6) how long do you think they keep footage for?

Just curious haha
All of the above.
I have seen alot of surveillance footage from shops and if the cops did see them there would be alot of sexual assualt charges. Most of tge times the idiots dont even see them. More times than not they have been used from idiots trying to rob the shops or break ins after hours.

The footage generally last about 3 to 4 days if they are recording 24/7 without cloud back up. For a HD 1080p cameras they will roughly record 4gig per hour per camera.
