• It’s 2025 and these banks can’t put better cameras in? - Brandon L.
• Pretty good camera if you ask me. I can tell it’s 3:27 on the clock. Not many pictures show that good detail - Becky W.
• There is a logo on his left chest of the hoodie. Possibly a Puma or Nike logo. The entry photo is so washed out you can't see it until at the cash station. - Pam B.
