This makes me laugh. Were expected to put our hard earned money into the bank. The protect it with nothing.........they count on the government to bail out any robberies. I have far better cameras protecting my property than the bank does, thats just wrong.

I like the way that convenience stores have better camera's than banking facilities do. This just proves that the banks are really not that interested in finding the perp because they know that they will get their money back from insurance. All this does is to allow the bank to say that they have camera's.

Has the banking businesses ever heard of GoPro?

I have said it many times recently: These banks should not publicize their video systems. The quality of the pics are so pathetic, it tempts me to become a bank robber (kidding)!

It you are a customer of that bank, you may want to offer to buy them a couple of cameras. It could help to protect your money.
