Scientists have made great inventions in various fields of human life, such as industry, agriculture, or medicine. Each of them has undoubtedly made some impact, to a greater or lesser extent, on human generation. One of the inventions that have brought profound changes to the world of photography was the invention of daguerreotype camera. A camera refers to a piece of equipment, which records, stores and can transmit pictures to a given setting. The images can be either static or mobile. Over the years, scientists created cameras that are more sophisticated in order to satisfy the need for better images. Photographic cameras evolved during the primordial Chinese and Greek civilizations. They used a pinhole to cast pictures on a screening surface. Prior to the discovery of photographic procedures, there was lack of viable mechanisms to store or make pictures durable. The initial cameras were huge and could cover an entire room; however, technological advancements have led to significant reduction of the size and shape of cameras. Zhan was probably the first individual to create a compact and portable camera in 1685. In the following paper, the invention of daguerreotypes or the old camera will be discussed. Overall, the work on the daguerreotypes began in 1727, when Schulze introduced his important innovations into photography; it continued in the beginning of the 1800s, when the rudimentary camera obscura was created and actively used; its triumph occurred in 1837, when Daguerre managed to create a camera that became the main prototype of the daguerreotypes, and in 1839, when Daguerre officially demonstrated his achievements to members of the French Academy of Science; it continued after 1839 until 1850, when numerous corrections and improvements were introduced to advance its characteristics; and it ended in the 1850, when inventors developed versions of the daguerreotypes, still known nowadays and stopped there because they found a number of downsides of the daguerreotypes. (The argument begins; this section discusses the first steps, leading to creating the daguerreotype) Speaking about the invention of the daguerreotype camera, it is important to note that modern picture making activities started in 1727 because of Johann Heinrich Schulze innovations in photography. Schulze noticed that silver nitrate was sensitive to light. In around 1813, Nicephore who attempted to create a camera photograph, made another remarkable development. He made this discovery in response to the surging demand for reliable and economical ways of creating pictures. Nicephore used a sliding box camera made of wood in 1826. Nonetheless, it was not until 1826, when Nicephore developed a durable camera photograph. He used bitumen to cover a pewter plate and exposed it to the camera. The bitumen solidified the sections of the plate, which light struck. This picture has remained intact until present. During the same period, the camera obscura was in common usage before the daguerreotype model. Camera obscura is a visual machine, which projects pictures close to it on a screen. It mainly assisted in leisure activities. The inventor of this device mounted it inside a box with a sizeable opening on one surface. “Light from an external scene
