Surveillance cameras

[Vinz]

Dear devs,

If you want new options for your game, I would like to submit this one: A surveillance cameras system.

In a first time, the possibility to dispatch a limited number of cameras anywhere on the map.
There could be few models : Basics, camouflaged, etc...
Tadaaa new "decorative" object in the park.

In a second time, and the most interesting part, we could access to a new screen which shows in real time every cameras. Exactly like every surveillance systems.
From this screen, few options:

• The selection of only one audio from a camera.
• Enlarge the selected camera and parameters (zoom, axes & rotation on/off).
• open/close the emergency shelters.
• surveillance cameras filter on/off.

In case of power off or degradation, the feed shows an error message.

And the top of the top: A companion app (Android &iOS) which could stream the feeds as a 2nd screen.

Hey Vinz,

Thank you for the suggestion! I'm curious as to what would be a mechanical use for these cameras? You already have a birds eye view of the park and you can open/close all emergency shelters with the click of a button.

For the mechanical use, I think it's only the immersion. That little options which turn good games into a great ones.
I'm on PS4, so there is no "emergency button" to activate shelters.
And sometimes, I use the mode photo+ to admire a view. BUT I have to do a lot of things each time for the same thing.
(pause then photo+ then adjust the view then normal speed then hide options)
Or I could access the surveillance to directly admire already configured views.

Or just for that feelling?
