If you've ever had a crime committed against you in London you'll know just how useless the CCTV can be. The quality is often so bad you can't really get anything useful from it, and in many cases the camera isn't even on/working/recording to anything.
I had my bike nicked a few weeks ago in London. Turns out the council installed new HD/4K cameras that very morning right where I left it - they managed to ID and arrest the perp, and charge him with multiple other thefts too.
So it looks like the crappy cctv is getting an upgrade
