Doesn't matter. Even doing the ones that are networked would be a big improvement.

But you can put every neighboring building on the internet with their security cameras? It's not like you need hires or high frame rates to detect large moving blobs, count them, and estimate their speed & distance.
The problem is, the city has no incentive to do this, as the cost falls on other people.
