15 years ago I worked interfacing camera systems to computers for security applications, for sensitive installations like nuclear power plants, in those days the cameras cost thousands, today with the cameras being tiny and costing pence, they are everywhere. We have 2 in the shop running back to a tv/recorder, total cost £150.

You're right the motivation is not to prevent crime, but to record it, for ease of conviction later.
