surveilance cameras in basketball stadiums
Perhaps we get the kids to wear a bag on their head with eyes cut out.
We could assist the refs by putting numbers on the bags and record each foul on it.


if you dunk on Lebron in that gym the footage is the property of him and Nike kthanxbye

The resolution of those cameras would not be sufficient to scout teams.
Do the sums peoples. How many cameras are we talking about? Lets say half a dozen. So, you either have a single screen with six images that you can just make out people, or you have six individual tape machines running (assuming that they actually record to tape, not HDD)
Most firms running video security have a seven tape system, one per day. After a few months of recording and re-recording the scratchy images aren't worth it.
So, using the best case scenario, one camera per court which is only on for the games. Even if they recorded to a HDD for just the games. Let's assume that 1 hr chews up 500 MB, Four courts at say 12 hrs/week each = 48 hrs of footage = 48 x 500 MB = 24 GB of data per week.
That's a lot of video to record to a hard drive, manage, watch and store.

Perhaps they are there to save NG and other State selectors from leaving his office at SASI?

Who says the cameras are even on?
You'll be surprised at the number of security cameras that are there for decoration.
