With inexpensive video cameras that can record 4k images, those images look like they are from a surveillance system that is 20 years old.

I also think the photos may be intentionally "soft" to maybe disguise an actor. There is an arm in the one shot of either an accomplice or someone that may be able to recognize the person. My wife also thinks it may be a woman.
