Farmer Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Short description: In order to map CCTVs outside of a property one must be a Platinum Donator. I do certainly believe that not a big percentage of the server is willing to pay 25 eur. monthly only to have a possibility to be capable of installing CCTVs outside of their property considering server rules. As it stands now, CCTV surveillance is barred behind a Platinum Donator in my opinion. Detailed description: Currently as it stands CCTV cameras must be mapped outside of the building and no /cim is allowed instead as it would be considered PG as advised by the server rules. After doing research on what are the possibilities of having exterior furniture installed I was able to find only these two options: Platinum donator or exterior furniture kits. Furniture kits would be the perfect option, however they last only for 4 hours. Afterwards I did inquire with an admin and it was clear that these are the only possibilities of having CCTVs installed. I do believe that there are many ways how this matter can be revised. One of them being, allow a Gold Donator to have exterior furniture mapped too. Say not 15 slots like a Platinum Donator get, but 5. Or make exterior furniture slots available to buy alone rather than in a package along with other features that perhaps one does not need. Commands to add: None, unless to access the menu of placing exterior furniture. Items to add: None. How would your suggestion improve the server? By providing a wider access of CCTVs, more people will be able to use their IG footage as evidence for a crime scene. Not only that, but actual individuals will be able to role-play the security of their property. Additional information: In general, I do think this change would make it more fair towards everyone. 3 Link to comment
CaffeineHigh Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) Why bother paywalling something like Exterior CCTV anyway? If I want to hang up a camera outside my home IRL, I can do that within a matter of days, low cost if I do it myself, few hundred if I have a technician do it for me. Now, I understand that it was done to "regulate the amount of properties with exterior CCTV", but why not... put it behind an application with Property Management. A "CCTV Installment Permission Slip" so to speak. Have a security company (like Gruppe6 or HPS) do it, too. Edited August 20, 2021 by CaffeineHigh Link to comment

Other furniture? Fair enough. CCTV? No. Edited August 20, 2021 by Momo's Revenge Link to comment

Anubis Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Use IC companies, such as Gruppe Sechs and probably more who offers such as services and willing to map for the same object price for you, it'll cover you as for the Installation RP process as will. Link to comment

MrCastro45 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 "In general, I do think this change would make it more fair towards everyone. " Just out of curiosity, How will it be fair towards everyone if platinum donators are the only ones that can use them? Link to comment
