every night they redo that video. … So, every night the video is reset
What is “redo that video”? What does “the video is reset” mean? Is this dummy-speak for “the recordings are rolled over into a new file at midnight”? Why would this cause a missing minute?
They physically remove the VHS tapes in order, and place another tape back in and hit the record button manually. Then write the dates on the box with a sharpie and put them in the rack to save for backups. The tapes only hold 8 hours so they have to swap them 3 times a day, which ends up losing about a minute a piece.
But that isn’t what happened. This was a DVR system. So someone who didn’t understand the new tech but was familiar with old school tapes came up with the lie. Or AI came up with the lie.
I was joking, but the fact that it’s questionably real that they are VHS tapes instead of digitally saved recordings is telling about or prison systems. Note, this is also a high end prison for the rich, haha

8 hours on a single tape?
