    • Those cameras are traffic control units. They feed real time information into the controller for the traffic lights at the intersection. There isn’t any storage.

      Do the math sometime and figure out how much storage would be required to hold info from every traffic control camera at every traffic light…even if you just wanted to hold twenty four hours worth of video from each one.

  4. One more Lancaster and Palmdale hit and run by a sanctuary City person and you can bet 9 out of 10 that’s what it was
