From what I've read you don't even have to monitor the data from the slit sensors in real time.
If that data is being recorded and there is a possibility that a human can ever look at it then the wave collapses.
The sensors can be in place and working but if no data is being stored then the wave does not collapse.
But monitoring where the photons end up (on the collector plate, as a wave pattern or a particle pattern) does not collapse the wave.
So back to the original question, why does observing the photons, at the slits, collapse the wave but observing the photons at the collector plate not?
What's the difference?

Well, the photons you see from the target aren't the same ones. The original ones are destroyed upon impact and new ones are generated from the material. Maybe that's the deal?
