What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
This gives ISD access to site-wide cameras, like the O5 has on Floor 3. It improves security, helps ISD respond faster to threats, and ensures rules are followed.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Similar ideas have been suggested but focused on limited access. This suggestion gives ISD full coverage, making security more effective.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):

  1. Better Security & Faster Response – ISD can spot threats and react immediately instead of waiting for reports over comms.
  2. More to Do for ISD Agents – If an agent is assigned to cameras, they have an active role instead of waiting for incidents.
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:

  1. Privacy Concerns – Some may feel uncomfortable with more surveillance.
  2. OSA/A-1 Authority Conflict – The OSAs/A-1 may see this as ISD stepping on their role.
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
ISD's job is to keep the site secure and enforce rules. Site-wide cameras help them do that. Any privacy concerns can be handled with clear policies. Plus, this gives ISD agents more responsibilities when assigned to camera duty.
 
Either one would be nice, ideally a cam room in ISD office, but the idea of an override is good too.
As this was suggested multiple times before for different departments, this literally will not work.

Right now the CCTV screens do not work with env_sprite entities causing them to flash. So we would need to do a bunch of other stuff that would likely end up reducing performance for these to work. These are also incredibly expensive entities on performance and absolutely cannot just be thrown about willy nilly.

On top of that, Ventz himself said CCTV equipment are to be kept to CCTV rooms ONLY.

Suggestion Denied



Hi @James Anderson ,

Thanks for taking the time to make a server suggestion.
The Content Team has chosen to deny your suggestion due to the following reasons.

This has been denied due to the fact that randomly placing cameras do generate lag. The reason we are able to have the cameras we have now such as LCZ, HCZ, and floor 3 cameras are due to the fact that those rooms have been optimized for them. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me on discord

Your suggestion will now be locked and marked as denied.​
