Added thought: Are they getting some sort of discount from their insurance companies and the insurance industry isn't asking the right questions when granting the discount?

Insurance Agent: Do you have any surveillance camera system at the business location?
Business Owner: Yes.
IA: Ok, you get the discount then.
Code: Select all
IA: Do you have any surveillance camera system at the business location?

IA: And how old is the system?

IA: At what resolution and frame rate does it record?
BO: 320x240 1 fps
IA: Sorry, that's 1960's technology and to get this discount your surveillance system would need to be upgraded so it could at least tell the difference between a Ford Pinto and Boeing 747.
