Cameras are only as good as what you buy and where they are located. I helped my son install 10 cameras at a major book retailer a few years ago. Before we came they had only one working camera at the registers and you could not tell the identity of anyone who was at the regisiters - it had very poor picture quality. Before we installed the new cameras they had 8 fakes in various locations and had an annual product theft loss estimated at $150K in a smaller city outside of NH. Any cameras you see in a store are only a deterent to theft and not an answer to the problem.
