Suggested correction: Most places like this are likely to have CCTV and the office would be the optimum place for the manager to watch on the monitor.
CCTV was very uncommon in 1975. It wasn't until the late 80s it became more popular and even then it was of poor quality. Not like what is in the mistake.
