The problem is Hik and Dahua are no longer shit, not when all things are considered. Most of the people who fit it seem to be, this is why fixed wide angle lenses are so popular. If you ask the average engineer what back focusing is or BLC or HLC he could not tell you. They also think that 4k is more important than anything else such as FPS. Anyone can install CCTV and make pretty pictures on a screen very few can make good recordings of crimes.

But just like alarms, nobody cares.

Until something happens and the recording is no good

Rarely the DVR tho usually the HDD? But even when it records most people are aware of the ineffectiveness of it for a successful prosecution.

I got good images of someone dumping a stolen car outside my old house, and caught neighbors hitting my car with theirs twice. 

 

At the old shop when those kids smashed our Window 8 years ago we identified them caught them and prosecuted them, all from the CCTV. It can be done. 

At the new business premises we caught a fly tipper who dumped a load of asbestos on the estate, we captured the footage of a bloke getting run over. Pikeys stealing a load of plastic pallets (ANPR) and more recently the catalytic converter thieves ANPR.

 

The fly tipper successfully prosecuted the pikeys could not be traced, nor the cat thieves, vehicles not registered to them. 

 

We have numerous successful CCTV captures for customers 

CCTV set up properly works.
