Secret Service Conference-Room Security Camera Cluster (ceiling & wall-mounted)

A cluster of ceiling‑mounted dome and wall‑mounted bullet security cameras feed a bank of monitors in the Secret Service conference room. Matte casings, small status LEDs and visible mounting plates hint at government grade installation; cables run into a hidden control rack. Agents reference the live feeds during the briefing, the cameras remaining fixed, impassive observers as security leaders exchange urgent intelligence.

After: Remain active and ready as agents disperse to review photography and rope‑line images per the directive.
