they just invest in low quality. mainly because they are old.
typical analog cameras record in 352 x 240 /704 x 480 resolution

common hd surveillance these days are 1280x1024 /1600x1200.. but they are fairly pricey. they add up in a store.

Its Sweden what do you expect. Tell those robbers to try that anywhere in America where security is like impossible to crack.

^ Not really, many banks do. What's stupid is they didn't put any sensors on the glass or invisible laser beams.

This is what you get when you use IKEA stuff at a cash depot.

Don't get me wrong. The thieves did a wonderful job, but the cash depot helped them out a lot. Security, like the cameras, needs to be upgraded.

As a side note, it sounds like this robbery took place last year. Ten people have been charged and a trial date has been set. As for the money, most of it has not been found.
