Captain takes a picture of vampire.
Captain silently lasers the vampire to death and gibs the corpse.
Captain feels like a big man now.
1. The captain must know a vampire is around OR they must be a huge metagaming asshole who would actually be willing to waste their time getting the cameras around and taking a picture of each crewman for the purpose of testing them.
2. The captain must give a shit.
3. The captain has to actually take a picture of the vampire with the camera. This means he will have to snap a pic of many people. Some people will be moving, risking the chance of somebody NOT being in the picture because they moved too quick, causing them to kill them as a non antag. They could negate this by telling them to hold still and threatening to arrest them if they don't.
4. When they find the vampire they have to not be shit, making this course of events unlikely (see ALMOST EVERY SYNDIE ROUND EVER).
I only see this being useful when the crew KNOWS there's a vamp around and they're disguised. Like, I have no idea why you think sec is going to suddenly start snapping pics of everybody. That's a really dumb train of thought.
However I do agree that it seems like the addition of a needless weakness for vampire.
Except in reality:
1. The captain is usually a play to win asshole grabbing the slot for access, free gun and potential captain treason. People of this category are liable to use cheap tricks to traitor hunt.
2. The captain is shit. He also usually gives a shit about the antagonist murder bit.
3. Clicking the mob with the camera ensures that the mob is photographed regardless of whether it moved or not.
