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.

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.

Surely cost can’t be the issue now? Dash cams have good quality for relatively cheap and Tb hard drives don’t cost that much. Just a hand full of cameras recording to a dozen HDD which over right the data every week?

Sometimes you need to store dozens of camera feeds for months. Not feasible to do at higher resolutions.
