It looked like there was the reflection of flashing lights at the top of the image, that is why I was wondering.
A house rehabber in Houston had about $2500 worth of brand-new appliances stolen out of a home he was working on. They had just been delivered a that afternoon, were still in the boxes, inside the locked house.
But fear not, he has video of the whole thing, courtesy of Reolink!
Now really, can you tell me anything about this entity? Human? Male? Female?
I guess you can tell the truck is a Toyota Tundra. But the guy walking to the back yard is barely visible.
This shot has this guy barely moving. Not going to get any ID here.
Well to give the Reolink some slack, this guy was actually running to the truck.
Here is the cam mounted way too high:
This is a Reolink WIFI cam with a solar panel to power it.

Here is another one. No idea where it is from.

Arsonists set fire to business and themselves
Surveillance video catches two men setting fire to an immigration services building in Bakersfield. The video shows the two men catching on fire themselves after starting the fire. Two different cameras caught the incident. Firefighters arrived moments later and extinguished the fire, limiting...
Here is a capture from a Vivint wifi camera. Base price for this system is $45 per month.
Notice how because of movement the image is pixelated and gets nowhere near the claimed resolution. Can you ID the person.
Love this from their webpage. Looks like a total fail....

Oh here is a good one from a wifi cam. Here was the posting:
"I have a motion sensor from my house in the car. It went off, but the camera didn't until I hit the panic button on my key remote."
This is another reason why consumer grade/cloud based systems fail - they only record on motion and usually miss it.
Now on to the great captures as his panic button triggered the lights and horn on the car and the exposure was so messed up. And then even if that was not an issue, the wifi couldn't keep up with the motion so it is poor quality, camera too high, and too wide a view.

Eufy wifi to the rescue. Can you identify her?
Camera too high and resolution too poor as the wifi cannot keep up. You know it is bad when their eufy security looks horrible.
Doorbell cam not much better

I always snicker whenever someone posts video on NextDoor and someone else replies with "Great video!" What do others think of this video? Anyone else notice that most people on NextDoor can't even figure out how to post the native video and always end up posting a screen record from their phone?
The post: A neighbor (Lindsey) reported a suspicious person in a hooded sweatshirt walking past their house with a "large white object" in their hand. They suspected they were casing the area and perhaps looking to steal from their neighbor's car (speculation).
Update: It turns out that it was just another neighbor on a morning walk with their flashlight and walking stick. They were walking in the street because the sidewalk is uneven in this area. And the hooded sweatshirt? It's winter, right?

These are Vivint shots of a DoorDash person dropping off food. Plenty of light, but lots of motion blur. Good thing this was not a perp up to no-good.
^^ lots of motion blur because she's moving...LOL -- but you can really see the detail in the wood-grain finish on that siding, so it's all good.
^^^ I know! I laugh so much at posts on NextDoor when people post a shot with no people in it and say what a great cam they have. Even here on IPCAMTALK folks post shots with nobody in it. I do not care how nice the street looks or the flowers look or the blades of grass look. Show me a human in the shot. Those are really the ones that these cams are supposed to be optimized for. Maybe also cars and their plates.

Courtesy of Ring wifi, here is a middle of the day shoot out of two kids shooting at the homeowner's pet.
This is about as bad as I have seen. Look how poor the resolution is and it doubled the kids (there were two and for a moment shows 3.25 kids LOL) as the wifi struggled to keep up
Here you can tell that the kid in the light clothing is within 10 feet (but probably within 7 feet) of the camera and the image is basically useless.

A nighttime bust the door in by two perps.
But Mama said knock you out and the homeowners fought back. Husband got hit on the head and needed stitches and his wife got a busted lip and a hurt foot, but they were able to keep the perps pinned down until the police came. A man and woman were the perps.

Not sure if this belongs here or in the other thread, but this came across my Facebook.
Eufy to the rescue. Who can identify this guy checking for unlocked doors?
Sad thing is the OP said these are wired cameras....
