Unlock security cameras by default, or offer security camera research at the beginning of a campaign.

I bought this game when the sale started for the 1.2 patch which included the security features. I noticed how difficult it was to manage security. Criminal activity kept popping up every 30 seconds or so (not exaggerating). This was made even more difficult to manage since it's clear these early campaigns were not created with the security features in mind. A very few of have the security cameras unlocked when you start, and the others don't even have security camera research pop up in the research section to unlock them.

An easy solution to this would be to offer security camera research at the start for the campaigns that don't have them unlocked at the beginning.

The easier solution would just be to disable the security features, which I did do, but it felt like I was missing out on the new feature.

P.S. It took me a while to even figure out where the security cameras were located. I suggest telling players it's located with the custom scenery when the game tells them they should hire security guards.
 
I'm having the same issue on the original scenarios theft is happening every minute it seems. You have to research Planet Coaster scenery items before unlocking cameras, but even after I did that & placed 2 guards, I still had a ton of thefts going on. Not sure if this is a bug. It is very annoying for sure! I even tried to turn security off from the settings Game menu & I still got thefts.
 
Indeed. I hope this was an oversight and I hope this can be added quickly, it kind of kills the older scenarios :(

I didn't even know they were part of the Planet Coaster scenery research. It was a bad idea.
 
After playing more of the scenario, I noticed even with camera I have 10 in a smaller park, & 2 guards there isn't any reduction in crime. Can't finish scenario loosing too much money in vandalism and unhappy people. Hope it gets fixed soon.
