It would make sense that in a futuristic military complex like the Phalanx complex, such a basic, efficient and cheap security feature would be used : Security Cameras.

Security cameras would allow to always see aliens when they are attacking your base.

Those could be either :
- A feature present by default in the base,
- An "item" you buy from the shop ("base security camera coverage"),
- A new "room equipement" class item, you have to buy one and assign it to each room you want to watch,
- A "Security Room" (that would provide additionnal advantages, such as having your soldiers spawn here when your base is attacked, and ability to spawn new soldiers when one dies, if you still have some in reserve).

I think it would just be normal to have a clear advantage when aliens (that you most probably saw coming on radar anyways) are attacking your own base.

A very good idea !!!
I am all for it, I just do not like the 'room equipment' class item, because that would be too much micromanagement...

It also would be logically IMHO that all the soldiers stationed @ a specific base should be able to fight, whether with or without camera-system.
I like the idea that you can upgrade the homebase with different security-systems & the "base security camera coverage" to always allow to see aliens when they are attacking your base...

The base-defend-mission should differ from the other other missions indeed !
