150 frags and one looted CCTV camera at a Level 2 bench. The frags are nothing; the camera is a part that a turret or a launcher also wants.

About this craft

Think of a PTZ as a plain camera with a motor bolted on. You hand the bench a CCTV camera and some metal fragments, and you get back one camera you can pan and zoom from the computer station. The calculator shows Level 3 and tech trash only because it unfolds the camera, which nobody can craft. With a looted camera in hand, the Level 2 bench and a cheap blueprint are all this craft asks.

So the real question is which build loses the camera. Every auto turret needs one too, and a turret shoots while a PTZ only watches. Fill the turret slots first and convert the spares.

Watch out

The upgrade barely runs backwards. The ordinary recycler returns the camera only half the time, with half the frags, so convert a camera only where it will stay.
