The Typical picture of a Perp on Nextdoor-type Apps with Consumer Grade Cameras like Ring, Nest, Arlo, Canary, Wyze, etc.

Ring video shows woman shot, killed in cold blood confronting auto burglars
The headline is from an East Texas newspaper where the camera captured the shooting of a lady of 39 years by a 21 year old male. Other sources provided fairly decent photos of the guy captured on the Ring camera. He was arrested after being turned in to the police by his mother.
 
Thanks to the magic of wifi cloud based cameras only recording on motion, this camera completely missed this package thief in the middle of the day until she turned around and this is the first frame captured:

That image looks like an oil painting.

Is it a cost issue or a size issue that keeps them from putting a little bit of onboard storage in the cameras? You can still stream live. The storage can act as a buffer to help with bad or slow connections.

Both cost and size issue .. and less quality competition and uneducated or uncaring customers
