The weak point is always the network connection. My cameras are PoE backed with a UPS, and the footage is replicated locally and to the cloud, but that replication still requires a network connection (which is also on battery). So, if someone jammed the cell network, cut my wired uplink, and then removed every drive they found, they can successfully prevent me from seeing them. I'll still know that something is happening, I guess? Plus they can always just wear masks.

The real point here is, even if you capture a super-clear 1080p picture of the criminal(s) face, the police mostly won't care. It's just a little security theater that you put on for yourself, and sometimes your insurance company.

That's why you figure out who they are and publish it on social media/other sources.

PimEyes.com is reverse image search using facial recognition. There’s a chance you could identify them using a service like this. I’ve found the names of random people in the backgrounds of my photos this way. It’s a bit hit-or-miss, but when it works, it’s like magic!
