Security cameras (CCTV)

Put your own cameras up around your business or your house and watch them live.

Mounting a camera

Buy a CCTV Camera and use it from your inventory near a property you own (a business you own or run as the boss, or your house).
If you own more than one place, pick which one the camera belongs to.
A see-through camera follows your aim. Point it at a wall or a ceiling (not the floor). The line shows where it will look.
E mount it · scroll turn it · ↑ / ↓ tilt · ← / → change the style · Backspace cancel
Cameras must stay close to the property: 45 m for a business, 30 m around a house door. They can't go inside a house shell.
Limits: 8 per business, 4 per house.

Security Tablet: use it (or type /cctv) to open every camera system you have.
Monitors: every business office computer has a "Security cameras" [E] option. Owners can set up extra monitors with /cctvmonitor while standing in the place (/cctvmonitor remove takes one away).
Who can watch: the owner and boss, on-duty employees of the business, and anyone with a key to the house.
In the feed: mouse / WASD look around (the camera only turns so far), scroll zoom, Q / E or ← / → next camera, H night vision (only after dark), Backspace leave. The date and time are stamped on the picture.

Walk up to your camera: [E] Rename the camera or Take the camera down (you get it back unless it is wrecked).

Cameras can be shot or smashed. A broken camera hangs down, sparks and shows NO SIGNAL. The owner gets a message.
Fix it with an Electronics Repair Kit: [E] Repair the camera (anyone with access to that system can do it).

With a CCTV warrant on a business, on-duty police can open that business's cameras with /cctv. Every look is logged.

/cctvwarrant <business job name> [hours | off] turns the police warrant on or off (default 72 h). No name = list the active warrants.
/cctvclear [radius] removes cameras near you (no refund). /cctvinfo shows the nearest camera, its owner and health.
