What’s the purpose of a “security camera” that reduces everything to a smeary blur? If you can’t tell a burglar from Bigfoot, seems a bit useless.

Lossy compression in low light is a recipe for some strange effects. On our system, some rabbits seem to elongate to four times their length at a hop – they look like Slinkys.

Is it a stuttering video that causes scurrying rodents to look like they’re taking steps, or is two little small men carrying briefcases? We’ll probably never know.
Meanwhile, that was definitely a man in a bear suit.
I was too preoccupied tracking the basketball, to notice.
