Instead of guaranteed see-through-walls, just make it so thermals show what's going on inside a room through the cameras. Also make cameras tied to station power. If a room runs out of power, the cameras inside turn off, giving the AI more of a reason to bother with engine/solars/bitching out engineers. Also, if someone snips the camera in a room, that room becomes invisible to anyone wearing thermals. How does that sound?
Actually that wouldn't be such a bad thing. It might be kinda confusing and not much different than just that video screen the HoS has access to, but it's a neat idea.
Because instead of you switching between cameras like the AI or monitors do, it would just automatically show you the rooms as you walk by. Basically like a combination of thermals and mesons, only the camera in the room would need to be active for it to work.
