    It’s weird. Phones have like 50 megapixel sensors that can photograph the hairs on a fly’s leg, yet somehow all the CCTV from anything like this is always “we think it’s a person, probably”.

      CCTV writes at low resolution to reduce storage cost and improve reliability. Even if you only hold a few days of footage on rotation, rotating bigger files with cause substantially more wear on the drives. Phone videos have smaller field of views, too.
