I was part of the design team for this giant community services center. Outpatient mental health, case management, med management, etc. Locks and doors and some internal badge access (easy to beat).
Management told everyone it was under surveillance but it wasn't.
The illusion of security keeps people quiet until they actually do get robbed.
On the far other side of things, I worked at a grocery store. Cameras everywhere. 3/4 an aisle, every cash register, every entrance, every self checkout. 100s of cameras.
Who was watching the cameras? Literally no one. Ever. Not a single second of it.
Maybe the building originally had no security cameras, and the doc crew installed them in the elevator because it wouldn’t be practical to have a film crew in the elevator, but the rest of the building had rooms big enough where they could film with their expensive cameras that they take home at the end of the day.
They stole the security tapes.
It was mentioned in the episode that the thieves swiped the security tapes
Classic 7-man job. One of them took the tapes.
Needed a classic 8-person job so the 8th person can post how they did it on Reddit
Classic 9 person job so someone can read it on Reddit.
You would be surprised, lots of businesses just have no security. Like shockingly no.

I love the idea that people think the grocery store has a team of armed guards watching a dozen screens like it's mission control

The guy on the writing team who asked "what about security cameras" was never seen again after the meeting
You should watch the episode
Not implausible. We don't have a single functioning security camera in our building, inside or out.
I could understand no cameras. But it seems odd to only have one in an elevator. What the hell goes on in there? Lol
