What happened?

When a Surveillance Center is in need of repairs and is left clicked, it functions as if interacted with and teleports the camera away. While this happens with other machinery, it's more disorienting here as your view physically changes (and camera is allowed to move). Intended behavior could possibly be disabling interaction with the camera system when it's in need of repairs and a player is holding a screwdriver.

Reproduction steps

1. Sub editor
2. Use Wired Surveillance System prefab (make sure it's powered)
3. Set the Center's condition lower / increase degradation rate / increase repair threshold
4. Load into level, attempt to repair by left clicking
5. Machine is interacted with and camera teleports
   Pressing E opens up the wiring menu, as intended.
