26. Except it was the very outdated recording system that was on the fritz, not the camera itself

The self-preservation part was working i.e. the camera feeds were still going to the guard booths.

Horowitz’s report and related DOJ material describe the MCC New York surveillance setup as an old, analog camera system feeding into digital recorders that were prone to frequent failures.

How the system was described
The cameras themselves were characterized as antiquated analog devices that fed into DVR units rather than a modern, fully digital IP-based system.

The electronics technician told investigators the equipment was old, the recording devices frequently malfunctioned, and the overall analog system was poorly maintained.

The DVR system (“DVR 1” and “DVR 2”) relied on multiple hard drives that had a history of failures between 2017 and July 2019, culminating in the July 29, 2019 DVR 2 failure that stopped recording many cameras 12 days before Epstein’s death on Aug 10, 2019.


Horowitz was Obama's pick for DoJ IG and stayed in that role through IQ45 and Biden's terms.
