This one seems pretty straightforward. I'm pretty confident the answer is low-pressure sodium lamps since they emit a monochromatic yellow light that would provide poor color rendition for a CCTV camera.

Low-pressure sodium lamps definitely emit a monochromatic yellow light. I remember learning about that in my lighting design course.
