Edit gotta love the downtoots for providing insight into how cameras work. 😆

Not casting doubt on the picture comparison. Simply providing data that may help arrive at a conclusion.

A digital video camera or photo camera takes the optical image and digitizes it in the form of pixels. Pixels are square. If a pixel is 75% white and 25% black it will fill that pixel in white entirely distorting the original optical image. Its simply a function of a single square pixels inability to display multiple colors at the same time. A pixel can only display a single color.

In doing so it may also translate a similar color to another color. For instance a small amount of yellow may translate to white. Where a single pixel of yellow/white may touch an original white pixel adjacent to it making it look like all pixels are displaying an original swath of white. In reality there would be a clear destinction of white to yellow but when optical is digitized that destinction is removed.

Better cameras will have smaller and more numerous pixels (resolutuion) and a destinction may be obvious but security cameras are notorious for having poor resolution therefore causing distortion.
