[Q™]

Whatever happened to the IR capable cameras? You're guarding 1-billion dollar collection and this is your night-vision capability? ...

(One must "watch this video on YouTube")

No kidding. Would have gotten better video from an Arlo system.

I don't think it would have helped though.

It looks like it was recorded with a motorola razr.

Das ist nicht gut, es ist beschissen!

Saw this on the news last night, unbelievable. Looked like they had bars on the windows that were installed in the 1800's. I'm sure that was hard to cut through all the rust.

Perhaps the police should start by investigating the security company.

Problems or issues in the video:

• Video's resolution is less than or is 480i
• Video is interlaced (Because it's either a VCR or old analog DVR system)
• No low light or IR cameras. The least they could do is install some security lights
• Worst camera angle EVER!
• More than I don't even want to get into.

This makes me sick knowing that people can get away with this shit so easily because the only thing protecting stuff that costs millions or billions of dollars is a camera with the sensor that is worse than my optical mouse.

Correction:
More that I don't even want to get into.
