Explanation

CCTV cameras are considered a deterrent to criminal activity. In addition, combined with other sensors, they can detect movement, and thus are considered a detective control. Image recordings provide evidence after the fact. According to the NIST, preventive controls are measures to detect, deter and/or reduce an impact of a system. CCTV cameras are not corrective controls, as they are not deployed to repair detected errors or irregularities (see ISC2 Study Guide, chapter 3, module 2).
