Apartment CCTV doesn't cover every floor
I'm trying to use the CCTV system to check the camera outside a certain room. It's one of those apartment buildings where the first 9 floors have small apartments (and one security room), and the upper floors are all exclusively one apartment.

I've managed to sneak into the CCTV room but the surveillance only goes up to the 9th floor. I don't believe the apartment I'm looking for had a computer of its own inside so I'm stumped as to how to check the camera footage.

Any ideas?

EDIT: On the same subject, some cameras appear totally black. Is this a bug?

Did you check to make sure there is even a cctv camera on the floor you want to check? No cam, no floor coverage.

Cameras can be turned off, by NPCs too; Check if it's on.

If you're sure the floor in question has a CCTV, check if there's a second cctv room somewhere. But some buildings just dont have a cctv room at all, they push their cctv monitoring off-site/out-city to another company (currently I don't believe this is represented in game, just the building doesn't have any accessible CCTV room anywhere; but IRL many buildings do this)

Ah, I went back to look and indeed those floors don't have CCTV. Well, that'll make this case a lot harder. Thank you!

As a tip, even if a floor doesn't have a camera, you can still use the cameras on all the other floors to make some deductions. As an example, if you find that a face is seen on the 9th floor, but never came out of any apartments on the 9th floor, then they must have come from the 10th floor.
