CCTV system a mechanical information security device?

Question

Information Security

Is the video surveillance system a mechanical device to ensure information security

Answer 1

My IMHO - a video surveillance system is an electronic, optical-mechanical device or system for increasing the level of security or other problems associated with the need for visual monitoring of situations.
Definitely not purely mechanical. And definitely not "information security". She doesn't belong here at all.
And what, at the exam they blurted out "mechanical" and "for information security" - and the teacher was dissatisfied?

Answer 2

First, define the term "mechanical device". If "mechanical - not biological" - yes. If "mechanical - not electronic" - no.
