We all have chambers onboard, actually 2 because you have to have one ready to go, and you have one in use with a diver in deco. The video system is more for the convienience of the company man and dive supervisor to be able to see the details of the job and any problems or unanticipated situations directly. Hell, chambers are cheap, I'd like to see one onboard if I'm diving 250'.
