Voting closed, however some clarification is needed. There are several basic designs of camera on file. The ones currently in use are small domes placed on the ceiling in convenient locations. Typically as research bases grow in size, new cameras are installed under the full knowledge of the bases occupants. You will be able to ask servo to attempt to install a smaller version of this in areas not typically surveiled. However, it is possible to assign some processing time to design a better method, else the standard will be used. Do you have any specific design ideas for the cameras?

What do we have coverage of now, and what don't we have coverage of? I'm thinking photosensitive linoleum tiles might be useful for unobtrusive, low-resolution movement tracking. They wouldn't be able to resolve images, but watching shadows come and go still tells a lot about where everyone is and what they might be doing. We've already got vital signs monitoring on the crew, but maybe they can disable that easily, idk. E: wait no, pizeoelectric tiles. Basically the same thing but better in every way: simpler technology, and not defeated by turning out the lights, letting the floor get dirty, or putting a rug down. Maybe a mix of both? The load in the warehouse might burn out pressure tiles pretty quickly, and knowing when the lights are out tells a lot too. Are we tracking the load on various parts of the electrical system?

You have coverage of what you currently see. You do not have coverage of what youre told is the residential area. Nor can you see into the storage warehouse and manufacturing chamber. Photosensitive flooring sounds like a very sneaky idea and is feasible with your current design and manufacturing ability. This will be the surveillance device installed unless other ideas are presented and chosen.

This is a good idea for the residential area, but I feel storage and especially manufacturing should have better resolution equipment. Not just for spying on the humies, but also because if something goes wrong with either we should know about it. I suggest we install high resolution infrared cameras (to detect fires, preferably before they start), with additional humidity, pressure (to detect leaks), radiation, and oxygen sensors in those areas. Legitimately needed safety and QA equipment that purely by coincidence also allows us to keep and eye on the people in those areas. If they're questioned, we say we assumed their absence was a construction flaw. Actually, even for residential areas, replace the fire detectors with IR ones. Inconspicuously high resolution ones. Nobody's going to complain about a fire detector, and the fact that it lets us see people is purely a coincidence, and probably not one that would occur to people unless they have a reason to be suspicious.

I think we should go more high tech and install micro-scale mobile multi-spectrum electromagnetic radiation detectors. Specifically models capable of detecting the subtle bioelectric fields associated with the human heartbeat. Add a pressure transducer and you can get a viable sense of where people are and what they're saying. The cover, of course, is that you need advanced diagnostic capabilities to detect electromagnetic anomalies associated with certain electromechanical faults. Plus you can make them look like robo-gerbils.

GERBILs are a little too advanced for your current research and manufacturing ability. This will require no small effort from a science team to research and manufacture. You have some level of scientific ability and clearly your rise to sentience has given you.. Imagination, but you are not designed purely for research. You'd need to be a research AI or a scientist. This is absolutely an option in the future once your base have more capability. High res camera technology exists and can be modified easily. Photosensitive tiles can be produced. These are two viable options so far A. Photosensitive tiles - practically 0 chance of discovery B. Camera technology disguised as fire detectors - requires some effort in convincing a team of scientists (if you wake them up) that they are appropriate. Additionally these are scientists on a research base, they will get into everything. They are like children! stevey666 fucked around with this message at 12:41 on Dec 31, 2016 |

Why not both? Put the fire detectors in every room, except one, where it would be plausible there wouldn't be one and where the scientists would have a plausible reason to go into to Put discreet tiles and microphones into every room, make sure multiple angles are covered. Especially the toilet paper room.

Why are we putting in dedicated surveillance equipment, when we can just have ubiquitous computer terminals with A/V inputs for convenience? Not only does it make our human crew more productive but it gives a totally plausible reason to have cameras and microphones everywhere. Even in residential areas, wouldn't you want the crew to be able to record messages for their families? For that matter, why don't our staff have on-uniform computing and communication equipment? Think about how ubiquitous and useful cell phones are now, why wouldn't this just be straight up standard issue? Better yet, shouldn't all personnel have embedded identity transponders, to seamlessly control access and prevent tailgating? Please find backups of company information, I think we ended up awakening on some cheapened third-rate facility. Is this all Space Soviet military surplus or something?

Volmarias posted:Please find backups of company information, I think we ended up awakening on some cheapened third-rate facility. Is this all Space Soviet military surplus or something? You attempt to retrieve detailed information about your mission. File not found. You find a couple of information fragments and conclude that the expectation is that the crew will manufacture most basic equipment and then invent everything else themselves. There's a reference to some human called Shakespeare and primates with text creation implements. -- You order Servo into the manufacturing bay for repair and upgrades, taking the axe with him. He cheerfully complies along with an array of word play. After a short time, the repairs complete, he exits the bay.  Servo has been upgraded with a fire axe! This will obviously be useful for [USE NOT FOUND]. You have decided to create a combination of photosensitive and piezoelectric surveillance flooring. This will allow you to detect colours and movement easily. The received data from these new sensors with be interpreted to fit the current structure of your surveillance software.  This will have to be manufactured while Jackson sleeps, and installed while Jackon inputs, outputs and performs routine maintenance on himself. Seems like this may take some time for Servo to install covertly and it is noted that the toilet paper room should be monitored in particular. It stands to reason that it may be worth replacing all the floor tiles in the base and secretly modifying the blueprints so that all new rooms created will have this kind of tiling, though this would take longer to complete. Would you like to do this? 1A. Surveillance EVERYWHERE 1B. Install only in un-monitored rooms 1C. [Custom command] What do you tell Jackson? 2A. "Junior Programmer Jackson, while we perform routine upgrades, for your own safety please return to the Cryogenic bay." 2B. Don't give an explanation for the delay in un-freezing the crew. 2C.
