CCTV cameras are classified as Detective controls because they record activity and allow security teams to detect and investigate incidents. They are also commonly classified as Deterrent controls (D) because visible cameras discourage would-be attackers. They can even be considered a weak form of Preventive (A) due to deterrence.
