Does anyone know why it wouldn't be equipped to record and stream video?

Intuitive Machines has also been contracted for additional Lunar communications.

Addendum:
I saw DSN [0] antenna DSS 54 reporting contact with "Lunar Node 1," which is a payload on IM-1. That doesn't necessarily mean that the rest of IM-1's data is going that route.

It seems a bit iffy to change the mass of the craft like that while landing. The weak signal might be due to the craft having fallen over on its side, but time will tell.
I've looked at a few articles and it does look like they're actually using Wi-Fi.
(This will no doubt confuse some non-techie people, who use "Wi-Fi" to mean "an Internet connection".)
Ok, I consider those images lost.
