This widespread issue can undermine the very purpose of surveillance by making it difficult to identify individuals and details during critical moments.  This article explores the various factors that contribute to this problem, including technical limitations, economic decisions, and the overarching design choices that influence the quality of the footage recorded by security cameras. Inherent Limitations of Camera Sensors The heart of any camera, including those used for security purposes, is its sensor. This component is responsible for converting light into electronic signals, which are then processed to form images.  Security cameras typically use two types of sensors: Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) and Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS). CCD sensors, once popular in ...
