You certainly won't get grainy images from modern kit, and it would not be difficult to set them up so they just look at the instruments,the recording kit and camera's can be set up so they take what amounts to a still picture every second, or any time period you want.
Been involved in a few setups like that, remote viewing of dials gauges ect, in hazardous locations.
Don't know what benifit it would be in this case, I thought all that gen was recorded digitaly anyway, is that not the case?.
