"Which Countries Use PAL, NTSC, or SECAM?"
If you are trying to set up a surveillance system, PAL/NTSC cameras/receivers will work anywhere... as long as they are paired with cameras/receivers that use the same format.
BUT the trouble starts if you're trying to pick up TV signals on a car DVD player or television set which operates on a different color format to the one that is most common in the country you are residing in.
AND you can't put a PAL camera with an NTSC recevier, and vice versa.
