Also, observing a minuscule area of the sky for days or weeks will produce a much better image than the full field of view for 1/24th of a second in low light.

Not that your point is incorrect, but most security cameras record at a much lower frame rate than 24 fps. 2 or 4 fps are common, and 0.5 exist as well.

The shutter speed of the camera will not be 1/2 or 1/4 of a second however. It will still be taking images with a relatively short shutter speed/angle, otherwise everything would be very blurry.

Yeah that is true.

Those are pretty antique though. You can get full-HD, 60fps security cams. They're just annoying to store data for unless motion sensors are an option. To keep track of a store, that's not a great solution.
