We are not many years away from facial recognition cameras tracking everyone in public spaces in real time with updates to a centralized database system.
Anyone hiding their face, or not being recognized by the system would be flagged for investigation by on-the-ground units.
At this point, almost all non white-collar crime would be prevented, or the culprits quickly caught - which leads to prevention.

As others have stated, it depends entirely on how seriously the police takes these crimes. If the police actually get the footage and investigate, sure, crime can be stopped. But, at this point, the limiting factor isn't collecting the footage. It's getting police resources to find the crime, and publicize the various film and video footage.
