So much technical debate….

Security cameras are made incredibly cheaply.

Nothing to do with the video or quality or file sizes, they are the cheapest sensors that meet the resolution requirements. Even if that resolution is fake.

Why?

Because having cameras is more important than the output. This is why you can buy entire fake cameras with no sensors or output.

The value is deterrence not evidence.
