And many of the convience stores, too. The only thing I can think of is that they use slow speed tape recorders and they probably have re-used the tape past it's useful life.
follow up question, in this day , who still uses tape? :mrgreen:
Just because it isn't "digital" doesn't make it useless or obsolete. There are probably many units that people haven't replaced or upgraded. Tape is probably still the cheapest option. Also, you don't need good quality video until you get robbed. ;-)

Houston Police Seek Purple-Shirted Bank Robber

A man walked into the bank, approached a teller and handed her a note that demanded money and also threatened her life. He then lifted his shirt to show her a silver, semi-automatic handgun stuffed into the waist band of his pants. The teller gave the man some money. He was last seen walking away from the bank.
