Can't find surveillance room

[theonefrancis]

I've been moving up and down the building where the murder happened, but couldn't find the surveillance room anywhere. There's two surv rooms on the bottom floor, but they are connected to the stores around the building. Also, there are cameras on any floor. Maybe I'm missing something?

i also had a building like this where i just couldn't find the cameras, not sure if it's just a mistake of procedural generation or what

[Zalugar]

Only apartment I couldn't find surveillance on was like a 5 story one. I just assumed since it was a smaller complex it couldn't afford proper security.

I had this exact same issue. I think the linking of the buildings caused the apartment surveillance room not to spawn with the apartment. It was very annoying so I made a new map. Its an error of the generation from what I can tell since every other building has it if it has cameras

Never appen to me. I look at the map when i dont know the layiout of a building (when you can't identify the security room by is icon on the map). So i open my map and look for a single room connected to the main hall (the hall with elevator). This room can be on any floor. Generaly between 4 and 8 floor.

same

are you playing on the default city? maybe it's only an issue with the ones we generated ourselves? or maybe some of us were just unlucky

Negative, I play on random generated Very Large Maps.

The interesting thing is that my victim was collecting evidence about a stalker outside a pub, which is part of the main building. No street cameras there, though, so it's impossible to see who it was.

Sometimes, some residents have that Crunchers. Probably they are resident manager or something. It does not say on the door, maybe check for the manager and their house.

I couldn't find them at all for the life of me till someone mentioned you can check all the floors with the map and to look for a small room like a closet.

It appears this happens when they have CCTV at home (doesn't make much sense but still lol)

[The FogDog]

There should be a way that the game just adds an extra floor on top of the generated building for the telephone, CCTV room etc

[Meebo]

check the streets near the entrance of the building, theres atleast maybe cctv footage?

If you are struggling to find the Surveillance room, find an address book. look for all company names with the word 'Management' in it. One of them will be the management for the building.

Alright guys, to wrap this up, I have found possible reasons:

This usually happened on the first iterations of the game, before the devs fixed the procedural generation.
As of now, there are three possible combinations:
- A security room that watches both the streetside stores and the building
- Mid-floor security room
- Landlords with centralized security systems.
The last ones are much harder to find mostly because they are behind apartment doors and have several turrets. Unless you find out who the landlord is, you have to move door to door.

Isn't landlord is the one tenants have to sign rent agreement with? You can just go to any apartment in that building and find their name in the document box.

well i found out the landlord live in another building and when iget into his computer the security footage cannot been seen because there is no connection to the place, well im think my game were brick already
