I agree with the article, for city sized projects CCTV lacks a bunch. It's just too many square feet to be realistic. Traffic cams, weather cams and stoplight cams is about as far as realy useful goes.

They caught the guy regardless of the quality of the video. Ive got evidence with even worse quality, and the farther the object from the camera, megapixel or not, the worse the quality will be. Trust, MegaPixel will not be the solution .. it will help some .. but with it come its own problems.
PS. Cheap Camera, Dirty also.

Certainly CCTV seems to be most effective when deployed at the precise locations were crimes are most likely to happen rather than trying to cover whole city blocks.
If the numerous corner shop robberies here weren't almost always caught on video they wouldn't get any air time on TV.

Its funny to watch that and hear the woman's opinions of the CCTV. Its like hearing every other client I installed cameras for in the past 10 years. They just watch to many movies. I thought the video was pretty could considering where the cameras was placed. I think megapixel cameras will help and It is the way of the future. Its the quality of the install, equipment and a bit of luck that the perpetrator is an idiot that catches the bad guy.
Talking about camera quality, I helped the FBI with a case in NY by copying footage caught on a DVMRe onto a CD. The camera was a box type pelco over 500 lines, facing a glass entrance. The video showed the the bad guy a cross the street with a gym bag that allegedly had body parts in it. No joke. It placed the guy on the same block as the crime and of course time and date. Heard it was enough to put him away. CCTV works megapixel or not!
