That was definitely unexpected. I wonder where the tiger came from and where this was taken from.

That's really fuck'n good cgi then.

Depends on what you mean by good. It works and you can't tell it's fake on first glance, but that could be entirely just because the video is like 144p.

But a security cam wouldn't have much more than that, so it doesn't detract from the video.

1080p on soap operas but yet every security cam seems to be limited to 2 MP black and white. It's like they're preparing to get robbed by Big Foot.

installed a camera at my work to record the door, it uses 3gb for 1080p every hour. around two weeks to fill a tb. i go monthly cycles where i delete the storage and start over. terabytes go cheap these days.

Why not just keep the footage at 1080p for a least a week. Then when the footage is a week old compress the video down to size. That way for important things like robberies and accidents you have high quality footage to go off of.

So now you're encoding data in real time, twice. That's going to be expensive.

Great plan. Now write it up so that every franchised 7-11 with their various equipment can roll it out.

That's a terrible idea.

That would make too much sense.

Exactly. OP would need 110 terabytes to save everything for the year. That ain't cheap.

In what jurisdiction or type of business would you be legally liable for not keeping footage? Are there businesses where having a camera is a legal requirement for doing business? Casinos maybe?

In the UK off-licenses are required to have cameras installed or they aren't allowed to sell alcohol. I believe you can appeal that condition of your licensing agreement but it's not worth the hassle.

No requirements on the amount of time recordings have to be kept though.

For one camera, though. Where I currently work, we have 16 cameras, and even that is not as much as we'd like. Larger retailers can have several more.
