For one thing, this doesn't cost a dime.
Yes it does. What crazy makes you think any of this was free?
Okay, it does say "commercial software." How much do you think that could possibly cost? Anywhere near as much as a private investigator would?
You wanna guess how much I spent for a small 250 person company on just log storage? Don't include labor, just the storage.
It's very expensive. Way more than hiring a guy for $300 an hour.
Is that relevant? Tracking people coming in and out of a building doesn't require the same amount of storage as a 250-person company or anywhere near it. You could probably store it all on a 1 TB drive. It's not like these are 8k images.
