This shocked me a bit as I'd never seen it before, and that it kind of goes against having the privacy of a suite.

So I have 4 questions for any EK insiders:

1. What is it for?
2. Who has access to the output?
3. Is it recorded?
4. What can be seen via the camera, is it looking into the central suites or over the top of them?

Thanks

Now this does worry...I hope the recordings are secure as I would hate to see me on youtube in the near future under the heading 'Fat man tries to get into XL PJ's on Emirates flights'

I was told once that the camera from the bar area on the 380 is fed into the cockpit so the captain can keep watch if needed and put seatbelt sign on if there is any trouble.
