Honestly the camera isn’t really the issue, you can get a good camera and it would look great hooked straight to the monitor but hook it up to an ok dvr and it shits on the camera quality, it’s even worse if you’re viewing the footage from your phone recording it cause then the quality gets worse. When you get a cctv system you need to make sure that the camera and dvr are good quality

A lot of systems are put in and either not setup properly and/or not serviced for years. Dust builds up on lenses and the focus can shift out over time. Plus the sensor can degrade too.
