How do criminals avoid security cameras?

Lets say that you are a bank robber and just robbed a bank, how do you avoid being followed home by all the security cameras along the way?

The only thing I can think to do is:

Park real car in deserted part of the country side. Steal a car after walking a few miles. Commit your crime with stolen car. Drive to where you hid your real car and go home with the loot.

Would they get caught?

in the cold war spies used lemon juice as invisible ink, cover yourself in lemon juice and you are invisble to CCTV cameras

The FBI has access to the NSA metadata collection. Don't bring along any electronics that could potentially transmit your location.

EDIT: Do it across state lines too.

Or just put stolen plates on your car...

All I have to say is don't go home with the loot... Use a stash house that's out of your usual area but safe. And then wait. Wait for the heat to die down.

If you're careful about it, maybe one of those little storage unit places would suffice, just don't make it too obvious because they also happen to have surveillance equipment too.

How long should you drive around before returning home?

Or should you just park a few miles away and just walk back home?

You're looking for information on the final step of an operation, escape and evasion. Thegrugq wrote a bit of info about it in general here: https://grugq.github.io/blog/2013/12/21/in-search-of-opsec-magic-sauce/

I'd assume you go onto a road without cameras, swap cars and go into regular traffic...?
