I can’t think of a reason why other than the cost but surely it’s worth the potential to solve more crime

I install these systems and am seeing alot of mixed answers here.
Companies are cheap.
Cameras are a deterrent not a solution
Insurance is a solution not a deterrent
Insurance requires a minimum deterrent for a discount on premiums.
I install systems that cost $500 to $2 Million. With cameras you get exactly what you pay for. 99% of the time people don’t pay for the storage of an appropriate size and that’s the main issue so they have to sacrifice framerate (amount of pictures taken per second) and/or resolution (how detailed the photo is)
Also to everyone saying the systems are recording 24/7 spoiler almost every modern server based system isn’t. They record via Motion,Analytic Event,Time of day. And newer tech doesnt even save the whole picture just the parts that changed (H.265/H.264) But even still take alot of storage.
To put it in perspective of how MUCH storage I built an array a year ago the saved 400 cameras worth of footage 60 days of motion only storage (avg 10 hours active per day) took 1.5 PetaBytes of storage over 8 servers. Let that sink in for a moment on cost as most server drives for larger recorders are 10TB – 16TB individual drives. That array was 112 16TB drives over $28,000 just in magnetic storage. Not even the hardware they’re mounted in.
