[Update] Maddie detectives have 'material evidence' she is dead but refuse to say more

When we're talking about media technology specifically

I searched for videos for 2007 and this meme is a decent example of what home recording looked like in 2007 if you had an average camera and filmed in normal bedroom lighting. He's looking straight to camera and you can still barely discern his eyes or closed mouth. A recording made in low light would be a great deal worse than this.

Better results were definitely possible - by using a dedicated video camera, and keeping the footage uncompressed - but due to the cost, a lot more people were using stills cameras or mobiles with a 'video mode' than were using dedicated video cameras in 2007. It's totally plausible for this kind of video to be a blurry mess.
