And since when did security cameras have the same viewing field as the human

instantly including vertically down?

And the advantage of being able to look at the foot of the tower would be?

I don't know, something happening nearby that may be of concern. Use your
imagination. The human eye is quite good at catching motion on the peripheral,
perhaps a vehicle or person where they shouldn't be etc. Something you won't
necessarily spot with screens showing narrow angle camera views.

If you looked at the reports you'd see they aren't narrow angle views.

You also have the possibility of overlaying relevant information on the
screens such as tagging the image of each aircraft with its flight details.

See above.

See what above? You haven't addressed the point at all.

The point being you could do all of that in the control tower. FFS, you can
get all that on flightradar24!

You still need a screen to to display it, once you accept that then we
are back to the point where it doesn't matter where the screen is
physically located.
