The Monitor, which is located in Cold Storage's main room, follows the movements of any players in the room, but stops paying attention to players when they leave the room. It is capable of seeing players using [[Active Camo]], implying the usage of heat sensors or other optical technologies.

It has been speculated to be a "local caretaker," designated to watch over the facility like a prison guard, and similar in operation to a [[human]] [[AI#Smart and Dumb AIs|"dumb" AI]]. If that is the case, it can be viewed as having either failed or succeeded in its duties; the Flood Containment Facility ''has'' experienced an outbreak, but there are no [[Flood]] in the room that the Monitor resides in. The Monitor ''may'' possess offensive capabilities; while it has never been seen using an attack (and no attacks have been programmed for it in ''Halo 3''), there is no other visible explanation for the lack of Flood in its chamber.

The Monitor is apparently invulnerable to damage, and is attached to a pair of rails that run along the ceiling. It has not been seen using these rails, however, and in the game, it is programmed as an immobile piece of scenery.
