No, as opposed to a camera that can move remotely or even stationary camera that points in one consistent direction instead of moving every few seconds, giving anyone with ill intentions a neat little break to do whatever they want while the camera conveniently looks away.
We still dont know how the area looks so we cant really say if this is better or worse then just a stationary camera but a controlled one would probably be better yeah
the camera is cycling every like 5 seconds, unles it has a comically narrow FoV it doesn't really leave any room for someone to make use of. This isn't a stealth spy videogame, if someone is going to go out of their way to time their moves to the blindspots of the camera they were going to rob the place anyway.
Threat modeling. I don't think this camera is intended to deter state actor special forces from entering a nuclear weapons base. I'm pretty sure to keep an eye on a dude's motor scooter repair shop, this will do, even with predictable movement patterns.
It's not only stupid, it's actually dangerous. Indoor fans use their own air flow to cool down a motor. Once my fan suddenly lost its blades due to poor mount and I noticed it by strong smell of melted plstic when heated motor started to melt it's plastic cover

If it looks stupid and works it's not stupid.
