Verified Central collectibles
FBC Taskboard — the first board (spawns the others)
Talk to the NPC in Central, just outside the Field Office entrance — around where the "O" of "Office" appears on the map. He has no map marker but says "hey, got a minute?" as you approach and shows a red interact prompt (if he is missing or uninteractable, progress the story further). He introduces the FBC Tasks system, and this board unlocks the other taskboards — including Downtown's. See all 7 taskboards.
Freeze Frame Camera — Watchtower
Starting at the Watchtower fast travel door, head all the way downstairs, then go into an open storage room on the side containing scaffolds to climb. Before reaching the camera, near the ledge you pull yourself up, there is another opening in the ceiling — climb through it to drop down behind the camera. All 14: camera guide.
Freeze Frame Camera — rooftop
On a rooftop behind an open door; requires the Reach ability from Jesse Sightings: The Subway Fault. Pass through the camera's door and let it see you, then descend inside the building and open the ground-floor door. Walk out to the street until you hear the click indicating the camera reset, then retrace through the opened door and ascend the building's stairs to approach the camera from behind.
Taxi
On the main road, north of the deserted road checkpoint. Interact with the taxi whose roof light is lit; on the second cycle use the one with headlight, taillight and top light all lit; then repeat the two steps (roof-light-only taxi, then all-lights taxi) to exit the Threshold. All 7: taxi guide.
Secret Hideout — Wear'Em & Wash'Em
The Central hideout is the laundromat from the Incursion Fault route: enter the code 1213 on the cash register (derived from the soda dispenser's flashing lights in reverse, per the in-store note) to open the wall. Full solutions: all 6 hideouts.

The second sketchbook's name and puzzle, the dog location, and the testing facility details for Central are being verified — the by-type guides (sketchbooks, dogs, testing facilities) carry the complete cross-zone data in the meantime.
