cameras - what's the effect?

[theguzon]

On the first stage, there is a security camera outside with a goon patroling next to it.
1. Assumeing the goon was not there, what would be the effect of shooting the camera? is it going to alert other goons?

2. I saw an in game tip that said that going to proon can help with being undetecated? it doesn't seems to affect the camera if I am walking next to it or laying down... the same ?! symbol appears next to it...

3. I took down the goon while the camera was on, but nothing happen (expect the ?! symbol again)? the near by goons seems to continue normally...

Can someone please shed some light?

Thank you!

Cameras are going to alert the guy watching them. if the camera is green, nobody is watching it so you're good. On the flip side, there's only one guy watching a camera so you are only going to get a security freakout modeled from that one guy outward, same as most other security freakouts you cause. I've only tested going prone right near a camera, but given how this game is I doubt going prone will save you if the camera is across the room and feasibly would have LOS to ground.
