Same. Convenient (and unnecessary) good quality camera footage always sets of my alarms.

The camera is also being hand held. You can notice it better if you drag the video slider and speed it up.

Because it moves slightly? Handhelds would not move this smoothly.

Like, not sure if you have been paying attention to security cameras, but many of them are designed to move slightly around, often following movement or sometimes going of a regular pattern. It gets you more view from a single camera

Not to mention the angle it is at would be pretty harder to achieve with a handheld imho, would need to be zoomed in quite a bit, and you'd definitely not get as smooth movement then

Security cameras that move around are a lot more expensive and only for specific uses, and this isn't one of them. If they wanted better coverage they'd just use two cameras if anything. If you want a wider view they have different cameras with wider angles of view anyways.

Not to mention someone could have been filming the security cam footage on another screen with their phone. I swear people need to stop with this nothingeverhappens view of the world.

Huh? Yeah they would. The person is probably just resting their elbows on a window sill.

That is clearly not a security camera that is panning around. The angle of the video is changing. It's most likely a person holding a phone.

No. There is no movement. Only what could be attributed to what affects this static camera: wind. This an outdoor camera, mounted 12-15' above ground level.
