Removal of maintenance cameras

[Kotlol]

Hm. What if you could use the Polaroid camera in conjunction with some glue (or some other resource) to put a picture over the camera lens that mimicked what the video camera could see at a given moment in time? The image on the camera would be static and wouldn't reflect what was actually going on, but it could fool an AI that's quickly glancing through their cameras into thinking that nothing is wrong. Anyone that actually looks at the camera from the outside, though, would see that the camera had been tampered with, and it'd take a little bit of time to put the picture on the lens, so it'd only really be effective in maintenance where you're less likely to get caught in the act and people are less likely to notice. (The AI could still catch you in the act of putting the printed picture on the camera, though.)

No idea how this would be implemented in practice, just a funny thought.

Yes either removing and adding blind spots or a tool to "fool the camera's" insted of "breaking down or snipping them"

Or maybe more events where camera's just don't work correctly... you know stuff that makes engineers having to fix camera's.

That's the stuff we need technically. If camera can "stop working" out of their own. The AI has to get that camera fixed, now every camera that doesn't work isn't IMMIDENTLY suspected to be an antag sabotaging it.

Or simply tampering with a camera to show a false image that at 1st glance makes anyone looking go "Nothing huh." But if you inspect it closely, you will see something that goes: "WAIT THATS FAKE"

It makes things like that, that will make the idea of an antagonist planning a heist more fun. Imagine conspirators setting up a plan to distract security and the AI, then create a blind area of camera's to do their things and make sure security never checks it to finally end in: "GREETINGS STATION! WE HID A NUKE IN YOUR STATION SOMEWHERE! YOU HAVE 10 MINUTES TO LEAVE 5 MILLION CREDITS ON A DISCLOSED LOCATION OR ELSE THE BOMB GOES BOOM!"

Even doing something as simple as: "Modding an item to put up fake pictures infront of cameras" would work. And can only be spotted by examining camera's.
