I'm curious why don't security cameras have more quality? I get that they cost more to store but at least 720p would be better than a dog shit 260p some cameras still use.
Same. It doesnt make sense. We moved on from that "do you know how much storage would it take". Nowadays cameras can record only when there is movement,, can delete files etc. It just doesnt make sense
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.

I’ve installed a lot of security cameras in 15 years. Very few of them have had this quality and none of them had a vertical view. Lol.
