There was testimony that Scott was being observed inside the store on camera, (a slip of the tongue if you caught it).

I caught that the day it happened. It is why I knew they were lying from day one about the Security cameras not working.

I'm in no way defending either Costco or the police. That being said, monitors inside the store may very well have been working while recorders were not. Think VCR - you could watch something without recording it (pass-through).

A DVR is set up to record with a slight delay and pass that video to your set - meaning if the recording device is out, the video likely won't pass through to the tv. If they do have off-sight recording backup (as has been mentioned by the Scott family), then the lack of in-store recording may be a non-issue, unless the off-site system requires the on-site system to be properly working. Who really knows.
