There _are_ security systems that stream a lower bandwidth zoomed out stream to clients reviewing footage, then sub in the full resolution version of the region being viewed when you zoom in, as a bandwidth savings mechanism - multiple 30Mpx camera feeds are impractical to stream around all the time.

Of course, they automatically substitute this when you zoom, they don't make you click "enhance", that'd be terrible UX.
