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

High resolution video is not linear in terms of data storage. 2x the resolution is 4x the storage. Useful security video is almost always stitched from multiple POVs. How many angles do you need to cover any possible position for a crime to happen? A lot! Every new angle and each increment better resolution results in HUGE storage requirements. None of this video generates income for the business, 99% of it is never even reviewed. It’s simply not worth the capital expense to have every inch of store in detail monitored for petty crimes. Even then, you’d pay someone to watch the video, report crime, hire a lawyer to prosecute, wait months for legal system to work its process and finally be compensated back the original amount. Insurance covers any large loss events which is more affordable and easier to be compensated than prosecuting individuals.
So ultimately, taking a loss on a small fraction of lentils revenue from theft is actually the more cost-effective model than preventing 100% of thefts
