Security camera tipps?

[Dana.]

Hello :>
Is there any specific way to handle these annoying security cameras? I'm in the jungle prison and simply cannot look into any prisoner desk without a guard coming at me and beating me up. Doesn't matter in which direction the camera is pointing. Before you have opened and grabbed something from the desk, the camera already moved back at you. :/

They are cabins for 4 people at the same time and the cameras are >within< the cells.

Beats me.

you can move the chests to the other room to left or the bathroom.

What i've read is that it doesn't detect it if you are wearing a guard outfit (apparently they aren't detected by contraband detectors if warn either, but not too sure on that). A medical outfit MAY work as well.
In TE1, Aftershave worked to disable cameras and I think that toothpaste could be used to disable them as well. Unfortunately, these were temporary disables. I'm not sure if this works in TE2 or not, but it should do.
On certain maps, the generator does not require a key to access, meaning you can easily disable the cameras and contraband detectors (HMP Offshore, Area 17 are the only ones this works on, I think.)
I found a risky method that works on K.A.P.O.W but only if done well. What you do is open a desk in front of the camera. This will alert a guard. Run into the locker. The guard will come in and check the camera. While this happens, you have a limited time frame to open a desk. This is not picked up on the camera and the guard will not notice. However, I have only ever done this once successful.
If you look at the cameras closely, you can see a green triangle coming out the front. This is the view of the camera. You can open a desk without being noticed if the camera is facing the opposite side. The best way to learn this is to watch it go back and forth a few times, and even open some desks when you think it can't see you. If it does, you have to wait longer. This method works better on the desks nearer to the camera, as the camera must be turned more to see you.
As Melham said, you can move the desks. However, I think you can't move them through doors, so you cannot move them into different rooms. You may be able to move them through gaps in walls, but the likelihood is that you probably can't.

Hope this helps you and good luck escaping!

Stand to the side of the desk and it doesn't detect you. So don't walk directly up to it where you are parallel with the bed, do it so you are parallel with the wall.

Thank you guys, I'll give it a try! :>
Especially the aftershave/toothpaste thing.

Duct tape disables them temporarily.

You can also move the desks out of their line of sight, then you can loot whenever you want.

If you are playing on the map "Camp K.A.P.O.W" there is a generator room at the bottom right of the map, it has a switch that turns off the prison light, causing the cameras and metal detectors to turn off. Print from location: https://prnt.sc/26bt5yv https://prnt.sc/26bt65e
