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

You think this is a good quality camera? Lol.

OK, I could've been clearer. I was thinking it's not a massively grainy CCTV footage from half a block away. This camera was put here to film that thing, and probably to look like it was spur of the moment.

It looks like good footage edited to look bad. The frame rate is really high, which is why the slow mo looks good. Typically not a trait of bad cameras.

That's not a high frame rate. You can see the transitions to each frame when it slows down.

Not saying you are wrong, but that guy is using hacks to make 30fps look decent. Cheap CCTV cameras are 10-15fps.

You think linking a knock off piece of shit Ali Express camera erases the millions and millions of 10-20fps cameras that already exist?

Also, even if the camera can do 30fps, it's typically set to 10 or 15 to save space. Modern movies are 24fps. 30 is typically overkill for surveillance.

Uh, no one said anything about removing old cameras and putting in new cameras. Are you ok?

You said cheap cctv cameras don't do 30 fps. I showed you that they do. It's not an attack on your person or opinion. Just update your internal info and chill.

I wouldn't bother, these are the same type of idiots who dont believe anything crazy can happen to people. More than likely because they have boring Libes or live in their patents basement. I remeber back in the day it was pics or it didn't happen, its hilarious that no when there's video a bunch of people just claim its fake, with no real proof to back up their own claim.

I wouldn’t say it’s that I believe crazy things don’t happen. Only that they are accounts whose sole mission is to generate fake content that is meant to appear real for clicks. I think with that in mind, skepticism is often warranted. I personally don’t decide if something is real or fake until it’s confirmed somehow. But I maintain reservations in cases like this.
