How did they kill the cameras? CCTV probably had back up batteries. What they’d do zap it with an EMP? Sounds fishy to me. Any security camerafags care to enlighten
It depends on the system and how it's built. I'm assuming there is a central security office where all of the cameras at MAL can be viewed. A property that size, at a minimum, would have 100+ cameras to be properly covered. Camera systems that size have banks of harddrives that are server controlled with software to control the camera PTZ, the recording feeds, banks of cameras, and image roll recall. I would argue that security for MAL would have vigorously shutting off the camera system server/controller as they would be entirely blind for all of MAL. Most likely, they shut off specific cameras in the area of the search. Unless that system was built with that event in mind, it's doubtful video exists from the blacked out cameras. ANd probably no need for battery backup (UPS) as a property of that size, in SFL, undoubtedly has a generator with fuel tank for critical systems at a minimum - security being a critical system.
1MW is a biggie. Like tractor trailor sized. We had 4 of them at an outpost. One for us, one to power the village (which we shut off when the natives got rowdy) and 2 spares.

So did they walk into the SOC and say turn off the cameras - here’s our warrant?
I thought MAL Security refused to turn off the Security Cameras?
I would assume that was covered in the warrant or they strong armed them into it.
I worked in an area at my company that had redundancy using UPS and a 1 MW Generator.

It was YUGE.
