Perhaps departmental cameras would be camera networks - like the bot camera network. When one goes down, the network is disabled and the AI cannot view it.
*However*, the AI should be able to spend a bunch of cycles to repair it, or sacrifice Cycle Regen to force its way into the camera network. Simply disabling the network hub should not be easy, and is 100% a form of grief. The more cameras it has to force its way into, the more CR the AI has to sacrifice, and subsequently having to toggle whatever machines it has connected to generate more Cycles rather than storing them.
Essentially, disabling the cameras would indirectly weaken the AI, because it would either be blind in that area, or sacrifice some of its power to be able to see the area.
