Why do CCTV cameras always have extremely poor resolution?

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

Until something happens, most people just want to see a general view of what’s going on. When something happens then they question the quality. General overview doesn’t give you proper identification quality.

Also most people tend to only check their recordings when they want something, so if they’ve had a harddrive failure or something has failed they don’t find out until it’s too late. Make sure your shit is working every week.
