Typical security camera on a wall.

Security Cameras are a common sight in the underground installations of Underrail. Some of them are automated and can cause alarms without anyone watching them.

Description

Optical cameras mounted on walls and connected to a security system. They have lights which change color with their mode.

Automated security cameras have three distinct operational modes:

Normal mode - They slowly rotate 180 degrees on their pivots, scanning for hostiles. Full rotation taking about 15 seconds.
Possible sighting mode - After seeing a hostile, a camera tries to track its target and confirm the enemy sighting. This takes a few seconds. If the hostile doesn't quickly move out of the camera's field of view, the camera will confirm the enemy sighting;
Alarm mode - The camera alerts nearby Sentry Bots and possibly others to the initial sighting location and continues to track its target.

Cameras return to normal unalarmed state a few seconds after a sighting has passed from their view.

Tactics

Stealth Mode does not work very well against cameras, if at all. A Cloaking Device may help.

Security cameras can be attacked and destroyed even before they manage to cause an alarm. All methods that work against mechanical enemies work well against cameras as well. They don't have much HP and will usually be destroyed in a couple of hits/shots.

Also, wherever there are multiple cameras, there will usually also be a security control room somewhere nearby. From a control room, the player can watch the cameras and sufficient hacking skill may yield opportunities to hack into other security systems.
