That would require one person watching 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year, 4.6 years to review. At 8 hours a day, nearly 14 years.
That sounds daunting, but you don’t have to sit through all of it.
First off, you know when the peak hours of activity and claims of crimes were.
Secondly, you can catalog the position of each camera and what was in view. You can use this to figure out what times and intervals of the footage for each you will want to save based on who you were watching and what you were watching for.
Context and time.
For example, if you have footage of windows being breached, or who opened up doors, you’d want to see that. Or if people were attacked or hurt, you would typically have an idea when and where, even if you found something after it happened, and had to backtrack to an event, and then spread out to adjacent cameras to get even more info.
You can really narrow down the amount of footage you have to sift through.
It also depends on how well it’s already been cataloged.
I think two big things I’d be looking for are 1) what acts were shown happening (or not happening) by those who were charged with crimes, and 2) how did the breaches go down?
When I watched it live on TV, the news networks were showing live footage. Many of the people going through the rotunda area (if I am remembering the location right) were staying within roped off barricades and just passing right through peacefully. Some were carrying flags, but there was never any violence shown, and it looked like most of them just wanted to be able to say they were inside.
I’ve been inside the capital building in my lifetime. Once as a tour, and once we were able to just roam around the public areas. This was before 9-11 and I don’t know how much it has changed, but it didn’t use to be some secret, private, massively locked down building. It was a place tourists could visit.
