Content Suggestion Deployable Cameras

[Doug 'TrippleD']

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
This suggestion adds a headcam like system, but on deployable cameras. These cameras could be deployed on a tripod and carried by anybody. They can be placed on most surfaces and their feed access via the personnel tablet. When placing the camera, you can set its clearance access level and name so you can easily find it on the headcamera system and limit who can see it. Different to headcams, these cameras would have sound and colour vision. Finally, these cameras would have about 200hp so if you shoot them enough they will be destroyed.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Nope.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
New, interesting research dynamics
More realistic approach to dealing with certain anomalies, especially when d-class are too unsafe to enter
Greater level of options for gamemasters to use

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
Development time

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
My main idea for this system is for it to be used in research and events with gamemasters, where they may want more immersion and the ability to have a secondary option over headcameras on d-class with the ability to have sound and colour vision, at the cost of the mobility.

Why not?

I like the idea but i think the only issue would be resources for the server

this has so much potential

this is so going to be abused on surface lmao, i love it, its potential for security use is immense.

+support only if combatives get to hide these during raids and stuff it'd be a cool extra thing to do (e.g. a CI deepcover whose only goal is to secretly hide a camera for later use in a raid)

These cameras could be of great use! It would be nice to have them be bought from the F4 menu, similar to drones.

You're not thinking big enough. DCs should be able to set up "fake" cameras that look like the normal CCTV cameras around the site, but they're actually CI cameras.

Imagine, you're a response unit walking around LCZ and you notice a camera on the wall above CPC-ish. You ask the passing research group if that camera was always there. When they say no, you start shooting at it. At that exact moment, an ISD agent enters the room and sees you shooting at a camera without context. They proceed to arrest you because they think you're breaking CCTV cameras.

What?...

+Support this sounds like it would be sick, lots of new opportunities for raids, research without relying on headcams, stuff like that

be deadass how yall think this gonna work and not be a laggy mess

It's not a bad suggestion by any means, but it's not needed right now.

As you mentioned, we already have systems like headcams, plus drones that can provide tactical advantages from the sky, and a full CCTV system in place.

Would it be cool to have deployable cameras? 100%. But the performance and development cost is not worth it with what we already have.
