What sort of technical specification is advisable? I
should imagine that a blurry, smeary, B&W shot of some
one, (who could be any body) only 1/4 height of the frame
has less chance of being of use versus a sharp, defined,
colour image even with the same sized figure.

Things have improved, but when cameras were fisrt used in
football grounds, the B/W pics were far better for ID
purposes than the colour. Colour was OK for, well, colour
of clothing, but for features and sharpness of image B?W was
best. (20 yrs ago FWIW)

How about the date/time stamping what are requirements
for that?
