This article conflates terrorism and crime, which are two different things with differing targets. While nearly all terrorism is criminal, not all crime is terrorism.
There are many definitions of terrorism. However, one common aspect of most definitions is that terrorism has a political purpose. Common crime does not. Toward this end, terrorists usually choose high visibility targets such as those outlined in this article:
Besides rarely having a political purpose, common crime generally tries to be less readily apparent: poorly lit areas, at night, with few witnesses present.
So that cameras funded by DHS for antiterrorism are not placed in high crime areas makes perfect sense.
