description In recent decades, the link between the images and public safety deepened in unthinkable dimensions. Security policies systematically incorporated closed-circuit television (CCTV) for monitoring public spaces as part of social control and situational crime prevention technologies. As a result of the expansion of videosurveillance, the academic interest in the subject began to grow noticeably, especially in Europe and North America. Latin America, meanwhile, has joined more recently these debates. This paper offers a retrospective of the works that have explored the use of videocameras from different theoretical and methodological perspectives. This reconstruction of the state of the art is organized from aspects of video surveillance that have been privileged: theoretical dialogue with notions such as social control, panopticism and biopolitics; effectiveness in reducing crime; the role of the cameras in delineating cities and social classification; the regulatory framework and the conflict with certain individual rights. The aim is to replace the internal debates that arise from this theme and explain some issues still barely addressed in the field of regional research.

Durante las últimas décadas, la vinculación entre las imágenes y la seguridad pública se profundizó en dimensiones impensadas. Las políticas de seguridad incorporaron sistemáticamente circuitos cerrados de televisión (CCTV) para monitoreo del espacio público entre sus tecnologías para el control social y la prevención situacional del delito. Producto de la expansión de la video-vigilancia, comenzó a crecer notablemente el interés académico por la temática, sobre todo en Europa y América del Norte. América Latina, por su parte, se ha incorporado a estos debates más recientemente. El artículo propone un recorrido por los trabajos que han analizado el uso de cámaras de seguridad desde distintas perspectivas teóricas y metodológicas. Esta reconstrucción del estado del arte se organiza a partir de los aspectos de la video-vigilancia que han sido privilegiados: el diálogo teórico con nociones como el control social, el panoptismo y las biopolíticas; la efectividad en la reducción del delito; el rol en la delimitación de las ciudades y clasificación social; el marco normativo y el conflicto con ciertos derechos individuales. El objetivo es reponer los debates que surgen al interior de este eje temático y dar cuenta de algunas cuestiones aún escasamente abordadas en el ámbito de la investigación regional.
