[Feature] Security Monitoring TV

Doing that would be easy, but it would suck. Those menu's are literally the laziest way to make menus in Byond and they're only used because they are so easy. I have to assume that whoever originally made the security camera computer made the GUI the way they did because they thought that it was more interesting visually and more in keeping with the game's theme. 

Having said that, the functionality using the style of menu you propose is better. In discord yesterday someone (or maybe it was you?) mentioned this issue yesterday in relation the current thing I'm doing with the security camera moving like how AIs used to view the station. And suggested a camera search option or keeping the camera list in the same position after selecting a camera. I think this is much better than switching to the native Byond list and pretty doable. 

I started fiddling around with making a sort of gui like that for the security camera computer after it was mentioned. Attached is a video of what I've got going so far. It's really really rough stylistically, but the functionality is there.

This will not be featured in this patch... probably. I'll be posting a new patch for this camera movement stuff.
