Surveillance cameras are typically bought and then forgotten. So the new ones are probably HD, but you get a collection of cameras between HD and Betamax if you look at the cameras that are actually in use.

And for outdoor cameras, how often do the lenses get cleaned? I'd think that in a city center, with lots of car exhaust, etc. they'd be pretty dusty/greasy in just a few months. HD won't help much if there's a film of diesel exhaust soot on the lens.
