It's very efficient to use lower quality images, because you're able to gain a lot more storage space, which essentially is more important to a business.
I don't know of any HD-quality CCTV systems, if they were around, they'd be using TBs of storage space to store everything, and even then it wouldn't be long until the previously recorded footage would need to be replaced with newer footage.
