Owners of both businesses were not paying attention to the state of their
CCTV equipment that deteriorated over time. The tapes were most likely
written many, many times over, and every time it introduced more and more
distortion.

What they should have done, is to purchase a new DVR-based system that can
be had for less than $500 these days and throw the time-lapse VCRs out of
the window. The single time you actually need to look at the video usually
pays for the entire investment into a good quality cameras and a good DVR.
Thieves are known to be ordered by court to pay business owners for the
CCTV equipment once caught, BTW.
