Video cameras are categorized as which type of device?

Video cameras are categorized primarily as input devices. This is because they capture and convert visual data into a digital format that can be processed, stored, or transmitted. The primary function of a video camera is to record images and sound, allowing this data to be inputted into a computer system or other devices for further use, such as editing or broadcasting.

While video cameras may have some features that allow them to play back recorded content (which could be perceived as an output function), their main role in most contexts is to serve as a tool for inputting visual information. This distinguishes them from output devices, which are designed primarily to convey data processed by a computer, like monitors or printers, and storage devices, which are meant for saving data.
